      That way, a Truant Durant can be slightly better, being able to avoid being hit for 2-3 turns rather than 1-2.
      Of course, only slightly, cuz a competent opponent can just setup or use Earthquake or something.

      You unfortunately can't skill swap it, if it were that easy it would be broken so they thought ahead with that one. Doesn't mean there are no more convoluted and difficult to pull of ways of doing it though. You can use the trace method for opponents and the entertainment method for double battles. You can get sturdy on it with mummy iirc.

    Well, in Mew's defence, it IS the cutest Pokemon. Well, that's debatable I guess, but it's definitely one of the cuter Pokemon. You figure that if Pokemon were real, it would work quite often as a defence mechanism (since while Mew is quite strong, it doesn't really seem very keen on actually fighting). It can also use transform, so presumably it could alter its pheromones to work on its target, regardless of its gender.
    It's one of those cases where something logically should work, but doesn't due to arbitrary game mechanics.

      There are moves like transform or guard swap that actually make Def/spdef matter, hence why it doesn't just have 1/1/1 + offense/speed. HP is ok since the guard swaps don't care about HP and transform doesn't take HP into account.

    I understand Mew learning Attract since, since it can typically learn ANY move that can be taught VIA TM or Move Tutor, provided the move isn't something super specific like the Starter Exclusives or Draco Meteor, but Attract is a TM in most games... so it makes sense that such an oversight could happen

    Corrections:
    Shadow Tag does not work on other pokemon with Shadow Tag, but Mean Look does! Therefore, if you're facing a Shadow Tag pokemon, you can still trap it using Mean Look.
    If a pokemon with a super-weather ability faints or is switched out, that super-weather disappears, but other super-weathers aren't set up automatically, therefore allowing a super-weather-pokemon to be on the field without a super-weather, which allows Sunny Day or Rain Dance to be used.

      J B substitute deals 25% of the users hp, shedinja has 1 hp, therefore shedinja will instantly die when he uses it. As for rest I’m assuming they just had insomnia or something

    For Slaking using The Normal Stab Ultralaser, because the turn when Slaking rest from Ultralaser, is also the turn who he does nothing, so Ultralaser is the best move for Slaking.

    In a double battle, you can get a truant pokemon and something that knows an ability switching move and then you can have an op non-truant slaking
