Is Evasiveness viable in Nat Dex AG?

Dec. 9, 2020

A couple times, I ran into Smeargles with Double Team (or minimize, I don’t remember) and Spore. It made it annoying and hard to hit my foes, but just how viable are moves like minimize, Double Team, or other Evasion raising moves?

Not viable, especially on frailer Pokemon. Sure, you may get some dodges, but eventually they will hit you. I use minimize on my baton pass smeargle, but it has to be passed. It more luck than anything, and is very unreliable, as well as taking luck to setupcommented 6 hours ago by ☆SleepyDreepy☆

Yeah, it requires luck, but more importantly its not viable, since:

So for these reason, evasiveness is basically futile and hence not be taken as a huge concern due to people ready for it (at high ladder).

Hope this helps.
