    I'm sorry, I just replied to each post individually rather than putting them all into one. I won't do it anymore That's okay, I'm glad it's closed actually. Thanks
  2. Banning sandstorm teams?

    I'm just showing how easily Snover is dealt with. I doubt that a simply play like that could stop sand. I never said this was good enough to prove my point. I actually did it because Electrolyte suggested showing some replays, but I agree that they might not have been specifically what he asked...
  3. Banning sandstorm teams?

    Not necessarily, if both sides lead with weather inducers then Sandstorm will be up rather than Hail. On top of that, it'd take a good prediction to actually 2HKO Pawniard. Plus on the second HP fire, you'd get an easy switch into Hippo to get rocks up and switch initiative. My point is...
  4. Banning sandstorm teams?

    Snover will never wall a well constructed sand team. It seems a lot of people base their ideas on sand teams on experiences they have had against people who run sand with no idea how to deal with Snover. Snovers ability to participate in the game is completely stopped by being forced to switch...
  5. Banning sandstorm teams?

    Are you actually joking? Snover does not 2HKO the entire metagame hahahah! It only has a measly 12.11% to 2HKO Pawniard. Maybe do some research before you jump to conclusions. The eviolite set? You must be kidding me. After 2 switch ins to stealth rocks it gets KO'd by Drilbur which out...
  6. Banning sandstorm teams?

    To me, all this sounds like is that you use a sandstorm team and you're defensive over it's legitimacy. Essentially all your post is, is recycled points about Snover defense in a poorly constructed manner of which have already been dealt with. Hippo is a reliable enough stealth rock layer to...
  7. Banning sandstorm teams?

    1. Electrolyte... I've reached higher in the ladder than you have (I don't mean to insult you I'm just pointing this out), I've played people who use sandstorm teams to good effect and they gave me trouble even with Snover. 2. No because there are players that are not that bad as to make...
  8. Banning sandstorm teams?

    I like the way you've put that and I agree entirely. A lot of the better players are blinded by self righteous ignorance. Definitely isn't a good pokémon when you think about it, It's very easily stopped.
  9. Banning sandstorm teams?

    That's not true, what so ever. Snover isn't actually a good enough pokémon to be a solid counter for sand teams. With very little designation it is rendered useless, (refer to Vs. Anothertime). Snover cannot switch in and out as much as Hippo and cannot easily switch into Drilbur either for that...
  10. Banning sandstorm teams?

    I've spent the a bit of time testing a rather generic sand team in response to this. I've played 25 games using this team under the name "Disguisedlog" which took me an hour or two. Out of the 25 games played, I lost 2. One due to confusion hax Murkrow shenanigans along with missing 3 rock...
  11. Banning sandstorm teams?

    Thank you for recognising this, I'm doing the same thing. So far I haven't lost and I've played around 5-10 games, against some fairly esteemed players too.
  12. Banning sandstorm teams?

    What team are you talking about, sorry? Okay that's a fair opinion. I can understand where you're coming from but I think a lot of people tend to have this mentality that "if it can be beaten, it's fair". Which isn't necessarily the case. For example Syther has been forced out of LC, although...
  13. Banning sandstorm teams?

    Oh well I must have misunderstood. But the fact of the matter is, life orb Drilbur is very uncommon in my experience. Besides I'd consider the damage calcs given to be manipulative and too idealistic situations. In reality they can very rarely be applied in my opinion. I am not a bad...
  14. Banning sandstorm teams?

    Oh yes of course, I forgot sorry. I agree actually but I'd find it largely impractical using Magnet rise Riolu however. Yes I understand what you're saying but a lot of the time what Drilbur switches into it can take a hit from anyway.
  15. Banning sandstorm teams?

    Firstly, I'd like to apologise for accusing you of miscalculating the damage calcs. That was my error, I didn't notice the indication that Drilbur was life orbed. Okay, I have a little time now. -I think it's slightly insane to say that Meinfoo's fake out balances sand and Drilbur because...
  16. Banning sandstorm teams?

    I haven't tried this out practically, but doing damage calcs; Drilbur after a swords dance 2HKOs Riolu with Shadow claw. But Riolu only has a 61.55% chance to 3HKO Drilbur (eviolite+bulky). So lets say Drilbur misses an EQ on Riolu due to magnet rise. From that point although Riolu will get 2...
  17. Banning sandstorm teams?

    I was thinking about that actually, I agree. Not much can stop swords dance Drilbur. But I would like to point out that Riolu is 2HKO'd by Drilbur after a swords dance with Shadow Claw. Besides, if it takes magnet rise Riolu to actually stop Drilbur, then surely the pure designation and cost...
  18. Banning sandstorm teams?

    Oh hey Electrolyte. I agree that a lot of bulky physical walls can stop Drilbur to some extent. However that is why Bronzor was just an example as such. Besides the fact that a lot of these "counters" are sacrificed to actually take down Drilbur. But the real problem is how easily these...
  19. Banning sandstorm teams?

    Banning sandstorm teams? Why? Let's be honest, when we all first entered the little cup meta-game, we all went in wanting to use sets such as dragon dance Charmander to funk around on our teams. (Isn't it adorable?) You know, having a vast amount of cute pokés to play with. But in my...
