Mr. Mime discussion.

Power Swap (Att + SAtt) and Guard Swap (Def + SDef) swaps increases to stats.

Power Trick (Att + Def) swaps actual stats with the opponent. Seeing as Mr. Mime has low Att and Def, it works out.

At least, that's how I remember it working. >__>

Don't kill me if I'm wrong.

Power Trick switches your own Attack with your own Defense, nothing to do with the opponent.

What happened to the sticky on the trait topic, btw?

All the research stuff was moved into one stickied thread.

I'm pretty sure he's the only Hypnosis + Baton Pass user (fuck you nay-sayers with your Smeargle nonsense) and a decently well suited one at that.

Leafeon with Grasswhistle, Mew with Hypnosis, Drifblim with Hypnosis, Venomoth with Sleep Powder, and Spinda with Hypnosis. I was about to say Delcatty and Plusle\Minun with Sing, but that was a bit of a stretch. Leafeon still counts since it has excellent Defense.

Speaking of sleep moves + BP, it works great in combination with Substitute. Get a Sub up on a switch\status moves, sleep 'em, then BP to a sweeper. I consider Venomoth to be a key team member of my bug monotype team because BP'ing a Sub to Heracross gives it the opening it needs to strike hard with CB'd hits.
