0)Get SR and other hazards out
1) Give something Entrainment
2) Predict what they'll switch to, if they will switch. Ie, if they have Charaizard in their party that's the obvious choice
3) On the turn they will switch, send in something that can badly hurt or wall what they will send in, ie you'd want something like Garchomp to handle Charizard
4) They will either switch again out of fear, or stay in hoping to survive a hit. With Charizard against Charchomp, it's almost a guarantee that they will switch (unless it's one of those weird defensive ones). Use a move that would be a good option against the one already out and the one that may come in. Ie, if they might switch to a Landorus, use Stone Edge, since it's good against Char and Lando
That's basically it. It's a weird thing to do though, and the Durant with Truant kind of can't do anything else...
