087 Pokemon Battle: JMTL vs. Combo

When people think of annoyer-type Pokemon, one such Pokemon could be Jirachi and its Serene Grace. With access to Body Slam (from the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald generation) and Thunder Wave, there comes a question about which one to use, as having both would take up a potentially more valuable spot. Thunder Wave hits 100% of the time, but Ground types, Motor Drive, and Volt Absorb Pokemon are not paralyzed. Body Slam offers damage output with 100% accuracy, paralyzes 60% of the time thanks to Serene Grace, and can hit the aforementioned Pokemon, but not Ghost types. I wonder if a Grass-type entry hazard which causes paralysis would be too broken. Or, maybe combine Thunder Wave and Body Slam into one move and call it something neat, like Volt Tackle.

Oh, wait...

Combo accepted my open request to try out a new team which I had been thinking about for a while. The play style is intended to be a bit slower than usual. Will I keep this team? That may be answered when I battle again.

Confuse ray gengar that's different. I like it :)

Hey is that the togekiss set I gave you (aka my Infidel V3 set)?

Ouch Tough loss...

I'm still wondering why you left vaporeon in on that roserade

@shockhead2009dsi Yes, that's the Togekiss. Unfortunately, its debut on my channel wasn't what I had intended. Vaporeon didn't switch out because I was predicting (incorrectly) a repeat of Stun Spore on my switch-in, and I have no status absorbers, Nature Cure, Heal Bell, or Aromatherapy.
