Why drive a TRUK when you can saunter in with a pachyderm?
You can also say this is "Riding the Dragon" but don't read too much into that.
2 magikarp
2 gyarados
4 phanpy sw
4 donphan sw
-- 12
3 great ball
2 hamana's
4 celio's
2 windstorm
2 oak's visit or island hermit (I like both)
2 steven's or prof. birch (I like both)
1 copycat
1 tgw
1 oak's research
4 castaway
4 memory berry
2 switch
2 warp point
1 ssu
2 night maintenance
-- 33
3 water
6 fighting
2 multi
2 dre
2 scramble
-- 15
STRATEGY: Set up the elephant as soon as possible for the disruptive 40+Rapid Spin. This causes chaos for Blissey, but also Electrode, Electivire, and Raichu, since Donphan is resistant to Lightning. This Resistance to Lightning also covers Gyarados' Weakness.
Once set up, you can use Donphan's 100hp, Phanpy's Rage, and Memory Berry to good effect. This goes well with Gyarados, which does the same thing, only without the Berry. You run 3 Windstorm to help Gyarados, but Memory Berry can work for the Dragon also.
Switch and Warp Point are both in line with Donphan's disorientation, and Gyarados' huge retreat cost. The single SSU can be used to scoop up that hurting Gyarados, but you might just as easily add another Night Maintenance.
The different Energies won't matter if using only Rage attacks, or Donphan mostly, but it'll be good to have Water in case you try to build Gyarados, or use Dragon Rage. Scramble will probably be necessary since damage is a big part of the plan. In fact, it may be preferable to have 4 Scramble. I'm not sure yet.
The big risk is the Magikarp, but there are 9 ways to get a 2nd Pokemon on T2, not including 7 more Draw/Rotate.
Ideas or comments?
