I have a question about game mechanics. How exactly does Prankster react with Mega Evolution? I Mega-Evolve my Sableye and use Will-O-Wisp on the same turn against a faster Pokemon, but Sableye's Will-O-Wisp foes first even its ability is supposedly Magic Bounce.
That's because the turn-order is decided before the turn begins. Even if Sableye technically doesn't have Prankster when Wisping, it was already decided at the beginning of the turn that it would move before the opponent due to it being a priority move, and that's exactly what happens. We can also take Mega Camerupt as example, who loses speed upon megavolving. If normal Camerupt is faster than the current opponent, but is slower as a mega, Mega Camerupt will still move first that turn since the turn order concluded that Camerupt had a faster speed stat at the beginning of the turn.

The order that the moves will be made in any specific turn is decided immediately after you select your move. In this particular case, your Sableye still has Prankster when you selected your move (Will-o-Wisp), so it will Mega Evolve and still move first, despite no longer having the ability. The same applies for Banette in reverse - Mega Banette will move with regular priority on the turn that it Mega Evolves regardless of whether it used a Status Move or not, as (regular) Banette does not have Prankster at the time that the move order is decided.

Bummer Edit: To your credit, your other example was better than mine.

Where are the lists of how the specific usage of each Pokemon in a tier? Like where it shows the top 200? I think?

Is there a way to kick a user out of a conversation, and secondly, is it possible to lock it like what mods do to threads?
You can't kick people and only the conversation creator can lock convos. Click edit conversation at the top of the page, lock, save
 
Sorry if this is really stupid, I've looked all over the place and can't seem to find where to add/edit your signature. I've also googled it and I couldn't find an answer.

If your .gif is larger than 100kb, it will not upload properly. If your .png or .jpg, etc. is larger than 100kb, the quality will greatly reduce.
