Medicham could learn skill swap. Im thinking, maybe just the Medicham/Salking duos would be banned. Think about it, Slaking no longer has traunt. He now has double the attack power. Thats just scary.

I saw someone post it. And it made me think. Now I am so tempted to cheat a skill swap on medicham and test it out in battle fronteir.

So what are your thoughts??

Probably, except no one really double battles so even if it was legal, it wouldn’t be a problem since everyone does single battles. Of course, 2 vs. 2 tourneys and the like will most likely take that into consideration.

But you are cheating when you give Medicham Skill Swap so it would no be aloud in 2vs2 tournies.... However I have made a 2vs2 team that goes like this...

Medicham and Dusclops start
Medicham Fake Outs the more Obvious attacker of the opponent
Dusclops uses skill swap and obtains pure power
Slaking switches for Dusclops and Dusclops uses skill swap on the switch
Not much can take on Slaking after that

I said IF, "IF medicham could learn skill swap" im not saying I am cheating for it.

It was just a big old If. But heh, that is a good idea. Easy to set up too.,

Slaking can be a sheer BEAST. i cousin kicked my *** with that exact plan you got, if you get a high leveled slaking, it will never die, i was never even able to cut it down to half HP, and i had a Machamp, and Hariyama.

Meh. A smart player will be able to phase that strategy out since that would be the only instance where Dusclops would use Skill Swap in the first place. Great idea in theory though, and probably easy to pull off against noobs.

You can pull off things like the Mind Reader-Sheer Cold combo against noobs. Its seriously not that hard. :\
