These things are used nowhere near as much as they used to be (good ol' Gen 3) with the abundance of priority and weather and such. However, although not commonplace I believe they are still viable, especially Salac and to an extent Petaya/Liechi.
For example, I have been using a Petaya with my Sub+Disable Gengar on the GBU for singles. People normally just seem to think far too much about getting past disable, unknowingly helping me get a boost if I need it. Great as late game cleaner if the guys who normally bully Gengar aren't about. It has even caused a few DC's which must mean something!
So, any other thoughts on the pinch berries, or underdog sets that utilise them well?
