    SwagPlay, evaluating potential bans (basic definition of "uncompetitive" in OP)

    That's extremely unlikely to happen both because it'd require huge amounts of luck and because most teams end up having something that can deal with it. We shouldn't just ban stuff that can be used in a legitimate way just to avoid a very unlikely scenario that can easily be dealt with.

    SwagPlay, evaluating potential bans (basic definition of "uncompetitive" in OP)

    idk if this has been suggested yet but limiting swagger to one pokémon per team should be enough. Swagger per se is a legitimate move in many cases and so is Klefki, so it'd get rid of an uncompetitive kind of team while still allowing people to gamble with a move that can backfire (like pretty...

    Shift Gear with 3 special moves is slightly weaker and is more vulnerable to Foul Play but i'd rather have the surprise factor. It may not be very consistent, but it's a strong bluff which can be done without sacrificing too much, so it should always be taken in consideration since using Rock...

    You could, you know, explain how they're outclassed (which they aren't, but you can try, even if some are a little bit easier to fit in a team) instead of simply disagreeing with it, and if you pay attention you'll notice that in no way i'm comparing Genesect to Rayquaza as a pokemon, i'm merely...

    XY Suspect Testing Round 1 np: Michael Jackson - (extreme)Speed Demon (READ POST #1278)

    Both Mega-Lucario and Deoxys-S results are already set in stone so i'll only talk about Genesect: Currently his presence in the metagame isn't anything to worry about since he's mostly used as a scarfer. However, i don't think it's fair to assume he's a healthy presence just because his most...

    Kangaskhanite Tiering Discussion [+Demographics Poll Added to OP]

    On paper she's not that strong; having few reliable counters/revenge killers isn't something new, and while she surely has more bulk than we're used to in a offensive pokemon she also has a not-so-good-typing. My issue with her is how much she can do in a single turn or with a single moveslot...

    The World Cup of Pokemon VII - Round 2

    You're the one talking about hatting three teams completly unrelated to you while trying to sound smart. On the other hand, we are just trashtalking our opponents because, as you should probably know, that's one cool thing about Wcup.
