Question. How would a pokemon evade Flash, when it's literally just a flash of light? Like, that it illuminates the entire tunnel in one go suggests that it doesn't shoot in just one place but rather, it's omnidirectional.
The pokemon, I think, would need to run over to the horizon where the straight-going flash of light won't bend to chase it to actually be able to dodge it. Unless of course, the pokemon either runs over to a cover, or even just covers its eyes.
It won't mess the scaling that way, and it's more logical to me.

there's also power gem, which is light as stated by the description to be a " ray of light that sparkles as if it were made of gemstones."

Assaltwaffle raises a very good point. This seems very unreliable.

Again, by that logic, even Scratch and Tackle are unavoidable and require aimdodging.

Anyway.
Find out if it has been used in the anime .

It has, quite a few times.

Anyway, this should only scale to fully-evolved or legendaries if we end up acceptig it IMO. This is grossly inconsistent with adolescent mons constantly dodging HHS to MHS attacks.
- 12,239

But it wont be if the other light moves are accepted .

I guess.
Still with Assalt so far. I'll see what people have to say about this.

@Kepekley
Honestly that kind of rationalization isn't really health, imo. You acknowledge that baby mons doing combat at Lightspeed sounds ridiculous, but you ignore their logical ability to do so if this is accepted and instead imply it to the more reasonable fully-evolved mons and Legendaries.
I think picking and choosing scaling further in a verse that is already subject to iffy scaling isn't the best course of action.

FTL is the speed needed to react to the move from Volbeat. Not to dodge it.
- 15,332

Of course it is not the best course of action, but this would contradict our scaling rather harshly if accepted.
Of course, there are other lightspeed moves to take into account, so i guess it would be fine if those are accepted.

Also, kinda can't be aimdodging.
The Pokémon hears your shout first.
You logically don't shout until you know what the move is.
The name of the move is the last thing said before execution.

Now how many times has it been dodged?
- 12,239

Probably not a lot .
Dark if that was a good reason the anime may as well be thrown out , Try again man .

Checking Bulbapedia's page on Flash and instances in the anime and adventures manga, it seems only trained pokémon uses the move.

So? It means Ash reacts at MHS+ speeds.

I'm with Assalt, but after thinking of any other ways to evade, this came up:

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Affection#Affection_benefits
At affection level 4 and higher, a Pokémon can sometimes:
- Avoid attacks, even when they have 100% accuracy. This can activate multiple times per turn.
- Shake off status conditions at the end of the turn. (not to derail, but how about this? self-healing abilities?)

It's as legit as Krillin reacting to Goku. (Though tbf, Ash has lightning dodging feats ovo)

Dodging to the side is an in-game animation and is a game mechanic. Dodging Flash in the anime is performed by proactively closing your eyes to avoid getting blasted by it. In-game even a mostly immobile Metapod can "dodge" it.

Yeah I agree with Gemmy, I always thought it was more to do with aim dodging rather than dodging the actual attack. By aim dodging, it should be possible to dodge light speed attacks.
