Here's a good strategy for people who play dodrio, granburu, or other "Rage
attack"  pokemon.  If he's about to be knocked out, attach a spirit headband,
so after they attack, you have 10 HP left.   Attach a Gold acorn to that
pokemon, then use rage.  It removes 40 damage only if you have 40 damage on
it or more, after you attack. so it gets dodrio, etc.  out of that danger
zone of 10 HP. The same principal with flail for Kingler, etc.  If you play
with gyrados and your stuck with a base magikarp cuz' you don't have any
rocket,  use a plain acorn.  it removes 2 damage counters, which is the max a
base magikarp can have on it.
