>>20661443Yeah and also AM145.
"Your argument about team matchup frankly I think is irrelevant. Team matchup issues will always be a problem more or less. Mostly everyone here knows the philosophy of team match up and how it's not necessarily an auto-win for the favorable player, so not going to continue on that."
Fact of the matter is this. Not to mention crits. And even if paraflinch is viable its still a % chance. There are just a lot of variables. And Smogon Community wants to eliminate them so they don't have to play interactively. If anything the fact that Pachi facilitated a worlds win is enough to show that interacting with the opponent is important.
>>20661465Why do that if the only issue is the fact that banning the move solves the issue of Scoli getting tow boosts off and passing them?
It has Poison Ground Bug and rock coverage while weak to flying fire ground and psychic.
It's likely gonna run sword dance in one slot if it can't use BP as it'll be relegated to offensive mon. Prankster WoW or Parlysis will cripple it while Encore forces a switch. It's considerably easier to deal with once set up. Dragon Tail and Whirlwind force it out too.
Steels wall the fuck out of it so air balloon could be your cover for EQ. Alternatively Sturdy Aggron or Mega Aggron tank it and either EQ back, Gyro ball, Or Metal Burst. Ageislash fucks it up too though its in ubers now.
The problem with Espeon, however, is magic bounce and the fact that it's special instead of physical. Prankster can't do anything to it. Synhronize gets past this but why the fuck would the Espeon use Toxic once boosted?
Brick Break removes screens and Infiltrator mons ignore screens and subs.
I run Noivern as a Wall Breaker with Super Fang and Boomburst. Gets the job done. But there are other options.
>>20661646Good.
>>20661744GF hates stall or something. Probably never viable again. A Stall-mon is fine as a wall but stall is kill.
