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.
scarfed latios is good probably just to trick an incoming chansey, tapu fini maybe skarmory... beyond that its never going to sweep... scarfed rachi.. u can 1v1 mega metagross with iron head in theory.. so i dnt understand how gross leaving will help scarfed rachi, but there are sooo many other...
im not going to disagree with what you said. but you are not forced to run z move duggy at all.. band duggy ohkos gross after rocks damage. yes greninja is a check but we all know this is next in line for suspect.. adamant mega sharpedo ohkos gross from full.. koko gets alot of damage with volt...
ok so some scarf users against metagross, lando/chomp/gengar/drill... ok so after gross goes, lando can use helmet or dual dance z move... seen both on the ladder even with the presence of gross, no scarfed chomp, seen helmet chomp and z move chomp with gross around, gengar is uu purely by usage...
Metagross is not the ONLY pokemon thats restricts teambuilding... banning gross will not result in variety or creativity... ppl will still use helmet lando or defensive chomp, av tang or helmet tang, toxapex, ferrothorn and what not... its gonna be the same thing regardless of whether gross gets...
yea except that the damage u take from leech into protect from ferro is still damage u need to put in range for revenging.. plus gross is forced to take iron barbs damage unless it uses eq and eq does absolutely nothing to ferro without the atk raise from mash... u-turn damage is about 27% which...
Ok heres the thing, lando has been using helmet since oras... so if anything oras is the meta thats changed lando from lefties to metagross.. so dont blame gross for helmet lando... 2nd helmet tangrowth and av trangrowth depends on how weak your team is to certain pokemon aka ash gren/koko etc...
here's the thing about metagross. u know damn well its always gonna run mash, ice punch for mons like zygarde chomp and lando.. the remaining 2 moves depends on the requirement of the team.. and its possible to tell based on the tapu u have on the team. koko probably means thunderpunch, lele...
no the last thing we need is pokemon like talonflame and zard to come in without taking the 50% stealth rock damage... the paralysis nerf is more than enough considering now its 90% accurate and the fact that it only reduces the speed by half.. i don't know why they reduced the accuracy and i...
Uhhh most stall breakers can be beaten by the combination of mega Sableye and a unaware mon (mega Sableye to bounce back taunt and unaware mon to stop set up). Having one stallbreaker does not mean you are good to go. Stall can easily play around just one breaker. If you carry 2 or 3 you could...
Every stall team has an unaware mon to shut down a pokemon that's setting up. And every stall team has a mega Sableye to bounce back a taunt. Stall play style forces you to carry very specific sets to beat it. So technically isint stall by itself restricting team building? (I knw the thread is...
But from your post it would seem that you want hoopa banned mainly because it's not fun to sac a mon especially using stall. Why should most stall players always have a better match up. If you dont pack a wall breaker or stall breaker in your team 9 out of 10 times you lose against someone who...
I never said that if Hoopa leaves ou, stall becomes an issue. I'm just saying that don't say it's not fun to sacrifice a mon against hoopa especially using stall. That makes no sense. Against hoopa, more often than not you will sac a mon to check the moveset it's running in order to revenge. But...
It's not funny to be forced to sacrifice a mon especially if you are using stall?? Who here thinks facing mega Sableye quag chansey amoongus alomomola skarm all in the same team is fun?
