RE: The Competitive Battling Simple Questions Thread
A couple of strategies with abilities, yes. The most obvious ones are having Drizzle up while pokemon with Swift Swim are on your team, but that was pretty obvious. In addition to cresselia swapping levitate to Heatran, another one is swapping levitate onto Regigigas, to get rid of Slow Start. Cresselia is pretty bulky, so you can also swap Slow Start onto your opponent's pokemon in addition. You might also try the same Skill Swap strategy with Slaking.
Protip: If you use Skill Swap on a pokemon with Intimidate, Intimidate will re-activate.
DNA: Why? What are you trying to accomplish with it?
Verbivore said:Has anyone ever tried some troll strategies with abilities? I was looking at a few in particular and wanted to confirm/deny their validity:
Cresselia swapping levitate onto heatran, I know this is valid
Using Role Play Meloetta to copy your shedinja's wonder guard? If you call relic song you can be impossible to hit!
Using a regigigas on your own Cofagrigus to get Mummy instead of slow start.
Thanks for the help/ideas!
