>>20603362>If you use say, Thunder, you are relying completely on luck for it to hit.Which is nice and all, but nothing particularly crippling (as compared to giving out free turns like candy to your opponent because your moves keep missing) will happen if you get hit by a lower acc. move as opposed to a 100% acc. but less powerful move. Specs Kingdra Surf in Rain or Specs Kingra Hydro Pump in rain: both hurt like sin.
>If you use any move with a secondary effect, you are relying completely on luck for it to take effect>you are relying>RELYINGNo you're not. No one 'relies' on Flamethrower to BRN. No one 'relies' on Ice Beam to FRZ. Just because the RNG can just randomly decide to screw over one or the other player doesn't mean you're abusing luck. Like I think Scald is the only real luck-based move, but, as a singular move, there are ways around it with status absorbers, special attackers, Lum berry, and clerics.
>The only difference is Minimize flusters the sentient mass of crybabies called Smogon, because they get beaten with it and they don't want to bother working around it.Gosh, if you could tell me how to fit in whatever could handle most evasion users (I'll give you a hint: it's not no-miss moves and it's not phazing) while ALSO having a gameplan for Mega Mawile, Mega X-zard, Mega Pinsir, Keldeo, Terrakion, Mega Gyaraods, Mega Tyranitar, Sand Rush Excadrill, Landorus, Thundurus, Azumarill, Garchomp, Greninja, Talonflame, Dragonite, Mega Venusaur, Mega Garde, Mega Cham, Mega Hera, Lando-T, Breloom, Mamoswine, and Bisharp, and not even counting all the less dangerous/common threats (as well as defensive threats) that are liable to screw you over should you ever face a team with it.
