This was a good one. :D

With freeze you could probably defrost faster than waking up, which seems to never happen or your dead by then. Could always switch in a fire move, but then again that depends on what is frozen as if could die anyways. If your asleep, unless its rest talker its as good a dead with the kind of damage Pokemon can do to you in two turns alone in this gen.

Your more than welcome to run tests and come up with your own statistics, all I can give is an opinion as everything boils down to probability.

uhh no cuz a freeze pretty much makes a pokemon useless, but a crit against a snorlax doesn't matter at all

[SpikeRazzor]

Your confusing Freeze with Sleep. Freeze ment death in the last few gens, but now a days you can be defrosted right away quiet often. Personally I've only been frozen longer than two turns maybe once or twice.

[SunsetofMana]

That's you...I've been commonly frozen for 3-4 turns, which usually spells out death

you can't rationalize probability with your own personal record of statistics that may have also been opinionated

[szheusshiku]

lol...what's with the lineup of all water pokemon? grassknot just decimated his entire team.

[Mosquitox216]

You mean her. Grace Beck is a girl.

[HellsJayBells]

clearly Gracie had a Rain dance team and so did Tsuji. This was coincidental. Neither of them used rain dance so that they didn't give the advantage to the other side. The Slowking with flamethrower, or the ludicolo with ice beam would usually take out any grass types with grass attacks. And it wasn't the entire team, only half of it.

[SunsetofMana]

Tsuji's team was anti rain...

[LuxrayX]

Wait a minute... I thought that only berries 1-60 were allowed to be used in the tournament. How come the officials made it so that this competitor can use a Custap Berry?

[DontRunWithScizors]

They changed the rules for Worlds.

[LuxrayX]

Hmm... Very intresting. Now I wonder if they're goin' to do the same for next year. But until the time comes, there's loads of time to get even better for next year's tourney, as well as predicting what people are going to use. ;)
