Behold! More Corn!
what do u think the cheapest pokemon strategy is? I think its SkarmBliss (switching inbetween skarmory and blissey until the other team is full of spikes/paralyzed/dead)

lmao.

Double Team, obviously. Hi I don't know how to battle so I'm hiding behind a ton of Hax and winning unfairly.

I dont think Articuno with Mind reader and Sheer cold is cheap as the opponent can switch. However, if you teach an Articuno Mind reader it had the same effect on the opponent as Roar does, since any clever person on NetBattle will always switch is an Articuno uses Mind Reader.

lol, $~BlIsSkArM~$ is no cheap. Mixed sweepers own them easily. And there are: Double team/Rest/Fissure or Sheer Cold/filler and Spider Web/Mind Reader/Spore/Sheer Cold.

Just because you can't counter two pokemon, doesn't mean that they are cheap to use.

Guess you're one of those who also clauses them right? :rolleyes:

Anyway double team/evasion moves/OHKO moves/using hax items/any other hax I've forgotten to mention are the cheapest "strategies".

Although I hardly call crossing your fingers and hoping for luck to settle in to win the battle a "strategy".

Double Team is not strategy. It's "fagegy". 8)

Mind Reader + OHKO is less cheap than it is stupid. It's still cheap, though.

I don't see why people always complain about Double Team. It has its strengths and weaknesses just like any other move, the weaknesses being the obvious fact that it's not a guaranteed miss and that there're several moves with a 100% success rate to counter it (Aerial Ace, Faint Attack). But I'm no competitive battler... as a person who views Pokemon for the single-player RPG as it is, everything's fine with me so long as it was legitimately programmed into the game (now if you, say, used a Yamirami with Wonderguard, 999 in all stats, and useful moves it couldn't learn like Silver Wind, then you're a cheapass).

Faint attack sucks as a move, as does Aerial Ace most of the time (considering HP Fly is used over it). Also, you can still miss even if you try to phace it out with roar/whirlwind.

The only true counter to it is Haze. Roar is better than haze. Also, few pokes (let alone usable ones) have haze on them.

That's why it's frowned upon. And rightly so.

Double Team is considered a no-no and downright underhanded move to use because it turns the whole battle into luck, and can be quite frustrating. If you have a Cacturne holding the Brightpowder using Double Team and Attract in a Sandstorm, then that's not very fair for the other guy since both players have to gamble, and the outcome of the battle will not be based on the two players' skill levels. It's not so much a strategy as it is the Pokemon battle equivalent of a chicken with its head cut off.

The cheapest strategy by far is...

...unplugging the link cable that's connected to the opponents handheld when you're about to lose. It's SO unfair and doesn't show any skill (apart from sharp reflexes)!
