Y'know, ParaFlinch Jirachi is cool and all, but what if we could have a 100% flinch chance?
Well, if that's what you want, here's a doubles troll strategy that I totally didn't steal from my friend.
Format: Any Gen 5-7 doubles format that allows the use of Ambipom and Aipom
(Insert Monkey Business joke here)
Ambipom @ King's Rock
Ability: Pickup
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fling
- Agility
- Return
Aipom (use a second Ambipom if there's no species clause) @ Razor Fang
Ability: Pickup
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fling
- Agility
- Return
To begin your silly antics, begin by setting up Agility, allowing you to outspeed most Pokemon that come your way. Then, start spamming Fling, and you'll toss your Kings Rock and Razor Fang at the foe. While these moves deal only 30 BP with these items, your opponents Pokemon will be unable to do anything! Pickup will allow you to get back your Kings Rock and Razor Fang, and Return is strong STAB that can be used if you're sure that the opponent will be finished off by the attack.
Counters:
- A Pokemon with Speed Boost, or a Pokemon that can increase their Speed or decrease Ambipom/Aipom's Speed with the use of their abilities
- Something that can OHKO both Pokemon or Protect + Toxic stall them before both Pokemon setup Agility
- Attacking moves with priority or Quick Claw
- Pokemon with Steadfast or Inner Focus
- PP stallers
