Idiotic Trainers

[Pikaflame]

Trainers sometimes inflict status problem on their team mate
For example. They used Toxic on their own partner.
I think it is because of the ability Guts on some pokemon to raise attack. As for Milotic Raise Defense (Marvel Scale)

 

[Blazichu]

That never happened to me

 

[Pikaflame]

This has happened about 3 times to me
Either Poisoned or Paralysed

Also there was the time that ghost pokemon use curse with less than 1/2 health and faint anyway. Beware the Nail on GBA, Vortex on GC. NOT!

Other times when pokemon that blow up like Electrode attack when the teammate is not ghost type nearly causing them both to faint

You're right about that being to activate the Guts ability. While a Pokemon with Guts is Paralyzed, Poisoned, Burned or Asleep (Sleep Talk) its Attack is 50% higher (or doubled, I don't remember which). Since Paralyze cuts Speed in half and makes it possible to lose turns, and since Burn cuts Attack, Poison is the best affliction to have on a Guts Pokemon. And since Toxic starts working very slowly, it is the ideal affliction to purposely use to activates your Pokemon's Guts ability in a double battle. This has the added benefit of ensuring that the Guts Pokemon cannot be Paralyzed of put to Sleep before it is able to deal some serious damage, as long as it is facing foes at a similar Level.

That's because the inflicted pokemon attacks with Facade, which becomes more powerful because the pokemon has a status infliction.

That happened to me today on Mt. Battle in XD. This Chaser's Electrode used Explosion and almost killed her Crobat.

 

[Pikaflame]

Opponents sometimes use Explosion or Self-destruct with their last pokemon

Only happened to me in Deep Coloseum. A machop and a Machoke were on eachother's team, and the Machop used toxic on the Machoke. I couldn't believe it, how stupid, until it fainted my Feraligatr. Thats when I understood why.

 

[Pikamiki]

they always have a strategy when they do that. the stupidest thing about them is the chances they waste. eg. not using a super-effective move when they have the chance and their NAMES - they have to have the most lurid and stupid names ever!

 

[KalKai]

Yeah I was once facing someone who used Toxic on their own Heracross.
Names?? Where do the game creators get these names?! Kai, Mik, Kia, etc (Mik and Kia from Fire Red)

ALL the trainers I face are slightly intelligent. Only they don't use Toxic on their partner. Yeah, I agree with you on the names. They run out of names for all those pointless trainers in the games. The names can be quite corny sometimes. Like this:
Me: Do you have Cable?
Random Preson: No, I have Cabol!
Me: So, you do?
Random Person: No, I have Cabol in my house!
And this:
Cipher Peon Rett would like to battle!
Me: And I thought I was crazy, I wonder if anyone else knew that Rett is in the same place as Nett... Are they related somehow?

 

[Naruto kun]

That happens to me a lot

 

[Comis Patronus]

In the Battle Tower, I challenge myself by KOing all pokemon in the double battle not belonging to me even my teammate's. Pretty dumb but I still beat them anyway.

 

[Shadow Lugia206]

I've never seen one of the other trainer's pokemon use Toxic on its teammate

 

[Pikaflame]

I've seen it happen tons of times

 

[Deathborn_606]

Trainer's do that.

Ookay, here's why the other trainer would use Toxic on a teammate. Say you're facing a Swellow. Swellow gets Toxiced. Guts activated multiplying Swellows physical attack power by 1.5. It uses Facade. Since Swellow's hit by a status infliction, Facade's power is doubled from 70 to 140. And many Swellow's like this have a Choice Band, so when that Facade hits you'll be looking at a 140 base power attack doing THREE TIMES the normal rate of damage. AND Swellow's pretty fast, almost as fast as Jolteon; you'll need to find a way to get rid of it quickly or it'll sweep your entire team. And, as Whompithian said, poison is the bost sensible condition to inflict the Swellow with. So using Toxic on a teammate is not really that bad of an idea.

Now that that's over with...

One time in Mt. Battle, I was against a guy with the legendary dogs:
Entei used Sunny Day!
Suicune used Rain Dance!
Then, on the next turn...
Entei used Sunny Day!
Suicune used Rain Dance!

When I faced Greevil in XD I was against Shadow Articuno and Shadow Zapdos at the same time. I had two Shadow pokemon out on the field. Whenever their Shadow Sky would go down, both birds would use Shadow Sky to put it back up. Then, when I had 4 pokemon and my opponent only had 1...
Golem used Explosion!
To close, perhaps the most hilarious one yet:
Foe Snorlax used Belly Drum...Foe Exploud used Roar sending Snorlax away.

In Colloseum, I was battling Dukim and he had Entei out..
he Koed it with his other Pokemon's Earthquake...

1.5 (CB) * 1.5 (STAB) * 2 (facade effect) * 1.5 (guts) * = 6.75

6.75 * 295 max attack * 70 attack power = .... OW

Oh, yes, I did forget STAB; how dumb of me. Either way, you'll get totally pummeled unless you get rid of the Swellow. I could be wrong, but when you use the effect of Facade, isn't it the attack power that gets doubled?
