>>41738032Prior to gen 5 stall was actually quite aggressive; there was quickstall, semi-stall and the 'sweeper' Skarmory set that could dismantle offensive teams in about 30 turns. Unfortunately thanks to Scald, Rain stall, Defog, Megas, trapping, Magic Bounce, Regenerator and Toxapex, stall has only relatively recently become a passive, annoying style of spamming weak moves and forcing stalemates. It's a degraded husk of its former self.
