Battle Handicap

Giving yourself a handicap maybe a suicide but it makes battle more challenging for yourself to try to win the opponent. Such as minimum ivs, 0 evs, low attack or moves that are pretty wasted for the pokemon using it (like Aggron using surf). Will you go to extreme for this? To lower your battle toughness or break your winning streak to go for this stupidity?

Share your thoughts and your 'achievements' doing so.

Well, in competitive battling I wouldn't even need it since I'm such a bad player that I lose a lot even when I'm trying my best.
In-game I don't know, but if that's your thing...

Replace Haunter with Kadabra, and Grovyle with Shelgon, and you have one of my PO teams that have actually laddered.

They are the two I would replace if it was more serious, but I just plain like Haunter and Grovyle a lot.

my sister always make me use a handicap (monotype, only 3 Pokemon, etc.) and she always beat me. Hmm... I wonder why? Eventually I ignored her and BAM! She never battles me anymore :p

If monotype-teams are concidered a handicap, then I use them a lot.

No, my sister got to choose what my monotype was, so she could plan accordingly. That's why it was a handicap. Either way, she only made me handicap myself because I have over 50 level 100s in my arsenal, and she only has 4 (One being Magikarp).
