How does King's Rock work with Me First?

Nov. 17, 2016

So i’m thinking about running Me First Accelgor with King’s Rock. If the opponent uses a contact move but I use Me First, do I get a chance to flinch them before they attack me? Like, if they use a contact move, I use Me First, can I flinch them and stop them from attacking and just pretty much steal their move?

I’ll test this by using a team of 6 Accelgors versus 6 Tangrowth’s with constrict and see what happens. Before actually doing this, I’m gonna guess that it’ll work. Eventually.

Good luck developing a strategy with this though. It is rather hard to use king’s rock effectively. I’d recommend giving that Accelgor Water Shuriken as well. Hope this helps :)
