This is a good point, but ultimately it comes down to the fact that yeah your Fini loses any additional bonuses, but it does RUIN an entire mon, in two ways. The total disadvantage caused by losing Eviolite is way worse than losing a marginal advantage on Fini, whos purpose is presumably to hurt...

As versatile and powerful as Dragapult is, I can't really see it being banned as a better outcome. The "hey, it promotes diversity" argument doesn't work that well for mons, cause if we banned 'pult, something is gonna come out to take its place. The argument about Dracovish and counters is a...

I think an OU Item Clause could lead to some more diversity, especially when it comes to something like leftovers, but it would in a sense give a little bit of an edge to Toxapex for black sludge over leftovers. I think it could be cool overall tho, we could get to see some new items or rarer...

There's a downside for sure, and I'm not acting like boots suddenly makes a mon like Volcarona better in ALL cases, but it makes it way easier for it to come in and removes a lot of the counterplay and difficulty around using Volcarona, especially with Teleport's prevalence, which can get it in...

I think a boots clause sounds good. The problem isn't necessarily the way that mons like Torn get to do their jobs better, it's more in the way that they become too much and make wayyyy too many mons immune to hazards. The aspect of Volcarona's 4x weakness meant that if you wanted to use it...

Thoughts on Zapdos-G? When scarfed, its speed tier isn't awful, and its got dual 120 BP stabs, plus U-Turn.
