LOL...so many techniques to counter that little rodent...

techniques:

1. lucky if he sent out F.E.A.R. while having sand stream/snow warning, whilst canceling the effect of focus sash
2. switch with a ghost type pokemon
3. use fake out
4. put it into sleep

also, more people are suspicious of it now, since many know it already....

I would destroy it.
Yes

But in a more specific note,
Attack then take the Endeavor and switch out then take the Quick Attack and kill

I almost never have status ailment moves in my in game team, im lucky to even have stat boosting moves
Any smart fearer would'n even use quick attack. Which would you rather 1 fainted pokemon or 2 pokemon on 1 hp?

They best be trollin
If double hit breaks Sashes, then I'd be fine B:

1. switch out with sand stream/snow warning
5. use a stat raising move (if you have) until endeavor loses PP
8. switch ur pokemons back and forth until endeavor loses PP

These are the worst strategies I've ever seen in my whole life.
IF you switch out the Sand Stream/Snow Warning pokemon, the Ratatta will still endeavor, bringing your HP down to 6 or so instead of 1.

If you just stall, they'd Endeavor once, then spam quick attack until you're dead. Or one of their other moves.

YEAH, BEST EVER. Let's switch out to all of our pokemon so that we have a team full of 6HP.

Then I have NOTHING to worry about. I only battle Double
And have nothing to worry about from you having nothing to worry about my Ratata because I only do singles.

First, I would use False Swipe and then let it take out my first Pokemon then,I would use an all out attack like Fire Blast, with my strongest pokemon, just for laughs.
I'm deathly afraid of mice/rats.

F.E.A.R. is so brilliant. I found it on Marrilands youtube like 8 months ago. Make sure your prepared with a ghost type

Lmao.. I don't have that many ghost pokes so I'd switch out to a pokemon I know I wouldn't need as much as the others or a pokemon that has Focus Sash. ^^
no ghosts? Gah why?!!!

Basically i am going to cry, go into a state of depression, and then blog about how unfair pokemon is that opponents get to use lvl 1 rattatas. :(

Myes... By the way, would Focus Sash work on a Shedinja?

^ Yes, it does, unless Snow or Hail is in effect.

I dont know.
Keep very cautious, that strategy is just incredible. but anyway, a single double kick from my blaziken will put it down.

I'd either:
I would use a stat boosting move let it attack me then K.O it.

use a move like shadowforce or dive cuz a foucus sash only works for the first move right?

or

use the move theif
