A replay filled with mistakes doesnt illustrate anything. If your opponent has absolutely no idea what to do against baton pass, then your replay is completly useless. I am almost expecting you to post someone shell smashing thrice in a row while the opponenet sets up hazards and then say "shell smash is clearly broken, mistakes or skill in general doesnt matter."
Yeah, the staple of baton pass teams for 3 generations has absolutely no place in the discussion about banning his replacement.
Dont even try to refute anything, just keep saying no one can mention him anymore. That will work against every possible argument.
You didnt even read my post, did you? Keep fighting your strawman that has no idea how protect + sub works.
Woah. I am wrong because I am wrong. Scolipede is uncompetitive because it is uncompetitive. This opened my eyes.
I never said there wasnt a problem with baton pass. In fact, all my last posts were debating against a Scolipede ban because it wouldnt be enough of a nerf. Not that I expected you to know this, you're clearly not reading anything and has resorted to dodging every point with half assed generic responses.
Concluding a player "has absolutely no idea what to do against Baton Pass" because he opted for a second Dragon Dance is ignorant and cowardly. "There were mistakesLOL!" doesn't refute the illustrations of the replays. Read this over and over until you understand:
the replays demonstrates Scolipede's effortless x3 Speed and x2 Def, regardless of what you do, and by himself, he can restart the chain with equally no effort several times during the course of a single match.
Ninjask has already been discussed. It lacks the bulk, stats, and reliability that Scolipede possesses; it's inferior in every way. The argument "you can replace Scolipede with Ninjask!" has already been defeated. Ninjask has existed since Gen 3, and only now, because of Scolipede, is Baton Pass archetype dominating and overcentralizing the OU metagame.
You truly don't believe a Pokemon that can boost 2 stats simultaneously, and reboost several times over the course of the match, and ensure speed initiative for the entire chain, isn't the problem? There's literally nothing you can do to stop 1-3x Speed and x2 Defence, between Mental Herb, Iron Defence, and Protect. Switch to a counter? He's now behind a Substitute, able to Protect again.
Seriously answer how Scolipede isn't a problem whatsoever, and perhaps enlighten us on what is.
