You and opponent both know you are going to win that one, so opponent is likely to switch out. You take the opportunity to use Nasty Plot, while opponent's Infernape "counter" is Cresselia. Now you have +2 Infernape against the Cresselia. What do you do? | |

| May 11, 2014 at 11:12 | comment | added | Niet the Dark Absol | Hm. Fair enough. I think, considering the kind of luck I usually have, I get enough misses with Ferrothorn's Power Whip as it is, I'll stick with safer, less powerful moves! | |
| May 11, 2014 at 11:04 | comment | added | Everywhen | Also. I believe that was just meant to be an example. Remember cresselia is primarily a wall, so it's a good choice as the type matchup for a fireblast/flamethrower is neutral too. | |
| May 11, 2014 at 10:57 | comment | added | Jerry | @NiettheDarkAbsol Might happen, if you don't have any Pokemon left in your party that can more effectively battle a Cresselia, you can get a 'surprise attack' while you opponent thinks he/she can 1HKO your Pokemon (or Infernape is out, your opponent sends out Cresselia thinking it can beat Infernape). | |
| May 11, 2014 at 10:55 | comment | added | Niet the Dark Absol | Regarding the Smogon quote... who the hell would use an Infernape against Cresselia? It's stuff like that that reminds me that the people at Smogon are... kinda silly in their battling ways. | |
