You guys are insane and just like to argue. Obviously, I am talking about competitive battles. Sleep clause was always a thing in any sort of competitive battle, even if it wasn't in the actual cart games. I can not believe I have to clarify that.

The comment that I was responding to quite literally said this: Perhaps you should read instead of pretending I'm saying things that I'm not. But it's not a thing in the actual cart games. So you admit you don't care about inconsistency then... If you want consistency, get rid of freeze...

So is freeze clause. You're only complaining about sleep because Darkrai got unbanned. The problem is Darkrai. If I could win games with Nasty Plot + Hypnosis Gengar, I would. But Gengar isn't good enough. There is one mon and only one mon who can abuse it at the level that deserves to be...

Dude, RBY would be completely unplayable without sleep clause. It has been around since the very beginning. You're showing your age with these comments.

Sleep clause exists in gen 1, 2, 3, 4... it's not a new thing. It's been here for 25+ years. Then Darkrai comes to OU and people want it gone. ???? The problem is Darkrai. Not the rule that's been here longer than half of you have been alive.

Please link them and let's read the discussion about how sleep should be banned because of Hypnosis Valiant

Banning sleep just to keep Darkrai in OU would be... something. Was there ever even one post complaining about sleep, in this generation, prior to Darkrai getting unbanned?

I dare someone to get high rating with Hypnosis + Nasty Plot Gengar. I don't think you can do it. Gengar has too many flaws (squishy, outsped by many top threats, no chip damage from Bad Dreams limits his ability to break defensive mons, no flinch chance via Dark Pulse, weak to Clodsire's...

Didn't you call me crazy for saying Annihilape should get a re-test? You should be consistent in your opinions. Annihilape breaks stall, gets banned. Darkrai does it (while being way better against offense), gets called "midrai"

Are they really crappy replays when I've shared 5 replays of Darkrai doing the exact same thing, against the same exact type of team, all against players within the top 100 on the OU ladder? Seems like a trend at that point.

The big difference between Darkrai and Gengar is the ability. Darkrai gets valuable chip against sleeping mons (or, in the case of Clefable, tells you whether it's running Unaware or Magic Guard). Darkrai's resisting Sucker Punch is also more useful than Gengar's being immune to Seismic Toss...

Darkrai 6-0's another stall team at 1900 rating, this time with 2 Unaware users AND Blissey: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2026379945 It's really not hard. Boost up, sleep something threatening, then click Dark Pulse until you get a flinch. Defensive teams can't do a damn thing...

Except no, because Hypnosis. You need a sleep sacrifice first, then switch in the Unaware mon. Which is extremely easy to play around for the Darkrai user (they know to save sleep for your Unaware mon).

Unaware. Gholdengo is not even a little bit fast either, at 87 speed with no priority. Serperior is naturally outsped by many mons in OU. Unaware also handles him well. Have you heard of Ting-Lu? Blissey? Clodsire? Volcarona can not break special walls. Gouging Fire has been discussed as...

I think using multiple mons to beat someone is a lil bit different than leading with Darkrai and winning the game right then and there, without ever switching. Which happens regularly when you use Darkrai against defensive teams. Any team without Booster Energy speed or multiple priority users...
