Most people believe that a high level Pokemon can completely destroy a level 1 Pokemon. This article will show you how it is possible to beat any Pokemon with a level 1 Rattata under the right circumstances. Follow these guidelines carefully to achieve victory and humiliate your opponents.
Steps
Step 1. Give your Rattata a Focus Scarf
Step 2. Start the fight with your opponent
Step 3. Start the fight with the Comeback move
Your opponent will attack you, but since your Rattata has a Focus Scarf, he will not be defeated and will have 1 VP left. Comeback makes your opponent's HP equal to those of your Pokemon. The difference will be subtracted from the target's HP, which will be increased to 1.
Step 4. Use Quick Attack
Since Quick Attack is a +1 priority move, it will hit before almost any other move. This will allow you to inflict the last blow on your opponent and defeat him, making you win the battle.
Warnings
- Be careful if your opponent uses moves that can cause negative states, reduce the opponent's stats, or increase their own. They can ruin your plan.
- Moves that deal damage each turn (such as Storm or Hail) can counter the effect of Focus Scarf. This effect is also replicated by the abilities of some Pokemon such as Tyranitar, Hippowdon or Abomasnow.
- Embargo prevents the opponent from using the items and will render your Focus Scarf useless.
- Ghost-type Pokemon are immune to Normal and Fighting-type attacks, which makes the Coming and Quick Attack moves useless. Note: If Rattata has the Scrappy ability she will still be able to use Comeback on a Ghost-type Pokemon.
- Watch out for moves that cause items held by Pokemon to lose effect!
- This strategy won't work if your opponent doesn't start the fight with an offensive move.
