Yeah, all the clauses and tiers seem kind of stupid. Like you said, their are counters for every move, so all these stupid clauses that are applied to prevent stuff from happening, seem really, really stupid lol. It reminds me of the time I was battling one of serebii's osl and he rage quit on me becuase my yanmega had slept his scarf rotom, so later once I was sweeping him with my gyara he couldn't stop me. He thought that it was unfair becuase sleep shouldn't be allowed, and it's like well, you should had thought about that. He knew I liked to lead with a wide lense yanmega, and he didn't prepare for it
