how to kill ferrigatr,steelix, tyranitar or any other big bastard pokémon with a lot of HP.
 
The answer is : Missdreavus
 
lets take a look at missdreavus status:
 
type, psychic
50HP
1 PSY, sleepy eyes: the defending pokémon is asleep
3 PSY, parish song: if the defending pokémon is asleep and was attacked by sleepy eyes in your last turn, that pokémon is knocked out.
weakness, none
resistance, fighting
retreat, 1
 
here's the deal first u use sleepy eyes to stall a little bit.
when u have 3 psy energies attached to missdreavus, u can use parish song.
 
the good news is that the pokémon is automaticly dead, nothing could prevent it from dying, not even focusband.
 
focusband requires that the pokemon gets damage.
 
you probably start thinking, what if the defending pokémon awakens ?
there for we have the trainer sleep! :
the card only says that it should be asleep and attacked by sleepy eyes first before u can make him faint.
it doesn't say it should still be asleep by sleepy eyes.
 
if the oppenents pokemon is awake use sleep!
okay, you'll have to flip, but if you flip heads (s)he's a sleep.
because you attacked with sleepy eyes in your last turn,
you have done everything that is required and that means the defending pokémon is dead.
 
note: don't forget that players have to flip if the defending pokémon is asleep BEFORE drawing a card.
lots of people forget this, you wouldn't forgive yourself if this little thing would stop you from beating ferralligatr, right?
