>>27616941>Pachurisu is uncompetitive. Oh wait...Pachirisu isn't uncompetitive. It's unorthodox.
>Because uncompetitive strats can actually change the meta if they're well thought out, changing how competitive operates? Funbro not included, obviously.What do endless battles do that changes the meta in a good way?
>Actually, it doesn't. The battle will end, one way or another. Except it can only end when one player gets fed up and forfeits. Not when one player outplays the other. That is not healthy in a competitive format.
Name one competitive community that would allow bullshit like this.
>And if endless battles are really so competitive, ban leppa+fling and leppa+heal pulse. fling and leppa serve no purpose but to give the opponent more PP, which only has a bearing on struggle. Heal pulse in general might have some purpose, but combined with a leppa you know what's going to happen. There was a strat going around after the Leppa + Recycle ban where a Trevenant would Skill Swap its ability to the opponent, activate a Red Card and switch to Gardevoir, who would trace Harvest and trap with Mean Look. People kept finding ways around it. You'd bitch no matter what, since you're ALREADY defending endless battles as a legitimate strategy.
>Leppa by itself is not an issue in the slightest, you dickwaving fucks getting triggered by it is the real issue here.What the fuck actually used Leppa Berry? You're not upset because your legitimate Hydro Pump Leppa Berry strategy was ruined, you're upset at the act of banning Leppa Berry.
>>27616975Have you tried Smogon Doubles? It's like the best of VGC and the best of Smogon combined.
