Toxic kills Shedinja and if it gets bounced can't hit Gengar. It was Leech Seed, but that's no good.

Do the thing, Zhu Li! Deoxys-Speed @ Safety Goggles Ability: Mold Breaker EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 252 Spd Jolly Nature - Spore - Knock Off - Stealth Rock - U-turn Gengar-Mega @ Spooky Plate Ability: Magic Bounce EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 252...

You can forego hazards, which, because of the dwindling presence of Shedinja and the difficulty of preventing Defog, isn't a bad option, Shedinja dies to a relatively large amount of things, and Imposter counters are seamless. You can also play around each of those things; forcing their Bouncer...

I don't necessarily disagree with those statements, they're just not relevant to the reason the ability is overcentralizing. There's always going to be a best sweeper ability, and Imposter is never going to be the alpha and the omega just because of how the ability works.

Which is exactly why it shoudn't exist. Or, uh, be legal. If I were to compile a list of every pokemon that I've played against with the ability, there would be exactly one Pokemon that can actually deal with the Poison Healer. I - nobody - should be forced to run a 'mon that they don't want to...

Poison Heal. Still dumb. It is just me? It's probably not just me.

Ah, so they implemented it. Well, that'll make things better at least.

Top teams have 8 pokemon with Poison Heal, Sturdy Sheddy, and MG Sheddy to pretend to be the Sturdy Sheddy. Battles rage for centuries. Everything is gelid and miserable. Any attempts to break serve result in immediate disqualification and possible jail time.

Woah woah woah. 3edgy5me. Yeah, I suppose I should have looked on Serebii first before saying that, as Smogon lists the effect of the move but not the actual text. So that's quite a bit better. Anything similar to Thousand Arrows that I can reference? Smack Down does the 'falls to the ground'...

Once again, I fail to be surprised by Adrian Marin. Thousand Waves says nothing about trapping and Thousand Arrows says nothing about hitting flying Pokemon. Most likely Thousand Waves just prevents the 'run' command and Thousand Arrows just hits Levitran. Only one of those sounds particularly...

It's not that bulbapedia is hard to use, it's just that Smogon's information is usually front in center so I can just type the name of the 'mon I want to find in my search box and go to that page instead of playing 6 Degrees of Mewtwo.

Couldn't they at least put up stats and have people write the analysis later? That makes more sense to me than doing it all at once (plus I don't want to fumble around with Serebii and Bulbapedia anymore)

Is Smogon ever going to have it's Gen 6 index up? It's been nearly 6 months. How much more information is there to gather?

Why does everyone use Bolt Strike? 85% accuracy. That's Stone Miss tier. At that accuracy the move needs to shine your shoes and make your bed to be viable.

Light Ball, Thick Club, Soul Dew, and Lucky Punch also work.
