So THIS is what the Mayans predicted...

What else can I say? Every time I faced evasion moves or tried them myself, they were not only pointless, but actually a liability. Double Team just sucks, and only Drifblim seems to have a competitive use for Minimize. Even then, Baton Pass is significantly harder to consistently win with in Ubers than a conventional team archetype. Evasion moves are an additional luck factor, but apparently very minor one. I wouldn't feel right about banning Brightpowder or Confuse Ray for the same reason. I'm not saying that unbanning evasion moves was for sure the right thing to do (I'm not fully convinced it was), but rather that if evasion moves can be at all a detriment to the metagame, this testing period sure has not shown that to me.
