>>19198699Unlike GF, which is tierless singles/doubles/trips/rotation or VGC, Smogon has tiers to ensure that you can viably run your less fortunate favourites who get beaten up in metas where OU's are allowed. Take Delphox in RU, for example. I like Delphox, so do plenty of others, but no matter how many stupid arguments Delphox fans pull (kek my LO HP Ice Delphox beat up Smogonshark the other day), the wizard will not magically become viable in a tier where shit like TTar, Gengar and plenty of non-box legends run rampant.
>Never acknowledges Evasion/Swagger/Foul Play because it takes 'no skill.'But it doesn't. At all. I tested a paraswag/evasion team built around Thundurus/Clefable, and it literally took no skill to use whatsoever. Press button, pray for hax, repeat. Also, have your rank magically upped my people surrendering as soon as they see Minimize.
>Only uses Hydro Pump because Power>AccuracyNo one ever forces you to. Choose whether you prefer power (Pump), consistency and spread in case you play dubs/trips (Surf) or chance for a beneficial secondary effect (Scald). All are viable, and which one you use depends on you
