That way, my sleep counter stays at 0 and I never wake up despite using Sleep Talk 7 times (the maximum amount of turns for sleep in ADV is 4).

Replay 1: In this replay, I keep using Sleep Talk on first Sleep Turn and then switch out.

Three replays showcasting the new mechanics: Useful for Heracross or some Magneton in particular.

Pokemons using Sleep Talk can be played in such a way that it is guaranteed that you will never wake up (make for better Sleep Absorbers and no wake up/Sleep Talk turn).

Pokemons relying on Restalk (Zapdos, Regice, Suicune, Snorlax, etc) will have a harder time waking up if you decide to use Sleep Talk and then get forced out.

In this scenario, you have burned 0 turn of sleep, which means it is guaranteed your Heracross won't wake up as you use Sleep Talk in the future. On the next turn, you use Sleep Talk and then switch out. You switch a Choice Band Heracross on a Gengar using Hypnosis.Now if you would to use Sleep Talk on Turn 4, and don't use Sleep Talk on turn 5, you'd reset the 'new' counter and thus will wake up next time your Pokemon is on the field (bullet point 2 in the GitHub log).When Zapdos will be back on the field, it will have 1 turn left to sleep. You Switch out as your Zapdos is still asleep. When Zapdos will be back on the field, it will still sleep 2 turns. You switch out as your Zapdos is still asleep. Here are some examples to better grasp the situation if you're still sorta confused: Keep in mind all of this is relevant only if you switch out before waking up. This affects both sleep induced by your opponent (Hypnosis, Spore, etc) and self-induced Sleep (Rest). To successfully burn all these sleep turns, you have to spend one turn attacking (read: not using Sleep Talk) before switching out.

To put it into other words: if you only use Sleep Talk (or Snore) while you're asleep and switch out before waking up, the turns you spent using Sleep Talk/Snore won't be added to the sleep counter. Click to expand.What does that mean in practice?
