copycat riolu returns

by bikeweekforever

This strat's biggest problems are dark types, defog, gliscor and magic guard. Taunt spam, Mismagius to trap and kill darks (also walls sd gliscor), Murkrow with the berry can trap and kill clef, bullet punch on riolu to break zam's sash when its the final pokemon, then u have a sash zam of ur own to beat it 1v1. Really, you don't need to eliminate all problems before going for game, unless its a dark type. Once all dark types are gone, It won't matter if they have a magic guard pokemon since it will only be the last alive. aThis strat is less brainless and requires a lot of careful calculating to remove the specific obstacles for riolu to secure the win. Typically, you only get 1 chance to trap and kill the pokemon you need to.
