Even though I don't have much experience with the metagame, I agree with this. Sand Veil, BrightPowder, Double Team, etc. are not broken, as in they give such an advantage that if you're not using it, you've already lost (for example, Kyogre in OU would be obviously broken). However, they are bad for the game in that they make the result of matches caused more by luck than by skill.
