The Idea
As I was playing around on my FR ROM, I started coming up with a couple simple 2-on-2 battle strategies that revolved around my Victreebel.
One was the standard Sunny Day / SolarBeam setup, using my Rapidash as the SD-er.
The other was again, a fairly standard Sleep Powder/Dream Eater combo, my Hypno Dream Eating and my Victreebel Sleep Powder-ing.
(Both fairly effective taking in the base speeds of each Poke, relative to one another. Rapidash is faster than Victreebel, is faster than Hypno.)
This got me wondering... I could combine these 3 pokemon into one 3-on-3 strategy for Gen V when it rears it's head.
It is just a stringing together of the two strategies, like so-
The Implementation
1st turn:
Rapidash uses Sunny Day,
Victreebel uses Sleep Powder,
Hypno uses Calm Mind
2nd turn:
Victreebel (speed boosted from Chlorophyll) uses Solar Beam
Rapidash uses Fire Blast (or generic damaging move replacement)
Hypno uses Dream Eater
Remaining turns:
Victreebel uses Solar Beam 'til sun dies down or target of SP wakes up/faints (If it faints, reassign Sleep Powder target; if it wakes up, readminister Sleep Powder)
Rapidash uses effective damaging moves until sun fades, re-Sunny Days.
Hypno uses Dream Eater until target wakes up/faints, then Calm Minds until another is asleep.
I know it's not the most complicated strategy, and has lots of holes in it (like if another uses Sandstorm, Hail, Rain Dance etc) but it's a start, especially seeing as I haven't really checked out any potential team members for Gen V and I don't really play pokemon at competitive level.
What do you think? Opinions? Improvements/modifications?
Your own 3-on-3 strategies?
Let me know ;)
