Hi. I was wondering if somebody could help me with these two moves: Taunt and Torment .

I know that Taunt forces the opponent to attack you for two turns, and I've seen this move on many movesets. However, I don't quite understand fully how one could use this move in battle?

Also, I was interested in the move Torment (Edit: Imprison, not Torment), which prevents your opponent from using any move you already have on your pokemon. For example, if I had Imprison on a Crobat that knew Shadowball and Aerial Ace, then the opposing pokemon would not be able to use these two moves. Is there any way to use Torment competivetely in battle?

This is kind of a discussion, I guess... meh.



Oops, I was thinking of Imprison afterall... thank you for pointing that out. Torment still sounds interesting though... Is there any uses for it?
