If you let Garchomp set up double team that's your problem. But if it was sand veil, you could have killed off the tar and stalked out the sand or focused on removing garchomp, the main threat.

none of those would have helped him win in that situation

Well, if you say so. But I'm sure that are other held items that could have given him victory, and not just bright powder. and not just luck based ones like quick claw.

Garchomp can caarry any item it want, according to it's trainers wishes. rather than look on your small list, look on the wide arry of items and rather than look on that final round alone, look on the battle and THAN tell me only bright powder could have let it win.

the odds were in his favor

with niche accuracy boosts and evasion counters the odds are almost always against you

it's almost always better to bite the bullet and hope you get lucky until they've minimized twice or something than run bad moves and items that don't really work against regular teams

That's just rounding at work. Only takes a few entrants to be listed as 0.1%, and I think no item is always listed.

Last season, there was 0.1% usage of Absolite on Mawile. Why? Someone added Mawile to his team just for a ruse and gave it the first item in his list.

And this season, you have 100% Mawilite, 0.1% Occa Berry, 0.1% Lucky Egg and 0.1% no item. If you want to know which idiot forgot the item this season: it's shofu.

List of things that should be banned:

>Critical hits.
>Confusion.
>Moves which have a chance to inflict statuses but aren't 100% guaranteed. (Meaning the likes of toxic and WoW would stay)
>Non 100% accurate moves.
>Paralysis
>Moves which can but do not have a 100% chance to increase stats when used (like Ancient Power)

There we go. Now the game can finally work off skill, rather than luck.
