Title: Anyone try this?
Post by: Jcbklyn707 on April 19, 2013, 11:43:05 pm
1. Set up entry hazards. (Stealth Rock, Spikes, Toxic Spikes)

2. Send out Prankster Riolu.

3. Roar

4. Copycat spam and rack up the damage (which will copy the last move used, including Roar, and will always have +1 priority due to Prankster)

Literally the only way to stop this is with Protect, Soundproof, Suction Cups, or other priority moves. I just now discovered this was a thing.

I just saw this in NU, an I had no idea what was happening until it did it like a few times.

This is just like the Sturdy Aron thing...

I heard about this a while back on Smogon.

but yeah it seems quite funny and cool, I'd like to see it in action.  Maybe you could try it and posts result here?

I did try it on one of my friends, he couldn't counter it because he didn't have any Suction Cups. xD

I'm more interested in trying out different Copycat users, like Mr. Mime and Lopunny because its actually a very nice move.

I do have a Jolly DW Riolu, so I may try it, someday.
