>>18495900>Not. Every. Fucking. Pokemon. Is going. To have. Evasion. Most. Will. Not.>Realistically, it has never been a huge problem in any metagame, has never overcentralized any metagame, and never will, because it's not as horrifying as you pussies make it out to be.Sorry, I'm gonna have to bump this thread up from near-death just to quote this.
It's so hilariously wrong, it just had to be done.
Remember how many teams not based on evasion ever made it into the Wifi singles top 10 over the course of gen 5?
That's right, not a single one. Over the course of the whole generation not even one team not based on this particular strategy ever made it to the top. Not even one. Clearly this particular strategy - the one and only thing to ever make it to the top - was never centralizing in any way.
Remember when Pokemon Online tested Moody in Ubers and how well that went?
Remember when Smogon did the same on PS?
Remember when Pokemon Online routinely retested clauses at the start of gen 5? Remember which test was the only one they had to abort early?
Remember what happened to all competitive singles communities that ever kept evasion unbanned for extended periods of time? Oh right, they all died. I wonder if there could be some sort of correlation here.
Have you ever actually looked at what the current top GBU singles players use? Yes, even in the generation that gave phazing moves perfect accuracy, significantly buffed some of the best users of never-miss-moves, reduced the power gap between never-miss moves and the strongest alternatives and did so much more to indirectly nerf evasion it is still not only dominant or centralizing, but... The. One. And. Only. Viable. Strategy. Within. The. Top. Cut.
It is literally the ONE AND ONLY strategy that has EVER made it to the top. There has NEVER been a single exception. Not even just one.
