10 Video Game Where You Can Gamble To Gain Ultimate Power (Or Lose Everything)

Although most Pokémon battles are as simple as using your enemies’ type weaknesses against them, in competitive Pokémon, coming up with more refined strategies is the key to winning.

Many competitive Pokémon players come up with special move combos to battle their opponents more effectively, and none of them are quite as dangerous as the Swagger and Foul Play strategy.

Swagger is a move that significantly raises a Pokémon’s attack stats, but it also has a 90% chance of confusing them, causing them to potentially hit themselves. Foul Play, on the other hand, is a move that uses the opponent's own attack power to deal damage against them.

Put the two together, and you can clearly see how using Swagger and Foul Play on your opponent can make them die due to their own strength. By using Swagger, the player can quickly raise the enemy’s attack to the point where a single use of Foul Play can instantly knock them out.

However, the strategy is quite risky due to its reliance on Swagger actually confusing the enemy Pokémon and preventing them from attacking.

It’s either rendering them unable to attack until you can one-shot kill them with Foul Play or giving them the strength to instantly kill you instead.
