>>33181484The star center of my rock monotype triple battle team, flanked by Shuckle and TTar 90% of the time.
In X/Y, 50% of the fights started:
>Enemy used scald!>Cradily's Storm Drain absorbed the attack!>Cradily's special attack rose!>other enemies have actions, but nothing can OHKO Shuckle and they never expect a bulky T-Tar to survive that 4x super effective non-stab focus blast!>Tyranitar used dragon dance!>Cradily used Giga Drain on something with a grass weakness or neutral!>Shuckle used encore on the idiot who scalded last turn!And then TTar kills 1 thing, they either swap the encored scalder or feed the Cradily, doesn't matter because a triple battle is all about the opening lineup, Shuckle either lays down web or rocks, or infests if he thinks there will be no swap, doesn't matter, they are now trying to focus down a defensive Cradily with a team that just can't.
Oh, the other members were Aerodactyl (mega), Rhyperior (assault vest), and Archeops (Chesto berry for every damn time I faced fucking Dark Void.)
