    Hey everyone!

    I am a little confused... Sucker punch, the move you use to hit first when the opponent is attacking, doesnt work against brave bird, extreme speed, flare blitz, and so on. is there something i am missing? if so please tell me!

    Thanks!

    The reason why it hit after Brave Bird is that probably the opponent used a faster Gale Wings Pokémon, that ability gives +1 priority to all Flying-type moves.

    Why it hit after ExtremeSpeed is that Sucker Punch has +1 priority, meanwhile ExtremeSpeed has +2.

    I don't know about Flare Blitz though..

    Maybe there is a +1 priority fire move or copycat was in effect.
