Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Why would anyone ever do this. Some silly type shit.

Turn 3
You have 150...
Someone using a mono fire type team, Told me he bet I couldn't win without rocks. So I set them up first turn because it's a mono fire type in OU with no possible spinner/deffoger outside of charizard, I had no reason not too lol. He then called me a pussy and lost,
Higher up on the ladder in the 1500 range, a team of 6 set up sweepers featuring;
Mixed Un Mega Evolved Charizard Y, I don't understand the point of not mega evolving but also going for Flare Blitz
A Dragon Dancing Dragonite that was tricked Choice Specs but came back in and went for Dragon...
Had to register a new account bc I forgot my password -_-, but on the lower ends of the OU ladder EVERY team has a Ninjask I don't know why.
Dragalge going for Thunderbolt, on a Landorus-T
Gengar going for Thunderbolt....on Mega Venasaur
I think this gen Scarfers will have a more prominent role in UU and lower tiers than in priority filled OU. Although I do not think Scarfers should be entirely overlooked in the OU metagame. Once the priority user or users are gone the Scarfed Pokemon has their time to shine. Even in OU two...
I think that's kinda ridiculous, it's a slippery slope argument. I don't think the community would allow such a silly thing to happen. There's no reason we can't have more complex bans. Blaze Blaziken should be in lower tiers because it really can't do anything. I know that makes things more...
If the problem is Swagger in combination with Prankster (which it is) why not ban that in combination with Prankster? Out of the choices offered in the OP I think that's the most logical. There's nothing really broken about a non-prankster user going for Swagger and Foul Play, It's the specific...
Just for fun a full SwagPlay team can use Swagger 144 times or 130 times depending on if the 6th member is ditto or not. So you would have to switch in and out 130-144 times to ensure you wouldn't be able to be Swaggered. What a balanced strategy.
You've said it multiple times but that doesn't mean the reasoning is valid, you can switch out to avoid confusion but if they're running a team of Swagplayers then they're just going to keep using Swagger so it really doesn't matter. It inherently puts the momentum on your opponents side so just...
That justification really doesn't make a lot of sense. It's ok to hax towards your opponent but the opponent can't set up hax? At the end of the day Swagger and Evasion almost fill the same roll, leaving the game up to the RNG rather than making correct predictions.
Like I've said numerous times I'm in favor of a complex ban of Swagger in conjunction with Prankster, there's no point in making the ban even more complex by banning an entire 4 move set when Swagger is clearly the problem in the equation. Non Pranksters with Swagger is fine. At the same time...
