Honestly, through experience, I'm pretty sure opponents in the battle tower do not switch Pokemon because they're not programmed to be smart enough to switch out to a counter to said Pokemon. ^_^

crit hit sequence
I have never seen anybody list the following move set and I was wondering if it was worth while thinking about.
1. focus energy
2. baton pass to a pokemon with superluck
3. use move like nightslash that has high crit hit rate.
if calcuations are correct and most of the time I am wrong that tells me crit hit 50% of the time. Right???
complete nube so please tell me if i am wasting our time

Aromatherapy and Trick is not illegal on Clefable if you want to use it, but it can only obtain both moves in HeartGold/SoulSilver. Celebi is another Pokemon that comes to mind who can Heal Bell + Trick.
@poccil & SatiSuicune
Thanks for the replies. I am planning on using Trick on the battle tower then maybe spam Calm Mind while the opponent is struggling with one move.
@Fatecrashers
Celebi sounds nice. Even though it can't enter the battle tower I am sure it will do good online. Thanks a bunch.

Ok so like infernape 1 has 24 hp 25 spd and a hidden power of 40. Not so good but better spd and health for life orb I would assume but infernape 2 has 8 hp 22 spd but a hidden power of 62. Which do I keep n ya I know those aren't the best but it's what I got.
Not unless they also happen to be egg moves.
Try Mix-Nite.
From main site:
Dragonite @ Life Orb
116 Att/192 Sp Att/200 Speed
Superpower | Draco Meteor | Flamethrower | Roost/Thunderbolt
Maybe change up the EVs since yours is Hasty.
They only switch under rare circumstances, like when they have no moves that can hit you (think Shedinja). I've seen them use Baton Pass on occasion, but other than those two things I can't think of anything.
158 Atk / 252 SAtk / 100 Spd... ?
The closest a Hasty Dragonite can get to a Rash Dragonite would be 116 Attack 28 Defense 112 Speed 252 Special Attack, but that spread would have a bit lower Defense, higher Special Defense, and lower Special Attack.
Opponents in the Frontier will occasionally switch, but the only times I've seen them do it are when both 1) your Pokemon resists/takes minimal damage from their entire set (like if you have +6 SpDef against a special attacker, and they don't have any super effective moves), and 2) they have a Pokemon that resists/is immune to the last move you hit them with (it may only be immunity). That means that you have to have used an attacking move on the previous turn for there to be any chance of the CPU switching out (I believe). I'm pretty sure Shedinja is an exception; the AI will switch out of Shedinja, even if you didn't attack them. I haven't tested Shedinja out myself, though.
How Are u guys getting pokemon with flawless ivs such as 30/31/30/31 etc? I've bred but never got them to do that. And I still need the quoted answered if possible
Omnipresent: Have you heard of RNG? It is using the game's random number generator to make good pokemon, by ensuring that the numbers which come up are favourable. Alternatively, people often use power items and everstones and patience, if you know how the first two work.
How much do stat boosts/drops change stats by? Is one boost a 50% increase to a stat or something?
One boost boosts the stat to 150%, two to 200%, three to 250% and so on up to six to 400%. Drops are the reciprocals, so that one down is 66%, two is 50% down to 6 is 16%
Ya I breed them via items n everstone but I bet this rng thing is a better way but how efficient is it? And I still need to find out which infernape to run
Once you have learnt, it is uber efficient, and it does not take long to get flawless IVs and natures. Which Nape depends on your Moveset and team, because it is necessary to know how much you need a strong hidden power. If it is a booster, for instance, I would say it is more important to have the 62 bp one, because it has less attacks, but otherwise I would use the other because Nape needs speed and you would only use Hidden Power when it is SE, so it should be an easy OHKO or 2HKO.
