AAA National Dex Almost Any Ability

so its also easier to break nat dex AAA stall than regular stall.
the key is having mixed attackers, there are lots of mons with abilities that can make them decent mixed attackers (genesect, chomp), which can help break holes in their stall. alternatively you can use trapping checks like pursuit
add this game mode back please, pokeaimMD has spoken, its way more fun than regular AAA!
edit: i would pay $$$ to whoevers operating the game modes to add it back lmaoooasfaipnfaion

Nooo Bring it back, Me and my buddies were enjoying this mode soooooo much T_T
While Stall is better in comparison to SVAAA given the potency of HO within the tier and also gaining extra tools like double Regen and MBounce I wouldn't call it a tier-dominating force from anecdotal experience on ladder as it experiences the same issues innate to the archetype as it does everywhere, that being its passivity and lack of leeway against mons that pressure it. I can't outline any specific breakers since you haven't outlined any mons except Chansey and some abilities but you can look at the VR and there are many strong breakers that can pressure Stall such as Psyshock Tapu Lele, Walking Wake (which can pressure greatly with strong WBalls and Knock Off, particularly potent on SpikeStack BO/Balance styles), ISword MMawile/MMedi, Gapdos, Deoxys-S, Pursuit users such as Bisharp and MTar, the variety of Trick mons such as Fini, Mew, etc* that can cripple annoying threats, hazard setters that threaten MSab (eg Heatran), the whole mechanic of ZMoves and so on.
This is unfortunately not likely to happen as to become a permanent ladder would probably require Admin approval and they are generally quite strict about adding new Permaladders without a very strong case (even high plays isn't entirely convincing as other high-play temporary ladders like in the SVOMs sections have proven to see a significant decay in plays after they become a permaladder eg SP) so unfortunately you'll have to wait at least another 6 months for AAA to be back in the pool again, but hey if plays continue to be sustained for the third month maybe it wouldn't be as impossible perhaps...
by plays being sustained for the third month, i thought nat dex AAA cant be added again in 6 months? or do we need to continue showing forum support for 3 months? sorry im new to how the process works
Natdex AAA has had two months of it being the spotlight ladder, this month and also 7 months ago I believe where it also showed a decent amount of play. So by third month of plays being sustained I mean by the next time it has spotlight ladder in 6 months time or more (also these small questions probably dont need to asked on forums and it'd be more productive to ask in the NDAMs Discord)
i wouldnt call a 1.5x multiplier a "small" boost; the damage isword gives is stupid high to the point where nothing can actually wall 4a fire fang variants bar hyperniche sets that are otherwise unviable
pls remove if not related to nat dex AAA, but are there any statistic to see the # of players in regular AAA vs nat dex AAA, and how many players from AAA move to nat dex AAA while the game mode is active? Could this be a useful statistic to show admins that this game mode is worth keeping? its so much more fun than regular AAA
