Jumpluff Help!

Member
I decided to try out the "Kari_Kagome_and_Mewtwo"s 2v2 Jumpluff which is mentioned on pokemon of the week. Instead of Aerodactyl I'm using a Dugtrio!
When I use substitute with Dugtrio then swagger it with Jumpluff it always misses! Is there a reason for this such as you can only pull this move off when battling outside of the game or on battle Net? Any help is greatly appreciated!:)

The way I understand Substitute, it guards the user from status inflicting moves (like Spore and Thunder Wave) as well as special condition moves (like Taunt and Swagger). In order for your combo to work, you will need to get off Swagger before Substitute. This means you will have to redistrubute the Speed of your Pokemon, which may mean starting over from scratch if either of them has more than 100 Speed EVs. Otherwise, you may be able to just use the EV-lowering Berries in Emerald (assuming you have it) to change your team's EV spread.
