A strategy called 'SafeSwag' involves a support Pokémon using Safeguard, to protect their team from status effects - Burn, Poison, Frozen, Sleep, Paralysed... and Confusion. To finish SafeSwag, the support Pokémon uses Swagger on its ally, raising their Attack by 2 stages (doubling their Attack) - and Safeguard stops them from getting confused. Now they're a real threat.
But what if that's not enough? What if I want ultimate power? The solution is simple.
Simple. It's an ability that doubles stat stage modifications. You see where this is going now, don't you? If a Simple Pokémon is buffed with SafeSwag, their Attack is raised by 4 stages (tripling their Attack stat!), which makes them a giant force to be reckoned with. And don't even get me started on using Simple Beam on Slaking! (although this takes significantly longer, as while Slaking has Truant, it can't be hit by Simple Beam)
Along with a good Speed Boost -> Baton Pass strategy, Simple SafeSwag is one way to make your Pokémon an unstoppable force! An unstoppable force that can be stopped by Haze or Clear Smog, indeed, but it's still threatening!
Until next time...
