>>53176907You're right, I can lead Murkow+other offensive pokemon, tailwind turn 1 and then attempt to get it down to dozo+tatsugiri ASAP.
In my experience though it's been rare that 1) my opponent doubles into Murkrow first turn out to clear things for dozo+tatsugiri and 2) they keep both of them in the back and they both go out as the last two, typically one of the pair appears first and it's a clear tip off that I should keep murkrow alive. Choice scarf giri could be somewhat usable solo but it's the surprise factor that helps it, at irl tournaments you see it on the team sheet and adjust accordingly
Also entirely possible that I'm in elo hell and the combo is actually lethal in the hands of a good player lol
