iirc it was even a strategy used in online battles: people would have a team of 6 Blisseys (pokemon with the highest HP stat), all holding a Focus Sash (item that makes you resist any move that would’ve killed you in one hit, with 1 HP left), and all knowing Rest (move that heals all your HP and puts you to sleep)
basically, what you see in the video, except 6 times
this team was so royally annoying to fight against that people would often just forfeit immediately

Oh, this video is art
This is an amazing TIL (and also now I miss the old Pokemon games that used sprites.)
