Pokémon had no moves left with plenty of PP
I was playing Pokémon Y, freshly healed from a Pokémon center so I know had full PP on all my of Pokémon. I ran into a trainer battle, my leading Pokémon was Gabite, I don't remember which Pokémon the trainer used by the trainer's first move was Torment and I used the move Dragon Claw.
His Pokémon was knocked out on the first hit, so he sends his second Pokémon out. Wanting to give my Gabite more experience, I left him. He got the first move again and this time used Encore. So when I went to fight I get the message, "Gabite is out of usable moves" and then proceeded to use Struggle.
Is this a bug in the game to be able to use torment then encore a Pokémon like that? Or is it just a really evil way to make the other trainer's Pokémon hurt itself? Either way, I learned a new set of moves that I might run on a Pokémon.

What happens when Pokémon run out of PP?
When the PP of a move has been depleted, the Pok\xe9mon will no longer be able to use that move until PP is restored. When all of a Pok\xe9mon's moves' PP have been depleted, ordering it to attack will result in the Pok\xe9mon using Struggle, a move that deals great damage to itself and minimal damage to the opponent.How does PP work in Pokémon?
PP (Power Points) represent the number of times a Pok\xe9mon can use a particular move. If no PP remain for any of a Pok\xe9mon's moves, that Pok\xe9mon will use the move Struggle when it attacks. The items PP Max and PP Up can permanently increase the max PP of a move.Do a Pokémon have PP?
In Gen I alone, trainer Pokemon and wild Pokemon have infinite PP for all their moves.Pok pok pokat.....
