Neo Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'll elaborate more when I don't feel like shit, but I've created a strategy called "Skill Swap Catch" Basically you have a Pokemon with Skill Swap. Then you take two (or one pending on triples) other Pokemon with desirable abilites. From there you just play catch with them. One of my favorites has been this little set. I'll post the set I use when I'm not actually feeling like shit. Again, I'll get around to it. Do I need to say it again? Hydration Tangela. Need I say more? I'll post a video, and the sets later.

Zen Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Definitely a new one for me, since I do experiment somewhat with Skill Swap Hmm, but I prefer offensive Skill Swap, such as my Magic Guard metagross with a Life Orb, CompoundEyes heracross, or Tinted Lens volcarona. I think my only defensive Skill Swap was Levitate on chandelure and drapion, but beyond that, I don't think I've run Skill Swap to avoid attacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 It's actually pretty fun to do. I should have a log where I was volleying Hydration and Storm Drain back and forth. It was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraRPetO Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Sap Sipper Quagsire Prankster Chansey/Blissey Flash Fire Ferrothorn Those would be annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Sap Sipper Quagsire Prankster Chansey/Blissey Flash Fire Ferrothorn Those would be annoying Those would be annoying, yes, but slightly unwieldy XD The best Skill Swap sets IMHO are for doubles as opposed to triples, since they kick in to maximal effect faster and there's less risk of the Swapper being taken down. I also prefer Flash Fire on scizor, though - negates its only weakness and makes it even nastier than it already is And I think one of my possibly most annoying doubles Swap teams was Serene Grace porygon-Z/slaking/porygon-2 Along with Scrappy exploud (Hyper Voice in doubles was terribly fun to troll ghosts with).

Pocky Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Imagine Metagross with wonder guard plus air balloon, MOTHER OF GOD. And then wonder guard Sableye. GODLY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraRPetO Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I think Wonder Guard can't be skill swapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Skill Swap fails with Wonder Guard and Multitype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 So skill swap will affect truant but simple beam will not... how about gastro acid on team-mate's truant (or slow start in Ubers)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraRPetO Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Gastro Acid works on Truant, used it in Doubles with Serperior and Archeops and it was good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
