I must outright say no to this, respectably of course. Uproar locks the user into using it for 2-5 turns which is something to laugh at if you are the opponent. That being said, you will only have one good attacking poke.
However, you could adapt this strategy to using worry seed or skill swapping insomnia onto the poke that used rest which will give it the same outcome (it will have the insomnia ability) and wake up immediately. Plus skill swap will stop any discharge, volt absorb, motor drive combos and the like.
My overall take on this strategy is that it is gimmicky but what strategy in double battles isn't gimmicky nowadays lol
