Double battle combo

[Armaldo_ex]

Absol-pressure
double team
swords dance
slash
toxic

Dusclops-pressure
double team
toxic
will-o-wisp
shadow punch

Strategie-use double team a lot with both pokemon while watching toxic or toxic and will-o-wisp destroy them and after u cant raise you evasiveness anymore raise your attack with absol and attack them with shadow punch and slash...this is my first time thinkin of double battle strategies so im not quite sure if this will work or not.

if u toxic them an double team, thts all fine...but wat if they toxic/confuse/burn you 1st? or if they swap for electric and use rain dance thunder combo? it doesnt miss...lets not 4get about haze either....

Thunder is not made a never-miss move by Rain Dance. It's only made 100% accurate, not -- never miss/unavoidable.

Absol has cruddy defenses and will go down in one turn, with both Pokemon attacking him, then Dusclops gets killed when the attacks are centered on him.

Pressure combo doesn't work. Absol should always be for attacking. Toxic and Haze screw you bad. And if you start DTing, their going to kill the DTer ASAP.

well give him props for the double pressure thing

i mean if you have two pokemon with pressure then isn't the pp used increase even more?

if not, then this combo could easily be acheived better by two faster pokemon, like dugtrio, he's decently fast for a ground pokemon, and he isnt affected by the rain dance thunder combo

I'd suggest Aerodactyl over Absol for Pressure, and they both need Protect.
Anyone know if double Pressure would make them use three or four PP ?

[Kuiper]

Note that double pressure works only if they use double-hitters.

[Cooltrainer Josh]

Still, most people use double-hitters in 2 vs. 2. I especially like:


Swampert

EQ
Surf
Blizzard
Rock Slide.

Oh well, guess double Pressure isn't so good after all. It makes sense though, as you're not directly attacking one of them with a one hit move.
