nope this never works, just as for experiment give this a try and find out for yourself, literally in 1/10 matches it may pull you a win. Sorry to use this term but i was testing it in the low ladder and it didn't quite worked well for me. hard set-up sweeps may work in VGC , there is such a vid found on NB' youtube channel *in a competitive tournament), with things like m-sableye, audino, muk and whimsicott.
Hope this helps
I'm interested to see what this strategy is about, mostly because strategies like that often go to timer in a tournament setting. Was it something like minimize Muk with psych up sableye or something?
sry i wasn't able to get more info on that, and idk why i can't find the video anywhere though :P
i think u are kind of the guy who is interested in using gimmicky strats, i saw a very interesting team that Wolfe Glick ran back in 2013 in NB invitational. it was using delcatty's normalize against any opponents who can then the gegnar, haunter duo walled with gothitelle's shadow tag. this strat works through the perfect execution of the moves skill swap and role play, and abilities shadow tag and normalize.
other info on the team:
Gengar: @ Focus sash, -shadow ball,- role play,- skill swap, pain split.
Haunter: @Eviolite? possibly, -substitute, - pain split, - shadow ball, probably perish song to utilize with goth's perish trap.
Gothitelle: @ ?, - Light screen, - protect, ?, ?
Delcatty: @ ? , - Fake out, ?, ?, ?
Politoed: @ ? , Scald, Protect, ?, ?
Kingdra: @ Leftovers, - substitute, ?, ?, ?
This is an actual video with the great representation of the normalize gimmick, hope this helps! :
That strategy is pure filth, I love it haha. Just pray the opponent doesn't have taunt though :/
Wouldn't it work better with cofagrigus though? It has both role play and skill swap, the only thing it doesn't have that gengar does is perish song, which I assume is why he used it.
