In double or triple battles, there are strategies employed that involve the use of Anger Point, where Pokemon such as Tauros or Primeape are partnered with Pokemon with Frost Breath or Storm Throw, both of which guarantee a critical hit.

Smogon on Anger Point

The thing about this is: Tauros needs to survive a critical hit. It has a base Sp. Def of 70 and a base HP of 75, which are both mediocre, and since it’s a sweeper, you’ll invest all its EVs in speed & Atk.

With base 110 speed, it’ll outspeed most things, but its usage will be short lived after a critical hit from an, albeit weak, STAB move. You can’t use protect on Tauros either, because then Froslass can’t hit it, you can’t give it a Focus Sash because Frost Breath might hit hard but it most likely won’t OHKO Tauros.

Additionally, there’s the speed tie between Frosslass and Tauros. What if Tauros went first, Anger Point doesn’t activate so its Attack isn’t maxed, gets hit by your opponent, then Frosslass hits it with Frost Breath, which most likely means it gets KO’d.

You can avoid the speed tie, though, by giving Froslass Jolly nature.

Unlike the Beat Up/ Justified strategy, Tauros isn’t being hit by a move it’s resistant to.

There’s so many things to consider; there would need to be some set up before this, e.g. Dual Screens.

My suggestion would be to teach Tauros Endure and Retaliate and have it hold a Sitrus Berry or maybe Leftovers. That way Froslass will still hit Tauros but you don’t have to worry about being KOed by attacks, and if Froslass gets KOed, you have a STAB Retaliate. Maybe give Froslass something like a Focus Sash or even BrightPowder aswell to increase her survival chances.
