Just be aware that gimmicks will only work a few times on the same opponents.

Or only once on a really clever opponent...

On another note, I've fought FOUR opponents this month in the Uber tier that use the "Kyorge - Ferrothorn - Palkia - Giratina" combination. Seriosly people...? V-Create (and Draco Meteor) Rayquaza can handle all those but Kyorge (not combined, of course, especially because the two moves I listed reduce stats).

lol I'm just doing this for the laughs. It's so funny to see Rattata own someone! xD

Ghost-type Pokemon love F.E.A.R. >:D Though I suppose Rough Skin might have a similar effect?

I haven't even used F.E.A.R on Rattata.

Also, against a Ghost-type I have my Riolu and if it survives from that, the damage he has lost from Stealth Rocks/Spikes/Toxic Spikes/Leech Seed gives Rattata an easy opportunity to Sucker Punch the ghost and win.

You specifically mentioned Rattata; I thought you were referring to the tactic in general: Endeavor, commonly used by Rattata, does not affect Ghost-types.

Otherwise: Gengar, which has Levitate as well, negates Spikes and Toxic Spikes (additionally, Gengar can learn Toxic); using Roar to switch the opponent negates Leech Seed and grants a chance for the opponent to counter with a priority move, if they have one.
In some cases, although I doubt this, the opponent may have a Pokemon with Ingrain (in, as an example, a Smeargle-chain with Abomasnow).

I haven't really had much trouble with that from my opponents... but my computer often doesn't like it when I go on Pokemon Showdown in the first place... for some reason, it's not exactly computer-friendly. :P

I do know that strategy. I could use it with my Rattata if I wanted to, but I personally think it's a lame strategy. I like creating something original or improve someone's work.

I've had two cases of that: I sent out a Xatu, then Blaziken. Blaziken used Stealth Rock and due to Xatu's Magic Bounce, it bounced back the rocks to their side and I used psychic, nearly KO'ing their Blaziken. Then they quit.

The second one was after I managed to set up Sigilyph with Cosmic Power and abused Roost to heal itself, and after Psycho Shifting a burn from my Flame Orb to their Poochyena (which is when I abused Roost to heal myself), they just quit. I understood I had a garaunteed win, but still, accept your loss in dignity...

Hahaha! I should've posted the video of what happened to me... except I had Gorebyss, so I could handle my opponent's Politoed a little better.

Thanks. For a moment there I was worried, though. I almost needed to blow you.
