Does anyone here know a pokemon that has fairly good stats, can learn lock-on(or an attack similar to it) and an instant KO attack?

 

[Droglas]

Articuno is good.

the complete list:

articuno (mind reader/sheer cold)
smeargle (every attack ever)

i like smeargle. spore, lock-on, sheer cold, repeat.

 

[Nightcat]

Yeah. You may not want to use those, cause they are sort of newbish tactics that require no skill.
(Ah well, you are Noobus Maximus.)

There is a way to counter this strategy, however, as long as you have two good pokemon left. Basically, if anyone sees an Articuno use Mind Reader, they switch out. If that Articuno's main stragegy is the OHKO, then it's rendered usesless, you switch back and forth. Then you attack the Articuno.

Why not just use a pokemon that has good stats that can do something good like sweep or wall?

Articuno and Smeargle are the only ones and they have much better thigns go do especially with a pokemon as fragile as smeargle.

but sheer cold will hax out a hit eventually. it may not get the lock-on bonus, but it has a 3/10 chance of hitting in its own right. eventually, they'll get lucky, and you will have spent all the intervening time switching and not attacking.

Articuno@Leftovers
Bold Nature

Back on topic.
If you are in game, the combo is prefectly fine. But don't attempt it competetively. Articuno has the defenses to do it, but you gotta make sure you know who to do it on, or else somebody will Rock Slide you

The reason I wanted to do this was to zoom through the Battle Arena.
