Xiri Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 But... what if they double-team on your Special Attacker on the turn you used Baton Pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narckarth Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Honestly only unskilled noobs use cheese and if you are actually good at the game you don't need it. ahahahahahahaha I'm joking of course a little bit of cheese is always fun I'm very fond of F.E.A.R not very original but you can't argue with results. there was nothing like betting your friends that you could beat their level 100 mewtwo with nothing but a level 1 Ratatta and watching the sheer surprise on their face when you did. I scammed earned many sweets with that tactic when I was a lot younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alextron Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Are you sure F.E.A.R. is always effective? Think about it. Multi Hit Moves,random status procs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCrash Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 FEAR if far from ideal. As for doubles, use a Slaking side-by-side with a scarfed Skill Swap pokemon. Another one I have seen is a Whimsicott with 0IV, -EV (in Atk) that uses Beat-up on a fellow Terrakion to boost it to +6 in one turn.

Ironbound Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Gimmick =/= banned, shitty or skilless moves. My idea of workable gimmicks would be things which can perform a unique, unexpected or uncommon role just as well as their usual roles, even better due to the surprise value. Examples: 1. Baton Pass Mega Scizor: standard fat spdef MegaZor with SD and Roost, and double BP: Bullet Punch and Baton Pass. Instead if running a coverage move, this Mon makes the ideal Passer: it's fat, has recovery, still hits like a truck with its tech-boosted BPs and can not only grab momentum like with U-turn but also suddenly bring in a +2 Lando-T or Kyu-B to commence murderizing everything. Works well to eliminate fairies so Kyu-B can end life with +2 or even higher Outrages. 2. Counter Alakazam and Weavile: Counter + Focus Sash is workable on fast, frail Revenge Killers like Alakazam and Weavile, since they usually can be destroyed by any physical hit, be knocked down to 1HP if their sashes are intact, and proceed to nab a surpise KO against mons they normally could not have, like Scizor. Alakazam has Magic Guard to switch in even on Ro ks and preserve its Sash, whilst Weavile can have Ice Shard to pick the foe off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't show that to Bibs... although I like the idea on Zam. Hm. Hm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon116 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Best doubles/triples I've seen has been skill swap Moxie to Scarf Garchomp, use Gravity, sweep field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magikarp Merchant Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 The most shameful defeat I've ever tasted was in a double battle against a guy who managed to combo Mimic and Entrainment to pass Wonder Guard from a Shedinja to a Raichu with Air Balloon. He must have been laughing his socks off while throwing out the Focus Punches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironbound Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 That is indeed a horrible gimmick. Didn't you have a status move like Toxic to whittle him down? Or did he have the forethought to have Rest on that Raichu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCrash Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Substitute is all he needs, as Raichu outspeeds all relevant Toxic inducers. I have only seen that with an Electrode but Mold Breaker is a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only seen that with an Electrode but Mold Breaker is a thing. Yeah, unbreakable sub. One of my Pokemon was Scarf locked into Discharge, which didn't help. The turn I wasted switching it out was all he needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
