  1. Other Stall

    Aren't levitating and flying immune to sticky web?
  2. Item Assault Vest

    Was Gurdurr even brought up in the thread? Scrafty is fully evolved by the way so no Eviolite for him.
  3. Other Item Clause

    I don't think this will force more variety into the game. It makes team building more of a hassle and promotes people into copying teams rather than making their own. I would also argue that it makes the game more predictable as you know your opponent will only have 1 pokemon with Choice Scarf...
  4. Other Evasion

    Scenario: Opponent switches in "Threat X" you switch to "Counter Y" capable of outspeeding and 2HKO your opponent whie "Threat X" uses Double Team. Your opponent starts attacking: 84% chance to get knocked out before the Double team had any effect. Your opponent keeps using Double Team until...
  5. Other Evasion

    Still Brave Bird OHKO Keldeo. Edit: Never Mind, it might miss. Even if your team wasn't a great example, Baton Pass teams would benefit from Double Team making its members more viable. But that's the only real thing it would add to the meta. I suppose most people would even consider that a bad...
  6. Other Evasion

    Double team VS pokemon that can 3HKO Hit-Hit-Hit (42.1875%) Hit-Hit-Miss-Hit (10.546875%) Hit-Miss-Hit-Hit (10.546875%) Miss-Hit-Hit-Hit (10.546875%) Hit-Hit-Miss-Miss (3.515625%) Hit-Miss-Hit-Miss (3.515625%) Miss-Hit-Hit-Miss (3.515625%) Hit-Miss-Miss (4.6875%) Miss-Hit-Miss (4.6875%)...
  7. Other Evasion

    Let's assume you can 2HKO your opponents Double Team user that got a free Double Team up on your switch in. For it to be useful you need to miss twice before killing it. In 3 moves we can see whether it was beneficial it or not. The options are Hit-Hit | Hit-Miss-Hit | Hit-Miss-Miss |...
  8. Other Evasion

    Just because you ban evasion doesn't mean you have to remove all luck based elements. Evasion is clearly unique from all other luck factors in the game. Edit: To elaborate, evasion is the only luck aspect that doesn't involve the opponent. Not everything can be paralyzed, you can't flinch...
  9. Other Evasion

    That's why bright powder should be banned under evasion clause too.
  10. Other Evasion

    Evasion is evading the move and flinching is preventing the opponent from moving for the rest of the turn. Flinching can be prevented by attacking before your opponent. You can use other moves while still evading, and so on. Edit: To clarify, just because evasion is banned because it involves...
  11. Other Evasion

    What I don't get with evasion clause is why it doesn't include everything that boost evasion, I would at least appreciate consistency. Sure Bright Powder and Acupressure are unreliable to the point it's a non-issue but they are just as uncompetitive. I see a point in with making a distinction...
  12. Other The Lack of Power Creep in Gen 6

    I don't see how mega Alakazam can revenge it unless its using Protect to mega evolve and outspeed it.
  13. Other The Lack of Power Creep in Gen 6

    You forget that mega Gengar can't trap anything on it's first try. As soon they switch in Normal Gengar you can switch to your Pursuit trapper.
  14. Other The Lack of Power Creep in Gen 6

    I don't agree with starting with Mega-Blaziken, Mega-Gengar and Mega-Scizor banned. Especially not Mega-Scizor who really isn't better at spamming Bullet Punch than plain regular Scizor due to it losing an item slot, it gets better bulk but I don't feel like it makes it uber material...
  15. Move Sticky Web

    Is there anything else known about the move? Does it affect flying pokemon? Bug pokemon? Is it permanent like other hazards? Because it almost feels like a permanent Tailwind to me. Defiant suddenly becomes the new Choice Scarf when this gets popular. Assuming both players run this move then...
  16. Other Looking Ahead to Gen VI Mark II (SEE POSTS #818 & #858)

    Except Drizzle doesn't counter Drizzle while Sticky Web counters Sticky Web, similar to how Trick Room counters Trick Room and Taunt counters Taunt. If both sides have their speed reduced by 1, that's no different from neither side having reduced speed. If Sticky Web doesn't affect airborne...
  17. Other Looking Ahead to Gen VI Mark II (SEE POSTS #818 & #858)

    Looking at Mat Block and Crafty Shield, do they fail after repeated use like protect? Also do they lower the chance of moves like protect, otherwise you could alternate Mat Block and Protect? Does it have the same the same priority as Protect? I feel like Mat Block will be very powerful in...
  18. Entry Hazards - Are They Broken?

    I don't think banning the TM would be a good way to go about it. I probably would have preferred there not to have been a TM in the first place, but I find it hard to justify banning it. I don't advocate for banning Stealth Rocks but if we did and Volcarona and Dragonite proves to be too...
  19. CAP 16 CAP 5 - Part 10 - Movepool Submissions

    Only time it would matter is if you are up against a Baton Pass team. I't funny because Mr. Mime can actually Encore the roar and set up.
