Choiced item sleep talk?

Question

when you use sleep talk on a already asleep choiced scarf/specs Pokemon is it able to do another move?

that sounds great in theory but put it into practice: the pokemon would have to be put to sleep by your opponent (the choice item would lock you into rest if you tried that), you would have to waste two turns swapping out and back in again, and when your pokemon wakes up, there goes a third turn swapping out again, not to mention loosing a move slot to sleep talk in the hope that this happens to you. You are also not guaranteed the best move for your scenario. In short, there are too many risks for the payoff in this strategy

Answer 1

I tested it as well but it seems it does perform the other moves as long as it could normally perform them with sleep talk despite the choice item. Cool strat idea!
