Hey all!
I'm super excited to be co-hosting this event and I thank GWN for the opportunity to do so! As stated, you can find a basic rundown of Pokemon battling and some strategies in my signature below. I am also happy to explain/answer any questions anyone may have!

Accuracy is fine to raise.
By evasion moves, it means anything that is a move that specifically raises that one stat. For example, you would not be able to have a Pokemon with the move Double Team:
However, that isn't to say you cannot raise your evasiveness at all. You could have a Pokemon with the ability Contrary which:
So, if you use a move like Hammer Arm, which lowers your speed after use, it'll instead raise your Pokemon's speed stat.
That goes for any stat as well.
I will add though, that using status moves is risky in general because you do leave yourself potentially open to an attack if your opponent isn't either switching Pokemon or setting up themselves. So, use them wisely!
