How did paralysis mechanics change in Gen VI?

Question

When I was playing on Showdown, I noticed something strange. A faster mon that is paralyzed moves after a very slow mon.

For example: Blisset uses seismic toss on a paralyzed Hydreigon.

However, this doesn't apply when priority is used.

Answer 1

Paralysis hasn't changed at all.
All Paralysis has done was give your Pokemon a 25% chance of not attacking. It also halves the Pokemons speed

But what HAS changed in Gen 6 was that Electric type Pokemon cannot be paralyzed

Hope I helped!

its not a glitch at all

I figured it out. Now it quarters a pokemon's speed, not half.
