FEAR stands for:

Freakin'
Evil
Annoying
Rodent

or something to that effect...

anyway, this requires a Focus Sash, which can be gotten from the old guy's house near Pal Park by showing him the lv Pokemon he asks for 3 times. (once per day)

Catch 2 high level Raticates (a male and a female) from that route near the Battle Tower, then use heart scales to teach them both Quick Attack (delete anything but Endeavor). (the move re-learner is in Pastoria)

breed the Raticates to get a lv 1 Rattata with Quick Attack and Endeavor, and make it hold the Focus Sash. congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a FEAR.

in case you havent figured it out yet, or you dont know what Endeavor/the Focus Sash does, i'll explain how to use FEAR.

Endeavor reduces the opponent's HP to your current HP. the Focus Sash makes it so that if your HP is full, you cannot be KO'd.

still havent figured it out? after your opponent attacks, the Focus Sash will keep you at 1 HP. you use Endeavor, reducing your opponent to 1 HP. next turn, Quick Attack for a nice finish.

Note that this strategy doesn't work on:

Tyranitar, Abomasnow, or Hippowdon (due to their weather effects)
Ghosts (unaffected by both Endeavor and Quick Attack)
Pokemon holding an HP recovery item
or simply if the opponent doesn't use a damaging move on the first turn

this strategy is risky, and personally i'd never use it seriously. you're essentially sacraficing a Pokemon to hopefully easily defeat one of your opponent's.

my last note is that i did not come up with this, i dont know who did. i heard about it at GameFAQs.

This strategy is well known and does not need its own thread.
