  • I'm raising my False Swipe Sneasel to a high level before I even consider using it against a Legendary. I got it fairy high-levelled in a trade, so it's been trained since Level 34, deeming it statistically weaker than other Pokémon I have.

    I might just breed a new Sneasel, put False Swipe on it and EV it in Attack to ensure it can do the job properly. :p

    My Scizor and Slowking, work as a pair when I have my main battling team with me. Scizor's False swipe, and Slowking's yawn work together nicely.

    But when I'm purposefully going out Pokemon Hunting (for one I specifically want, or a roaming legendary), I bring my Gengar, for it's Mean Look and Hypnosis.

  • I didnt realise Kriketune was so useful. I have scyther for false swipe, polywrath for hypnosis and thief. Will probably keep them though as they are 2 of my favourite pokemon

  • Against weaker Pokemon, usually my HM slave (mostly Red Gyarados) also serves as my capture Pokemon. I'm thinking of preparing a Gengar or Misdreavus for capturing the wandering legendaries, though. I've had zero luck with them thus far...

  • First Togetic. Togetic's got average Speed and crazy Special Defense for fast Pokemon. Togetic uses Yawn. Pokemon falls asleep. Switch over to Scyther, who then uses 1 of 3 moves depending on the situation. If it's a strong Pokemon who isn't weak to Bug Moves then X-Scissor. If it's a Pokemon who is weak to Bug Moves, then Slash. If it is a really weak Pokemon then False Swipe. Assuming it is the first 2 then I use and extra False Swipe to finish it to 1 HP and asleep. After that the Pokeballs.
