Strategy to weaken boss?

[Rosariel]

Hi

 

Hi.

I trained a xatu bold with 255 hp/def ev, and was planning to make him learn flash, thunder wave, feather danse and confuse ray. ( With a weaken ennemy pokemon, i can spam sword dance and baton pass my mega gyra, or just spam outrage )

 

It was probably a shitty idea, because this bird  is gonna die in a second. And it would only work on physical pokemons...

 

Drifblim can learn memento and thunder wave, and he has a lot of HP.

 Is it a better idea? 255 spd/hp ev with spd nature is okay ? Any risk of OHKO ?

You can use a Whimsicott (Prankster) with Worry Seed / Switcheroo / Memento / Flash / 

Ampharos with Erie Impuls / Flash / Thunderwave (for Spatk debuff)

Bold Umbreon with Charm / Flash / Wish or Moonlight / Protect (for Atk debuff)

 

BUT

 

Crits ignore all Debuffs, so there is still a chance you get onehitted.

oh nice i didnt know about Prankster thanks, how do i build him?

 

edit : But i dont understand the use of Worry Seed and Switcheroo against bosses

 

I'll go for an ampharos i guess, they seems easy to hunt. How do i build him? Speed hp ?

 

Or Raichu can learn both eerie impuls and charm +thunder wave, is he okay?

Ampharos would be spdef hp(calm) if you want raichu, you might as well use electrode(also calm)
