The combination of the moves Rest + Sleep Talk also referred to as resttalk was arguably the most dominant force in generation 2 competitive Pokémon. While the move Rest got already introduced, it wasn’t as great as it was in generation 2 and this is mainly because of the introduction of the move Sleep Talk. Resttalk is used on numerous Pokémon in the gen 2 OU tier, even offensive Pokémon, with the most notable Pokémon being Snorlax, Zapdos, Raikou. So why is resttalk so good in gen 2 competitive singles?
