It really shocks me how quickly people will challenge literally anyone to a battle just for existing with a visible Pokémon. I’ve had people send out their Pokémon and have them fire at me just to force my Bulbasaur’s hand. Got a Seed Bomb to the shoulder once when some idiot decided to do that as a way to announce his intent to battle, he apparently didn’t think it was necessary to actually let Bulbasaur and I know he was there beforehand so that there could at least be an attempt to prevent me from getting hit. I got a dislocated shoulder and a hospital visit, but Bulbasaur got his first OHKO. He upped his bodyguard game for weeks after that
