Format Discussion Scarlet/Violet Random Battle Sets

how feasible is not allowing mono ghost attacking move dusknoir? having wisp and pain split as your best options against incoming normal types feels pretty frustrating and i think i would almost always prefer eq over split, wisp, or sneak
sure just pick a move to delete entirely from lefties
 
Is there a particular reason why acid armor was removed from Alcremie?

When it was last brought up in this thread it was summarily dismissed.
 
Hello there, just a quick suggestion: :iron leaves: seems to be either CB or LO, but why not Booster Energy + SD? I feel like this mon has a shitty typing and may deserve having the extra speed boost. I'm pretty sure :iron-boulder: have a similar set yet it's already super fast.

Booster Energy would increase Iron Leaves' attack, not speed.
 
PLEASE REMOVE THUNDER WAVE FROM EVERY SINGLE SET ON EVERY SINGLE POKEMON NO ONE WOULD COMPLAIN, EVERYONE WOULD BE HAPPIER

thanks
*Disclaimer (READ BEFORE POSTING):
Random Battles try to always make every part of the competitive Pokemon realm available (not including traits exclusive to AG like Evasion, duplicate species or OHKO moves), along with always aiming to give each Pokemon its best competitive options on their sets. Our method for nerfing strong Pokemon includes a subjective level reduction based on objective winrate data (availabe on the /rwr command), while we try to buff reduced winrate Pokemon by increasing their levels or thinking on alternative sets that might be more useful for them.
Therefore, this thread is not for suggestions, questions or complaints about a particular set that seems too overwhelming for you, as at best it's an issue that will be solved with level nerfing, and if winrates don't abide to it being broken you can reach the Random Battles room to ask for suggestions on how to properly deal with it.
