>>44387540It all just seems like such a headache, most of this is stuff I already knew but if it's similar to gen 6 then I should do fine.
I know spamming is bad, I was talking about chaining two moves and doing just that for the entire contest.
Like in my Gardevoir example, I would go:
Psychic>Shadow Ball>Psychic>Shadow Ball>Psychic
and win against that girl with a Mega Altaria
That same Gardevoir proceeded to win all ranks, a true hero.
You mentioned flavors and natures, and looking into it I got worried.
My Agorith is Lonely, meaning he likes Spicy and will raise Coolness easier, that I understand.
But do natures have an effect further than training attributes?
Bottom lines (tl;dr):
Will a Lonely Anorith have a hard time in toughness contest?
Is chaining two moves an effective strategy?
