Format Discussion Scarlet/Violet Random Battle Sets

Regarding the recent change to the setup set: can we please give it the lefties back? I know this literally just got changed but it feels so much worse. Miraidon is already more than strong enough to blow through most mons with a couple cms, its more limited by its relatively bad speed. The orb just puts it on a timer and makes it more unreliable and vulnerable to being revenged. I have no problem with the moveset changes but the item is so much worse now, I feel like it would definitley benefit much more from an item that could let it stick around like lefties or even boots.

I get that this was just added and its probably better to wait for data to come in but I just wanted to weigh in.

We very well might do so! Since the data comes in at the same time we make updates, we'll be waiting until the data comes in either way.

I noticed that Fast Attacker Magnezone sets have the possibility of having Analytic, which seems like kind of an unhelpful ability for a set that is guaranteed to be Scarfed and thus presumably should be outspeeding a lot of the meta. I'm just curious as to why Fast Attacker Magnezone can have Analytic as its ability but not Sturdy, given that (imo) the latter seems more useful on a Fast Attacker than the former.

Analytic activates on switches, which means you have a fast mon that can get bonus damage on the opponent switching out of a bad matchup or attempting to escape a revenge kill.

yeah i don't like it either but the team hates magnet pull and the stats don't show that analytic is worse on scarf than magnet pull was. Last thing I want is having sturdy too, though. I'm a magnet pull believer through and through and don't want that to be any less common than it already is.

Fix Sableye. This mon just auto wins into a ton of different sets and worst of all you're very limited in your switches because it can have both Thunder Wave and Will o Wisp. Give it just Thunder Wave and it's much more manageable.

Mons are not intentionally nerfed or made worse for the sake of it, if it is too strong it will have high winrates to show and get its level nerfed at the end of the month.
