Is Topsy-Turvy a good move?
Apr. 27, 2014I’m going to use a Malamar soon and I was wondering if Topsy-Turvy was really a good move to use. It just seems like you’d kind of need the perfect conditions for it so I wasn’t too sure about it.

It’s works great getting rid of Belly Drummers, Swords Dancers, Power-Up Punchers, Stockpilers, Cotton Guarders, Terrakion-being-Beat-Up-by-Weavile-ers, Dragon Dancers, Speed Boosters, you name it.
To put it into one sentence, basically anything that’s used for stat boosts is weak to this.
However, I wouldn’t recommend it with Swagger, as the 2x Attack does indeed make your opponent do extra damage to itself. For that reason, Swagger has been banned to Übers on Showdown, from what I’ve heard. Yes, 2x Attack does make your own Pokémon vulnerable, but inverting it kinda' defeats the purpose of Swagger.
It can be. If your malamar carries swagger then if you use topsy turvy then your opponents attack will be lowered instead of risen. So it might be useful sometimes, others it may not. Hope I helped!
