Dealing with Prankster Pokemon.

Spoiler:

Dealing with Pokemon with the Prankster allows the user to have priority for setting up moves(Dragon Dance, Recover, Spikes etc.). To avoid this, you could use a move Snatch which has priority (Any priority moves beat Prankster) to steal the use of setting up moves then uses it. So the opponent won't set up. Another way to counter this is by using Taunt or using a priority move to finish it.

How to use Prankster Pokemon.

Spoiler:

It is pretty simple to use a Prankster Pokemon. You could set up behind a Substitute and Baton Pass. One of my personal tips is make sure that Pokemon has at least 1 offensive move. Why? It is possible that they would use Taunt. Or you could possibly switch out but one offensive move that doesn't effect is better than struggling because some people might use Block or something.

How to use and counter weather teams.

Spoiler:

It isn't difficult to use weather teams. Firstly, you would have to make the weather come up. So Sunny Day for the sun and Hail for hail. But I'd prefer using Pokemon's abilities to make it easier.

-Drought | Sun
-Drizzle | Rain
-Snow Warning | Hail
-Sand Stream | Sandstorm

By using these correctly, the type of weather you have up will boost a type of move. For example, a fire move in the sun would be boosted. You could use Pokemon's abilities using the sun for example Harvest or Chlorophyll. To counter weather teams, you could take advantage from the weather or clear the weather. Using Pokemon with the ability Air Lock (Only Rayquaza) or Cloud Nine abilities clears the weather.

Well that is all I have ATM. Please tell me if I have made a mistake or ask some questions and suggestions.

I hope you enjoyed this thread and let me know if you like it. {:3}​

The only Pranksters who can use Substitute + Baton Pass are Volbeat and Illumise, but almost no one uses them. The ideal way to use Prankster Pokemon is to abuse status moves to the fullest. Examples include burning a physical attacker with Will-o-Wisp before they make a move (Sableye), paralyzing fast attackers with Thunder Wave (Thundurus), sneaking in entry hazards (Klefki) or Taunting a wall before it sets up for the team (all Pranksters except for Klefki).
