How would you use the item "ring target" to your advantage?

Question

I got the item ring target but apparently all its good for is enabling your pokemon to be hit by a otherwise uneffective move. The lady you get it from says its hard to use. Anyone know a good way to use it?

Answer 1

You can trick it on to another opponent, then use a move that normally wouldn't hit it, ex. Earthquake on Gengar.

Smart one,limeknight!

It would also work with Heal Pulse on a teammate like Gengar. But then of course, your teammate is susceptible to moves like Earthquake.

Answer 2

This will only work in a double battle.
