I'm the guy who posted this webm before
But after a while I got sick of starters and legends and so switched to these more underpowered mons. Overall Marowak is better in this role than Swampert anyway.

At least with Fly I can get a hit in the next turn
>Also flying types immune to earthquake so why would that matterLet's say I know both of the opponents are gonna target Dodrio
I want to let Maro hit a big earthquake while preserving both Dodrio and Starmie
If I use Drill Peck or Double Edge, even if I take out one the other will still get Dodrio, and then I have to bring in Starmie and Starmie will get KO'd by the EQ too
Fly distracts them, makes them miss, and let's Maro hit one more big EQ without damage to my own mons
It's a delicate balance
If I know Starmie will have to come in then I can't use Maro's best weapon EQ
Well I can, but I have to weigh up the pro and cons of it
I could replace Starmie with Gengar and not have this dilemma at all
But...unpopular opinion here, but I don't like Gengar very much
I get the appeal, but he just doesn't do it for me
I want to use my favs if possible, so I want to use Starmie
I could also use Latios
But like I said, I don't want to use overly powerful pokes either, makes it too easy
I think the most powerful team to do the Doubles Battle Tower with would be
>Metagross (choice band Meteor Mash spam)>Latios (sp attacker)>Latias (sp attacker)>Articuno (Haze, Toxic, Ice Beam + ?)But that's just too easy. Where's the fun in that?
