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.
But it's not the Leppa + Recycle the thing that forces an endless battle, but trapping + Leppa or trapping + Recycle (besides from the very specific scenario that you listed above) .
Yes, we were talking about it in the thread and I exposed one set that uses lepparecycle, but the thread got locked before we could further develop into the topic. Anyways wouldn't banning something because "it has no competitive uses anyways" imply that things like Bluk Berry should be banned...
But if both parties only have one Pokémon left that means the Truant Durant strategy is no longer available for the troll player and without foe healing moves LeppaRecycle won't do anything. Anyways that's a very specific scenario
When the opponent only has one Pokemon left, if you have several more, he has already lost anyways and if he doesn't like it he might as well surrender. Also why would you do that if you've already won

I would like that you read the thread and gave me a valid opinion (one that isn't "we ban it because it's not competitive" or "your PS ranking is shit so you don't have reason trololo" like some mods in the thread have done)...
