When should I use pcall?

Use PCalls to handle things that could possibly error, such as datastores or Http requests, or if you're finding code doesn't work, you could do something like:
local success, err = ypcall(function()
ppppppppppprint("i error!")
end)
if not success then
print("Oops! I errored: " .. err)
else
print("I succeeded!")
end
This is a good tool for code errors, it is a good ally of a function if you want to keep track of what went wrong, you can use pcalls to keep track of your code carefully, putting one at each important step.

It slows everything down so no don't do it often.
