>>58994367>Superfang is worse since you're wasting turnsagain wrong. Fire Red Deoxys has Superpower which I purposefully didn't mention since I knew you didn't know what you're talking about. Struggle is doing 1 damage a turn. You get an extra 4-5 turns at least after the turns used to superfang.
>sleep will save far more PP than paralyze ever willOh yeah. Didn't mention it also knows taunt. have fun having it wake up and taunt you so you can't put it back to sleep immediately. And that's with Pressure so Spore is only getting 8 pp unless you want to give it pp ups which is an actual waste. Compare this to paralyzing it first turn with thunder wave and never needing to worry about it again.
>not to mention the improved catch rateCan you not understand how little difference there is between x1.5 and x2 there is with a pokemon with an extremely low catch rate? With Ultra Ball Deoxys is a 1.234% catch rate paralyzed 1.598% catch rate asleep. You are much much better off throwing balls than you are continuously putting it too sleep.
Raticate with Super Fang and Thunder Wave is the best option in all regards. Even in LG when the Deoxys moveset is less of an issue it's still significantly quicker and easier to get it ready for the hunt, and you will most likely catch it sooner just throwing balls at a paralyzed one then you are having to keeping putting it back to sleep.
