How does Trick Room work?

Question

Does it just make the sower pokemon faster than the faster pokemon or does it just give the slow pokemon priority?

>Slower Pokemon move first in the turn for 5 turns.

i don't get that

Answer 1

I'll explain this with an example:
Musharna vs. Serperior
Turn #1
Serperior used Leaf Blade!
Let's say it does damage but doesn't kill it
Musharna used Trick Room!
Turn #2
Musharna used Psychic!

Since Musharna's speed isn't that great unless you EV train, it becomes faster with Trick Room. So basically, it causes the slower Pokémon in a battle to become faster.
Hope this helps! (-o-)

it isn't the same thing but it is wrong though

I really should hide this, my phone is slow and by the time I was finished the other two answers were already up. And who downvoted me? This has nothing wrong.

---

dat lag

---

well what are you waiting for lol

---

Who downvoted this?

---

me... :P

---

Whoever downvoted, remove your votes. It doesn't matter if the answers were posted a few minutes apart, so don't start rambling because of that.

---

I did because it was no use of adding this answer because there was already two correct answers.

---

but the answer is wrong tho

---

and jcm's point to

---

not technically wrong because it relies on speed but..

---

That's exactly what was said.

---

Also, none of the above Answers gave an actual example, so JCM's comment is wrong.

---

His answer is 100% correct. Also, he has been here than both of you Pika & JCM. I'm sure he knows the rules. UPVOTE for giving an example.

---

I don't know how to say this...I'm a girl? But it's ok.

---

*Her
*She

---

I can expect this from TP, but JCM that is disappointing. Maybe Rapi was a slow typer and started first. I would've gave this BA.

---

She was on his phone. I know that feel bro...
EDIT: Sry for gender bender

---

UP, Rapidash is a girl, not a guy :P

---

Look, i am sorry, Rapidash. Also sorry for disappointing you, Ninja. I'll do better next time and think before acting.

---

Just because I spoke up, she gets massive upvotes? Confuzzling but awesome :D

---

You're lucky I'm a naturally forgiving person ;) I accept your apology.

---

Well duh :D. Still, it was a good answer. Deserves dat vote.

---

Also hidden my negative comments :P

---

That's what happens when a mod does something :P

---

Exactly.

Answer 2

It has to do with the Speed stat

Lowest Speed = First
Highest Speed = Last

Note: Moves like Aqua Jet, Extremespeed etc. still go first, Trick Room or not.

Answer 3

>When Trick Room is activated, normal Speed priority is reversed for the move's duration. So Pokemon who usually go last will go first. -Smogon

So basically, the Pokemon that is slower will go before the the faster opponent.
