Yeah, I do know what you mean, sadly... sweatdrop The Rattata trick is dangerous! Focus Sash + 1st turn Endeavor + 2nd turn Quick Attack! gonk
I was really frustrated the other day though when Palmer beat me at the Battle Tower. He never gives me problems, but I made a dumb mistake. My BT team I usually use is Lucario, Electivire, and Scizor. Palmer sent out his Rhyperior first like normal, and I send out Lucario. Instead of using Close Combat like I should have, I used Swords Dance to build up, and then Rhyperior OHKO'd Lucario with Earthquake. Electivire and Scizor quickly followed. crying
I do like to use the weak favorites of mine though and supercharge them. My wife and I are getting a group of eight people together actually for an upcoming anime convention where we're going to act as 3v3 convention gym leaders, and I picked Grass. I picked Leafeon, Sceptile, and Sunflora (he's one of my favorites!) and they actually kick some pretty epic a**. whee
