Confuse Ray

[Redstar]

It's a great combo attack. I use my Golbat to Confuse Ray, then plain old Bite.

What's even better is pulling out my Weepinbell, hitting them with Poison Powder then Wrapping over and over again until they're dead. That's two damaging moves for me per turn, and they never get a shot! (Weepinbell's speed is ace, so he always gets the first move once Wrap ends, so I just use it again ;))

Isn't Toxic a better choice over Poison Powder?

One strategy I've seen a AI use in Stadium 1 is a Screech/Confuse Ray Golbat. With Screech, Hurting yourself in Confusion does alot more damage, and unlike Swagger in 2nd Gen onwards, it can't backfire on you if you used it on a Physical Sweeper.

It just annoying when a Bronzor or Bronzong uses it because it always happens when I don't have a fire type with me so it takes forever.

Maybe. But the Bellsprout doesn't learn Toxic, and I may end up using the TM for someone else.
