Ah, but my understanding is that Gastro Acid stopped working when the opponent switched, whereas Worry Seed worked until the battle ended or the foe used some other thing to get their ability back.

That may be true, but there is usually something more useful that could fit into that extra moveslot, but forcing a switch isn't bad either
Yeah, my only thoughts were:
-Ruin Scizor's technician (hardly worth it, I think)
-Maybe mess up some streamers (but you'd still have to turn off their weather, they just couldn't bring it back)
I dunno. I might mess around with it. It just seems really cool, is all.
The first one.

Nope. Both wear out when the Pokemon leaves the battle, so it really is useless.
I'm fairly certain that if Outrage is blocked the first turn, you aren't locked into it, but if it's blocked the second or third turn you still are and the count goes down by one.
Edit: @ raider8, do you mean if the Pokemon will always be 2HKOd or what's the probability that it will be 2HKOd?

Look at some recent warstories I suppose
Then if the minimum will hit it more than 50%, it will always 2HKO.
@ Chill, you could try copying someone elses team that's worked fairly well to get back into it.
Question! I'm thinking about EV training a Drapion now, but I can't even bother with getting a perfect Skorupi because I suck at that stuff. But either way, I want it to be a physical-attacking Acupressure using tank just about. So pretty high Defense and Special Defense but also good Attack. This is all I got so far:
Drapion @ Black Sludge
Adamant nature (I suppose)
(EVs)
-Acupressure
-Crunch?
-Poison Jab?
-?
Thanks in advance! (Oh and sorry if this post should go somewhere else, I'll move it there if so)

Did you try looking at any of the sets on the analysis? I suppose those are the only ones that are "viable" in competitive play. You should probably base it on one of those sets. I don't know if Acupressure is such a good idea, but you can give it a try.
Deoxys-D has not been tested yet as a suspect.
Any comment? And does Deoxys-S even get the time to use Spikes?@Lum Berry
252SpA/6SpD/252Spe
Timid nature
~Ice Beam
~Stealth Rock
~Taunt
~Psycho Boost
I'm trying to mimic ScarfTwo a bit with this set, but does the idea of "part lead, part revenge-killer" work? Psycho Boost actually helps with ScarfHera...
You mean like giving a ghost-resist berry and then getting hit by a Shadow Ball or something? You'd still die. It's just the overkill is half as much.
