Hey guys, I was playing around with Showdown, and I think I've developed a pretty unique gimmick. Feel free to check it out and tell me what you think.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiDcGXTw33oIt requires Durant having Truant and Entrainment. I've given it a Choice Scarf with 252 Spe to ensure it goes first in most cases. I also gave it 0 Def and SpeD IVs to give it the best chance of being killed in one hit. This means that Dugtrio gets a free switch in; meaning the foe has no chance to switch in. The rest is pretty self explanatory.
Known counters:
- Flying Pokemon being out while Dugtrio switches in as it means Arena Trap is redundant.
- Priority moves once Dugtrio gets up and going
- Prankster
- Scarfed/faster pokemon than Dugtrio
This example isnt the best, I fuck up with the double Protect. Sableye's Will-O-Wisp also missed so I was pretty lucky there, but you get the idea.
