It's banned only on smogon and it's banned because if you're lucky it could make your pokemon OP.

Moody made Bidoof too strong for OU.

Think about that.

Because with Substitute and Protect it can turn things into an unstoppable murder machine.

On Smogon's page for the ability, it says it's because you can stall for boosts until your Pokemon has snowballed to ridiculous stats.

The funny thing is, they haven't banned Accupressure.

Smogon doesn't like luck based mechanics

That's because you need to use Acupressure to get the boosts. With moody its subprotectsubprotectsub, etc with lefties and you get +6 everything.

They haven't banned accupressure because that takes up your turn. Which means using accupressure can result i you taking damage or being OHKO'd if predicted right

With moody, you get to make a move, and then get a free +2. IE using protect or sub, and just getting free +2 with no consequence

Like non 100% accuracy moves and serene grace

They're just hypocrites who only ban the luck based things they lose to.

Can you still sub/protect that much now that there are things that ignore subs and Mega Kangaskhan?

How is it bait Smogonfag. If you're going to complain about "luck" you have to ban every single form of luck else you're just selective banning shit you don't like.

Having to use a counter to things takes more effort than just banning them so it won't get unbanned.

Both are luck based which can result in you winning or losing a game purely on chance.

Because you can limit other forms of randomness to an extent, but you can't outright remove crits

They were decreased in this gen at least, fuck crits

Couldn't you remove crits on the simulators? It's not like any of these "Pro battlers" play over wi-fi anyway.
