>>53102707It’s because dumb idiots keep joining with things that are x4 weak to Ice (Garchomp, Dragonite, Toedscruel), physically frail and weak to physical dark moves (Espathra), or things that just have no bulk at all (Lucario).
Not that I will entirely blame those players for not knowing any better. Game Freak messed up with making Charizard preschooler-level easy, then they made Cinderace a lot more challenging, but still allowed some reasonable opportunity to counteract the rabbit with more options than Charizard ever had. Then, Game Freak decided to give the frog fucking Ice Beam for no reason, and I guess there’s an issue to be had with hydro pump over water shuriken. Now players are limited with Vaporeon and struggle a bit with but still be able to succeed Slowbro.
Greninja isn’t balanced, its double team spam is also more annoying than Cinderace’s bulk up spam. I fear the next shillmon raid will be even more outrageous.
