Meta Battle Subway PokeBase - Pokemon Q&A  A question about
Block?  0 votes  Does the move Block run out after a certain
time? What I mean by this is that is the Foe prevented from
switching until it faints/the battle ends, or will it run out
after a certain amount of time? And will the move still be in
play if I switch out my Pokemon? For example, say my Snorlax
uses block to trap a Charizard. If I switch in my Lapras, will
the Charizard now be able to flee, or will it still be 'Blocked'
and unable to flee/switch out.  A good answer will get an
upvote, the best will get the best answer. But please provide a
source if you are considering answering the question, and
comment if you don't have one, thanks.  asked Feb 15 by
