Ring target work on dark type immunity for prankster?

Aug. 26, 2019

here’s the meme set I’m running

prankster meowstic with assist+floatzel wiht switcheroo and ring target

idea is if a dark type (immune to prankster status move, in this case meowstic’s assist) switch in, I use floatzel and switcheroo and give it ring target. Is this viable?

I see that someone on Smogon already answered your question, but I want to put that information here as well as Smogon in case someone reads this in the future.

Ring Target does not let Dark-types be hit by Prankster moves. Ring Target only affects type immunities like Thunderbolt into Ground-type; you can’t burn a Ring Target Fire-type Pokemon with Will-o-Wisp, as another example.
