While there admittedly is no evasion clause at Nintendo tournaments, the effectiveness of these hax items is reduced due to the increased opportunities to hit a Pokemon with two Pokemon attacking and the prevalence of multi hit moves a la Explosion, Heat Wave, Surf, and Earthquake. As you stated, DD probably wasn't the best choice of move in a metagame where battles are much swifter and the margin for error is less.

Still, you're pretty good, and it'd be cool if you hung around Smogon and joined us.
