I couldn't find a thread like this already, so I decided to make one.
discuss strategies! for tiers in competitive battling, or in-game for the various battle facilities, or just in general for specific pokemon. :O
strategies for weak pokemon to get them to be effective?
strategies for synergy between two or three pokemon? etc.
on the first note, I tried to make use of delcatty of all pokemon because I like it a lot but its stats are just so bad. :C so I devised a sort of triples thing, between delcatty, a follow-me using poke, and a cherrim. the strategy was something like:
delcatty@leftovers,
normalize
substitute
sucker punch
last resort
cosmic power
and get cherrim to go sunny to activate flower gift which would boost del's attack and special defense, meanwhile using the follow me poke to absorb hits. I tried this out once triples appeared on showdown but it didn't work very well.. haha.
as for an actually good strategy, some of you may know about the friend guard ability! which belongs to only vivillon and NFEs :T
my main team (I'm pretty much exclusively double battles) revolves around an eviolite cosmic power clefairy with friend guard, dual screens and heal pulse and a multiscale dragonite. (of course I get shut down by taunt) they are a match made in heaven ;A; I much prefer a tanking style of battling to mons that can't take any hits. I think I'd panic too much!
additional neat strategy: one thing m-banette has over sableye is priotity cotton guard! combined with will o wisp, it shuts down physical attackers. it's saved me a lot.
long OP over. :P
