    Default Double Battle - Unbeatable Pokemon?

    I had a thought a minute ago. There have been numerous discussions of strategies in double battles with Skill Swap, such as using it to remove a Slaking's Truant to create an absolute titan. But what about using it to give Wonder Guard to a Sableye? No type of attack can be super effective against a Sableye without the use of very rarely seen moves (as it is Ghost/Dark), so if a strategy to get that ability onto a Sableye during a battle could be used, wouldn't that make Sableye essentially unstoppable (barring a Skill Swap or Foresight from an opponent or Sableye running out of moves to use)?

    Something like that would be absolutely huge if it could be pulled off...

    I don't think Wonder Guard can be Skill Swapped. Just need someone to double check this though.

    This has been established multiple times, because it's such a sweet combo that everyone would want to try it. The answer is no: Wonder Guard cannot be Skill Swapped, nor can it be Role Played. It can be Traced, but there's no way to use Trace to get a Dark/Ghost-type with Wonder Guard. The best you can do is get a Porygon2 immune to everything but Fighting...and maybe give the Porygon2 Conversion and an Electric-type attack so that it can switch to being immune to everything but Ground...

    Ah, okay then. That would explain why it seemed too broken to have been overlooked. Thanks.

    Since my question's been answered, I suppose I'll just lock this.
