The fact that you straight up win if you stop just 1 of your opponent's pokemon from dying is what makes this so interesting, for the tourney I was trying to see if I could make it an actual legit playstyle like steel beam and court change but it's too inconsistent. Realizing that you can intentionally faint their problematic pokemon so the final one is exploitable was a eureka moment, but it still wasn't enough.

I imagine he didn't elaborate because the format seems a bit boring outside of the concept. The meta strategy says it all: you spam steel beam. The actual strategic bits were explained, but the rest was "player one clicked steel beam, player two clicked switch" for the majority of the battle. Doesn't seem like there's all that much to explain.

For those who just want the answer to the title: Alolan Sandshrew is so good in this format because it has the lowest Special Attack of any Pokémon that can learn Steel Beam. Since Steel Beam does recoil damage equal to half the user's max HP, it's a staple in this format, and Sandshrew can ensure that you don't kill your opponents faster than yourself.

Nice video, but a slight error when talking about perish song. It's still a 4 turn strat if you count the turn it's used on, when the timer doesn't tick down. Even in your video the pokemon doesn't die until turn 4 in the top left corner at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="142">2:22</a>. It takes the same amount of turns as the struggle only Charizard, both fainted on Turn 4, therefore, both are 4 turn strats. Perish song may say "Perish in 3," but it doesn't tick down the turn it's used on, so it still takes 4 turns total.
