I thought Substitute always failed if the user had less than 25% of their total HP left. I was just playing online against some shitter with a Shaymin, and it used Substitute when it was at WAY less than 25%, and it still made one. What gives? Is this a glitch, or did they change how it works in Gen 6?

If a Pokemon has at least 100 HP, they're able to make more than 5 substitutes in a row. Pokemon like Kyurem and Shaymin have sets specifically based on this.
If this is another issue entirely, post the replay or we call bullshit.

Explain to me as if I were a noob, because I seriously am on the competitive front. How can you make 5 subs if you need a quarter of your HP to make each one? The math is impossible.

It's 25% of the current health

Leftovers recovers after every turn. After doing Substititute four times, you have exactly healed back 25% of your HP - enough to make the 5th sub.

>>27200922 Is just fucking retarded. I think what he was thinking was that if your Base HP is more than 100, you can make "101 Substitutes" which means they take 101 HP and thus Seismic Toss/Night Shade don't break them at level 100.
