00:49:15 |c|#Arcticblast|Something that just occured to me
00:49:22 |c|#Arcticblast|after seeing Rumors's RMT
00:49:41 |c|#Arcticblast|A whole lot of BH is centered around abilities
00:50:06 |c|#Arcticblast|but when you say something like "you can beat one or two Poison Heal users but not six"
00:50:14 |c|#Arcticblast|you're basically saying
00:50:30 |c|#Arcticblast|that the secondary tool these Pokemon are using
00:50:36 |c|#Arcticblast|is what you're trying to beat
00:50:41 |c|#Arcticblast|as opposed to just beating the Pokemon
00:51:11 |c|#Arcticblast|if you have problems with x number of Poison Heal sweepers
00:51:15 |c|#Arcticblast|your problem isn't Poison Heal
00:51:20 |c|#Arcticblast|it is 100% the sweepers
00:51:39 |c|#Arcticblast|(unless your only answer to anything is Spore in which case you have more problems)
00:51:52 |c|#Arcticblast|basically what I'm getting at is
00:52:03 |c|#Arcticblast|focus on the Pokemon in front of you and what it's doing
00:52:08 |c|#Arcticblast|ability, moves, everything
00:52:13 |c|#Arcticblast|don't focus on one thing
00:52:58 |c|#Arcticblast|I get that BH has a huge emphasis on ability
00:53:17 |c|#Arcticblast|but I feel like a lot of players make the ability seem even more influential than it already is
00:55:24 |c|#Arcticblast|like let's break down that team for a bit
00:55:40 |c|#Arcticblast|Giratina is a passive support mon
00:55:59 |c|#Arcticblast|Yveltal is a more offensive support mon
00:56:20 |c|#Arcticblast|Gigas, Zard, and Deer God are on the team to break stuff
00:56:42 |c|#Arcticblast|and Kyogre is a setup sweeper and the team's initial win condition
00:56:53 |c|#Arcticblast|The "break stuff" mons all hit different things
00:57:11 |c|#Arcticblast|it just so happens that they all use the same ability
00:57:14 |c|#Arcticblast|but in reality
00:57:24 |c|#Arcticblast|it's just a good team with each Pokemon serving a different role
00:58:21 |c|#Arcticblast|
