Competitive noob here, I don't understand the move Substitute.
Is it usable in slow Pokémon? Because you waste a turn setting it up, and then get hit first after it breaks.
So if you're slow:
1) Get hit on turn 1 (lose HP)
1) Sub is up (lose HP)
2) Sub breaks on turn 2
2) You do your first move so far (deal damage)
3) You get hit for the second time on turn 3 and probably die (lose HP)
What's the point?
