Zen Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Named after a comment that an opponent made after seeing this concept used for the first time Similar to what Elias used to do with that slaking/smeargle combo of his *shudder*, but potentially worse It's a two-pokemon combo, meant for doubles. --- Reuniclus @ Leftovers Ability: Magic Guard Nature: Relaxed Psyshock Shadow Ball Trick Room Skill Swap - Metagross @ Life Orb Ability: Clear Body Nature: Sassy Bullet Punch Brick Break Ice Punch Thunder Punch --- First turn, reuniclus opens the Trick Room, and metagross hits something unfortunate enough to get in his way. The next turn, reuniclus grants Magic Guard to metagross, who is then free to rampage with his Life Orb, minus the recoil damage (and I tested it, yes, he does apparently get the damage boost even without the recoil). What to do with the Clear Body reuniclus... well, that's up to you, really XD Or you could swap it out and back in, to further mess with the opponents if nothing worth swapping is in (once, managed to Swap a Prankster for Clear Body, LOL).

Dragonz996 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Brave Metagross? It's better to maximise his attack and kill everything quickly than having your opponents survive. Iron Head and Hammer Arm would be good if you're running Trick Room due to Iron Head's possibility for a flinch and Hammer Arm hits harder + decreases your Speed, which would be good for Trick Room.

Administrators Amethyst Posted September 25, 2011 Administrators Share Posted September 25, 2011 Another interesting concept, though. You all have a great knack for these things. However, given the two-turn set up, wouldn't it be more effective simply to baton pass to it or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 @ Dragonz996 - Well, I didn'y use Brave metagross to allow for more SDef; it needs to survive one round of pounding, after all. @ Amethyst - I did use BP once, but people tended to guess what was coming when my espeon/ started using Calm Mind. And Mr. Mime's defenses are shit Hmm, Zack was actually the originator of this idea - he did it in triples. Something involving Skill Swap to pass Skill Link from his cloyster to ludicolo with Bullet Seed and a Life Orb. Can't remember if those experiments of his worked out that well, but he hasn't used that triples team in a while. Might be mistaken here, but Fen might've tried Swapping in Flash Fire onto his scizor before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 ^ You make Skill Swap sound like so much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
