What about Ariados, it gets both Toxic spikes AND sticky web? Maybe not the best pokemon, but it is the only one to get both. Overall though, Mawil went from being a pokemon no one used, to a powerful physical behemoth of Fairy death.

There are already IS a schism, if you could not tell.

Defog, not haze, though haze is also useful against sweepers.

LOLOLOLOL. Talonflame has PRIORITY Brave Bird, that alone makes it a great. It is basically a physical Moltres with a 120 STAB priority, please to Arceus explain how that is bad. Also, FEW pokemon are really all that bad, some might be overshadowed, but that is different then being bad. Look...

The Entirety of competitive pokemon is a glorified combination guesswork and luck in a huge amount of ways.

The other Person is almost definitely going to predict you switching out and go for SD, MEtagross then Ko's with Earthquake. True, it is a gamble based on prediction, but so is the rest of pokemon anyway.

Then you realise Blaziken faints to basically any neutral or higher attack coming from any decently strong pokemon, and anyone stupid enough to switch when it is obviously going to SD deserves to get sweeped.

That is still better than the offensive movepools that most electric types get.

Yeah, its called the World of pokemon........... Please don't kill me:)

Nintendo does have balance, just not for what the 6v6 metagame. Nintendo balances the game for the stuff that they actually care about, 3 v 3 singles and 4v4 doubles. I also laugh at anyone who says Rocks are balance in anyway. The Reason Smogon existed was to help create a metagame where there...

all I saw was a guy getting outplayed, the Crobat with defog had nothing to do with that. Rapid spin would have done the same thing, just Crobat is cooler than most spinners :) Also, remember that Defog gets rid of you own hazards as well, which is something that i can see many on here REFUSING...

How does it stop defensive play, many pokemon have their own move to recover HP, and then there are items like Rocky helmet, Red card, some berries, etc that can help defensive play. Just because you just want leftovers on everything and think that it is the ONLY way to play stall does not make...

There is also the fact it has not changed in rules and choices at all, Pokemon get new pokemon, moves, abilities, items, etc every couple of years

Half of those guys have a healing move anyway and Rest is now viable again thanks thanks to Nintendo finally getting rid of that stupid sleep reset. Actually it is a decent argument, because most people play to have fun, Pokemon would not exist anymore if people did not think it was fun.

remember also, Breloom also got a HUGE buff this gen for just being Grass type, being immune to all form of spore attacks is awesome.

because it might have been the only way to do so without requiring you to have 2 3DSs (which would cost a lot more) or a friend who also happens to have an 3ds. be happy they are not making you pay $100 in DLC or something.

Would a Rest/talk set work? Rest, sleep talk, Growth, and some attacking move?

some people are against the focus on so few pokemon for no real reason other than someone basically telling them they are the only ones worth using (which is false), and are against it. The other stuff is just part of all competitive pokemon. lol, a mod who actually admits the Smogon stuff...

Nidoking does not get Gunk shot. I am happy about Pidgeot getting that speed boost to 101 base speed, it finally gives peopel a reason to use him over the other normal/flying types when you combine that with his slightly better bulk than them.

An item clause would get people to have a more variety in movesets and strategy, for Shell bell is actually not that bad of an item, but no one uses it because it is not 100% reliable all the time even though it actually is very useful for bulky offense. The Many berries would also be used more...
