Yeah, they do. Lowering defense can be really useful against higher levels, and lowering attack will make it harder for them to kill you.
Well, they're more helpful out of battle. If you've only lost 60HP you lose a quarter of the item rather than over half from the 200 heal.
It isn't really worth it to use swagger right?
Can I enable a double-battle on Shoddy Battle? There's nothing in the list of rules/clauses for it.
It's just like giving them a swords dance though, and sometimes they might have something that'll cure their confusion
Swords dance spikes their attacks up by 5 or 3 points.I don't see why you are soo afraid of that.It's a good confuser though. It never failed me.
Swords Dance "sharply" raises their attack (by 2 levels). Each level is +50% damage modifier. So one Swords Dance is 100% + 50% + 50%, or 200% damage. If you don't think double damage is a lot then you're even worse than I thought you were.
That is why you train pokemon. To not get KO'd easily. Even drake's altaria didn't do jack stuff to me , even with 3 sword dances.
1) Drake's Altaria doesn't have Swords Dance.2) It's only level 54.3) Learn to multiplayer. In-game trainers suck.
