PokéBase - Pokémon Q&A

So, this question started with a story...
A long time ago, I was playing Pokemon Diamond and I came across a Skuntank. I attacked it and it didn't faint, but then it used Memento and died.
The End

So I basically thought "how the heck could that move be useful?"

It's normally really bad, but if it's used correctly, it's super useful

Just look at one of Pimpnite's epic sweeps

Hope I helped!

Its a really bad move, but I can think of two reasons it might be used.

  1. Youre at low health and your Pokémon could die in another hit. Use memento to give the next Pokémon a boost (to help it defeat the opponent)
  2. You don't understand the move.

Basically, it's still a really bad move and not worth wasting a moveslot for.

Actually, Memento can be a pretty good move on certain Pokemon (ex: Uxie , Dugtrio )
In what way? I could add it in, but i havent seen anything of people saying it was useful for them
@Sapphire Thanks!
@MechSteelix If you have ideas you should answer
You seriously don't know what memento does, do you? It lowers Attack and Special Attack by 2 stages at the cost of your life.
Sorry, i knew what it was but i wrote it incorrectly
By "giving the next Pokémon a boost" i meant that it gives the next Pokémon an advantage
By saying that, that is how you use it strategically, either use it when about to die or use a weak guy with focus sash.
