You could probably fix that by making Groudon a Rester.I like how no good player reveals their lead combinations here. After the 2010 WCS this knowledge will probably become useless though, so I can understand that.
Okay, random lead duo here.
Groudon @ Iron Ball
Trait: Drought
- Earthquake
- Fling
- Protect
- Rock Slide
Bronzong @ Occa Berry
Trait: Levitate
- Explosion
- Iron Head
- Protect
- Trick Room
Auto-loss against DV Smeargles but everything else is handled pretty well.
With that knowledge, would Machamp targeting Smeargle with HP [Ghost] activate No Guard? And even so, is that strategy viable given any number of things that could go wrong?Yes. No Guard affects the Pokemon that Machamp is attacking along with the Pokemon that is attacking Machamp.
No Guard only affects attacks by Machamp and targeting Machamp. Targeting Smeargle will not pass on No Guard or anything like that.With that knowledge, would Machamp targeting Smeargle with HP [Ghost] activate No Guard? And even so, is that strategy viable given any number of things that could go wrong?
Ghost moves don't deal damage to normal pokes, even if they do hit, so no it would not work.With that knowledge, would Machamp targeting Smeargle with HP [Ghost] activate No Guard? And even so, is that strategy viable given any number of things that could go wrong?
