>>53948556This is what killed my interest in smogon comp in the early stages of the SW/SH meta
Z crystals lead to a lot of bullshit ass pulls that were barely tolerable, but dyna was awful, and then even post ban it just felt like you could only prepare for a fraction of the meta between power creep and the dexcut
It was a lot of losing at team preview or to luck, so I've just started playing formats like monotype that lean into that and feel more like zany "just for fun" metas
