How to use unevolved Pokémon in competitive battle

Trick Room

Many unevolved Pokémon that are usable in competitive battle have decent offensive stats, but more often than not lack the speed to effectively compete. While the usage of Ninjask's Baton Pass can help with this very greatly, Trick Room is often a quicker and more reliable method.

An easy way to set up Trick Room is to use an unevolved Pokémon with Trick Room and Destiny Bond, preferably at level 1, holding a Focus Sash. The basis for this is simple: Foe uses attack, you hold on with Focus Sash, use Trick Room, then use Destiny Bond and take out the opponent. The only unevolved Pokémon that can utilize this strategy are Duskull, Shuppet, and Gastly.

After Trick Room is set up, you have 4 turns in which to sweep. The best Trick Room sweeper is Munchlax, given that its base 5 Speed stat is tied with Shuckle's for the lowest speed in history (nothing can outspeed it in Trick Room, in other words).
