Opportunist: Ban

Proud of you guys :psyglad:

I simply used this https://pokepast.es/0d9e8f9c93cc9ecb Enjoy! Sorry it's a type of "stall Pokémon" :psysad:

Sorry to double post :psynervous: I believe Opportunist should be banned. I echo reasons given here by other's previously. Opportunist in the meta greatly limits the viable Abilities one can select from (at least to reach the goal of top of the ladder). I used double Unaware out of preference...

I agree quickbanning is a bit much when Unaware will certainly be strong with or without Opportunist in the meta :smogduck:

My peak so far, post Commander ban: Mostly with Bonk Stall 2: https://pokepast.es/52a4386ed07aa897 Tablets of Ruin doesn't stack or I would use that over Friend Guard on Dusclops Terra-Ghost Cosmoem is cool cause it's just slightly better defensive stats than Dusclops Helps against the...

I'm sorry :psysad: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9metronomebattle-1724100009

Idk if trace+ability shield should be double activating every single turn, but it funy: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9metronomebattle-1724062585-e9mf6819pyfp90uyk7k4p4pgjeu1x3vpw another example lol https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9metronomebattle-1724087454

Okay, cool. Because my counterplay using Ring Target Inwards Out Chansey wasn't working very consistently :row: An example: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9metronomebattle-1723404344-51mgh4hiwlypo30goc0om8enu13b904pw

Well that was fun! Usage stats are gonna be hilarious. I started with the unaware+clear amulet and finished with unaware+leppa to beat opposing mirror matchups more consistently: So when we banning it? :zonger:

I agree with those above about Dondozo+Commander Might be a little too good lol. Allows easy PP stall since Tatsugiri keeps all 16 PP until Dondozo is KO'd and with Clear Amulet+Unaware it's hard to breakthrough/KO Dondozo as well. Lemme know when it's banned :worrywhirl: As for counterplay...

Any eviolite stall + fur coat seems to win 70%+ for me lol I'll make a new account and see what GXE I end at when I hit #1

Ah, my bad, I misunderstood the poll at the top of the thread. That makes sense, thank you.

ggs Ban fur coat and fluffy lol I just threw it on Bonk Stall and it's so clearly broken. Even if it wasn't, it's no doubt centralizing. Mold Breaker would become a requirement when it never has been before... Idk when I played with ice scales legal, I felt that was broken. This feels even...

I don't know anything about the back end of showdown, but my guess is that since Metronome targets it's own slot, and Ally switch placed your Gardevoir in that slot, Showdown's code thought you used Bounce on that slot. Usually you can't use bounce on yourself, and my bet would be that Showdown...

The team looks good. Necturna's bulk+typing seems like a good fit for weakness policy on the team. I just think IO Chansey isn't as consistent as some of the other staples in the meta like Unaware Eviolite Stall or Flower Veil.

Doing alright with a regieleki team. Here's the pokepaste: https://pokepast.es/fd8167f391a5fb3f Basically taunt and get up hazards, use your two comatose sleep talk sets to spread damage and net some KOs and forfeits, then try to get into a checkmate situation with the No Guard or Wonder...

Alphabet Cup, Pure Hackmons, Shared Power, Partners in Crime

Don't feel so bad! I first posted the gimmick in October so the set is technically way older than 16 days :smogduck: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/metronome-battles.3632075/page-24#post-8615048

Ban or not ban w/e. I'm just happy to be playing Chimera 1v1 again :psyglad: Broke 1500 so that's cool: Nvm it's not cool I cheated and used trick :psysad:
