LURE and KILL?Lol Curtains and bluemon. HP Ice Terrakion is a perfect example of a strategy called lure-and-kill. It's called removing the #1 Counter to Terrakion to break through the opponent's team's defense. It helps in keeping your momentum, not being forced to switch out. Switching out to Rotom-W doesn't solve the problem of Gliscor walling Terrakion all day thanks to Poison Heal's ridiculous recovery. If Rotom-W comes in Gliscor switches, and walls Terrakion ad infinitum.
Give Terrakion HP Ice, and in an instant, there is nothing in the opponents team that can wall Terrakion. It has just become one of the most dangerous wall breaker / sweeper. This lure-and-kill strategy also helps to precisely wear out that 1 common counter for your other sweepers to take advantage. A Gliscor after stuffing an HP Ice wont be walling Excadrill too well, for example.
I hope you guys could understand this crucial battling concept. Otherwise, the amount of monsters you can use effectively would be restricted.
i have a better idea. This is way better than hp ice lure.
bluemon sent out terrakion
Terrakion is floating on a baloon
the foe's heatran used earthpower
it did not affect bluemon's terrakion
Now we lure gliscor in right?
bluemon called terrakion back,
bluemon sent out wobbuffet
the opponent called heatran back,
the opponent sent out gliscor
Its trapped. now we do stuff
gliscor used swords dance
wobbuffet used encore.
After +6 boost, earthquake does about half. Just counter
What if it taunts you? Just switch out to a special attacker to scare it. Yea. That’s all that’s needed
What if it subs? Encore. Then switch out, and set up freely
What if it protects? Just do stuff again.
