k so having played a shitload of games in this meta as well as facing some of the better players on the ladder, I have developed my opinion on the lack of Sleep Clause and the ensuing metagame. I centered my team around the much hyped Char Y + Venusaur core and then added Taunt and Scarf Tyranitar to deal with the sleep and other top threats. I really expected to fuck up teams solo using the aforementioned core, but surprisingly, despite having come into the test expecting the very worst, I realized Sleep was barely impacting the metagame. It is quite hard and potentially strategically harmful to target single mons with Sleep Powder, esp when a lot of shit runs Protect. Furthermore, the only notable impact it made in my eyes was enable hyper offense to become more effective, as Sleep aids them to make up for their lack of bulk compared to typical bulky offense teams. Also, as has been said several times before, Sleep really punishes poor teambuilding, which I believe is yet another benefit.
This I have noted from playing around on the ladder, and so my final opinion, contrary to what I thought before, is that removing Sleep clause is not a problem; furthermore, it even benefits the metagame by enabling Hyper Offense to become more effective and by punishing poor team building.
Overall, I say free sleep :P
Also noting that Laga is 1000% right, Scarf Ttar is the shit and fucks up so much. An amazing filler mon and it pulls its weight every single game.
Also use Stunfisk!!!!!
