Ok, so here's my plan- I'm thinking either Purugly or Zangoose with a choiceband/scarf, respectively, and only one move- Last Resort. I'm assuming that pokemon can get into wifi with only one move, and last resort is a beast.

That plus STAB from the normal type, and potentially a choice band buff means a very scary attack. At the bare minimum it's 260 base damage with a decent 90 attack pokemon (assuming Purugly) and 112 base speed. That's pretty bad a**.

Has anyone tried this? If not, it's mine, I call it, name it after me. Also, is damage calculated separately? Like, is it 130 x (1.5 +.5) = 260, or is it (130 x 1.5) x 1.5 = 292.5?

I want this to be known as the Steve Brule.

Ghost-types say hello. I'd run it with Ambipom. Then you at least get that Fake Out in there too.

I've seen the Fake Out + Last Resort tactic done with Ambipom as well and is essentially a step better than the "Steven Brule" as your guaranteed a free hit on top of the Last Resort damage (thanks to the auto-flinch) nulling out all chances of a Focus Sash saving said enemy Pokemon. And concerning the ghost problem, a little mistake in the game also allows a way for this tactic to work against ghost in double battles; have a teammate use Foresight. The description of the move Foresight says only the user can hit the ghost foe, but in actuality it effects the targeted pokemon with the effect "Foresight" allowing all Pokemon in the battle to hit the ghost Pokemon unless the ghost Pokemon switches out to clear up this status. How's that for catching someone off guard? pirate

I'm not concerned with ghost types really. But yeah, I noticed Ambipom just after I posted, and it's stats are superior. I think I'll go with that then.

LAST RESORT!
