+ annihilape users generally do not respect surf (which is reasonable) + and therefore eat the damage, and then allow their shadow balls to be + caught on umbreon, instantly losing the lead and often forcing a + switch. +because it is not terribly useful to pair a counter to dark with a + counter user (that already beats umbreon, but only slighly), the + result is usually advantageous. +this is hardly an excellent play, but it is very funny that i have + pulled it as many times as i have, to the extent that i now actively + look out fur the oppurrtunity. + +[PvPoke]: + https://pvpoke.com +[HNISILU]: + https://twitter.com/LuxxArt/status/1731524063787438207
