>>12075029You can just switch out your sleeped pokémon and use another; however, you can't directly erase the boosts from your opponent's double teamer. Also, there are only a handful of pokémon with spore, so they're easily counterable with prediction (sleep powder and moves with lower accuracy are not counted since their accuracy is less than desirable); however, nearly every pokémon that can learn a TM can learn double team, so it's near-impossible to cover everything.
>>12075070SpDef hippowdon is beaten by HP ice and can't whirlwind all the time thanks to DT, gastrodon is beaten by HP grass but like you said isn't by HP ice. All of the others are valid counters, though, and you have a good point. You can also run whirlwind instead of HP ice, probably?
>>12075068Who said I'm a competitivefag that only uses politoed and scizor? I've never used a rain team, most of my teams consist of UU and lower pokémon, with OU only when needed. Oh, and my sun team uses Shiftry and Sawsbuck, so yeah.
>>12075151You might as well remove the damage rolls while you're at it, only doing fixed damage. Oh, and make every move 100% accurate. You might as well play chess, then.
