Ok. That's BS Burmy! Every time I check a tree and lead off with energy ball, burmy uses protect first turn. So then I figure what the heck, first turn stockpile then second turn spit up; tackle > protect. every time. So now I'm figuring it's gotta use protect at some point before i use my attack. go through the entire remaining PP of both stockpile and Gastro Acid, nothing but tackle, use spit up; protect. ffs.
