Memento

Icosahedron

レミオロメン♪
Memento is a horrible attack, when used in battling that is. It instantly kills your Pokemon, and only sharply lowers the opponent's attack stats, which is easily remedied by switching.

However, it is quite useful in secret bases made for EV training. For example, you make a secret base in which the trainer only has six Lv. 100 Gardevoirs with Memento as their only move. You bring in, say, a newly hatched Lv. 5 Gastly, whom you want to EV train in Sp. Atk. You go to the base, fight the trainer, and gain the desired EV's as well as a whole lot of Exp, since the Gardevoirs are Lv. 100. They kill themselves, essentially, and you get the benefits.

And that's basically the only good use of Memento. Oh, and there's contests too, but who ever does contests? :p

<-- Solves any case!
You can use any pokemon in contests, also ubers.
And memento is only good against someone elses last pokemon or a memento base.

THis sounds interesting but i don't know what you mean... *blush*

Secret bases are good for mixing records with friends, then you can fight your friend in his/her secret base with the pokémon he/she had at the moment you mixed records.

if my calculations are right, it will grow to almost Lv 17.

Lv5 Gastly has 135 exp.
Lv17 Gastly has 3120 exp.

Lv100 Gardevoir gives 2971 exp.

I did a youtube video raising a level 5 gastly through 2 gardevoir/memento secret bases. Link to "Pokemon quick leveling up" (09:05) is in my linked post in my signature as you shall see what level it reached in the end.
