This goes to CodieKitty's misunderstanding of Odor Sleuth and Foresight. It took me a while to research, as I was trying the two moves out...

The point to Odor Sleuth and Foresight is so you can attack the monster with your original accuracy and the opponent's (or opponents' if it's double battle) evasion doesn't affect how often you hit them. Basically, in short, no matter how many times they up their evasion, they can't make you miss. Unless, of course, you use a move that has accuracy lower than 100%. Also, Foresight allows you to strike Ghost-type Pokemon with Fighting and Normal moves. I'm not sure about Odor Sleuth though, I don't usually use that move. Foresight goes well with Fighting Pokemon. Say, for example, you have a Hitmonlee and you are facing a Pikachu. You use Foresight, and Pikachu uses Double Team. Basically that move is useless. Then you use Mind Reader on Pikachu. Then to finish it off, you use Mega Kick. Well, the Pikachu goes kaput, and there is a win for you in that round.
