I had to raise something up so that I had a Dragon move just to get rid of
the Dragon trainer's Kingdra. Of course I can't remember what I chose, or
even which game. LOL
I'm an accuracy over power person too. I find that they just don't hit when
you really need them to. When you don't need it, it critically hits (any
move, especially if you are up against something rare) and faints whatever
you are trying to catch.
