Guide
So, here’s how I would play it.
First off, don’t get into 1v1s with Pokémon like Zeraora, no matter how tempting it might be. Standard advice, I know, but DON’T get into 1v1s with the electric furry w/ this build, NO MATTER HOW HIGH YOUR LEVEL MAY BE COMPARED TO THEM. THEY WILL DELETE YOU FROM EXISTENCE. /hj
Second, dealing damage will be the reason you will play this. DPS A9 is more straightforward than support A9, so just attack opponents like there’s no tomorrow until your target is dead. I would recommend going with an ally that can heal you so you can stay alive for longer. (Preferably ones that live for healing like Pollen Puff+Cotton Guard cotton grandma.)
Third things third, this build mostly works against fragile Attackers. I suggest taking out opposing Pokémon like The Amazing Ninja Frog and that stupid electric rat that ults every 2 seconds first before moving onto tankier characters.
Last, but not least, make sure you put effort when you play this build! This applies to all builds, not just this one. Just a heads-up for 6-year-old Potionzard users!
((TL;DR: Why you should play DPS A9 using unorthodox Pokémon names.))
