Oh, I didn't assume so. I'm low-key just being mad about +evasion being possible in an evasion clause tier despite running meowsca lmao But in my head it makes perfect sense to bring up and talk about it in a forum dedicated to the metagame since that's what forums are for iirc

Noted, I've never been on a forum prior to my first post here, I'll try to adjust to the proper etiquette

Which defeats the point of evasion clause since the point of evasion clause is to not have to bring sure hit moves just to avoid getting evasion cheesed

Nono, there's a strat where you lower the opponent's evasion, topsy turvey it (malamar's sig move) to make it +evasion, then heart swap it onto a manophy to have +evasion in an evasion clause ruleset

My take from what little I've read of this is that Trademarks should be allowed 2 activations per turn instead of one, since the first would copy the opponent's ability for either move, then the second would reuse the opponent's own trademark whilst their newly obtained skill swap would take...

Wait, I forgot accuracy stat exists Let's just ban evasion lowering moves, fixes every issue I have with the strat

I will say I've made the smart decision of running defog on my main team for Trademarked, but I still think +evasion in an evasion clause ruleset is criminal.

Fair point, but the ruleset for it literally has evasion clause so the +evasion variant should absolutely not be possible imo Like if we don't wanna ban topsey turvey, the only other option is to ban evasion lowering moves, and that makes lock-on/foresight the only way to hit low accuracy moves...

Alright, Heartswap ban sounds fair. I should also mention Topsey Turvey is what kinda enabled it in the first place, so banning that could get rid of this strat without completely abandoning the potential nuance that Heartswap could still have outside of this strat. I think Psych Up 2 electric...

I have a feeling banning Eject Pack could nerf this strat if people wanna keep Manophy for any reason

Chat, +2 Atk, +2 SpAtk, +4 Evasion, +4 Speed in one turn Manophy exists, and I have a feeling it probably shouldn't exist https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9trademarked-2371884549-u5nt7xshl34fj9mg52h1vk8mj1y2x4tpw If I'm just bad then mb, I'll buzz off
