>>32649365>Why does Gamefreak keep adding mechanics to encourage it?Game Freak has actually introduced a bunch of things that completely shit on stall. The playstyle is only viable in Smogon's imaginary metagame where they do literally everything they can to keep style viable even though the playstyle wouldn't even exist in the first place if it wasn't for their clauses and bans. Stall has LITERALLY zero room to exist under official rules where things like M-Kangaskhan, M-Lucario, M-Salamence, M-Gengar and Baton Pass are all allowed and item clause prevents you from slapping Leftovers on everything. In other words, stall doesn't even exist in any official format. It's just Smogon keeping it on life support for whatever reason.
