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.
While I can understand the arguments for a ban I don't think the points made are strong enough to constitute banning the mechanic rather than problematic abusers. Voting no ban for this
Been a while since I've done anything in BH, busy with other interests but something that I want to talk about wth my brief return is Poison Heal MMY. It serves as a strong check to Poison Heal Xerneas, forcing it out with strong Psystrikes that don't give its Quiver Dances the time of day as it...
Saw you guys talking about defense boosts so I thought I'd share my thoughts on the matter.
Defense boosting moves in BH are typically a waste of time and resources, getting those boosts don't apply pressure against the opponent since you aren't getting any stronger (unless you have stored...
I'm sorry for not taking the time to properly format my post (because when do you expect proper essays and whatnot on the internet), my excuse is that I was on my phone and I find the touch controls to be frustrating far too often. I'd also like to apologize for trying to explain why I disagree...
Imposter doesn't really mean much to illusion mmx unless it's the very first turn since you can just close combat and kill in every other scenario.
Not many people use protect moves so that's not too big of an issue.
If you're disguised as an offensive Pokémon then you can easily get away with...

Bad pun
As an avid user of illusion, this interests me and while I take my time to consider how competitive it is I will outline some of illusion's weaknesses. First and foremost, Baneful Bunker truly holds up to its name in the wake of illusion, not only scouting for their attacks but also...
Starting with Kartana, I think it's a neat idea but I don't think it'll actually see much use, our little origami knife just isn't as appealing as the bigger threats of the meta and doesn't get anything too unique by running triage.
Back to the discussion on KyuB.
I said "most" people, most...
I never said that Rayquaza is free to use Life Orb and Fakespeed, it can use Extreme Speed and Boomburst but Fake Out is and Life Orb just do not mix with them. Speaking of Rayquaza, Diancie does get outsped by it but unless the Rayquaza is using some other -ate ability for whatever reason then...
A few things I'd like to say here:
1. Most people wouldn't want to run Life Orb on a pokemon with a Stealth Rock weakness, especially if you're fakespeed because you don't want to lose a 5th of your health every time you use it.
2. How is KyuB getting a second Extreme Speed for free when...
