Mega Sableye barely did anything other than PP stalling.

Was that replay supposed to prove anything? Mega-Sab was just a sitting duck with Kyu-B taking a large dump on over half of that (shitty) stall team, but that's what it does best anyway.

Been said that, I think Mega Sableye MIGHT be suspect-worthy, but definitely not outright broken.

How was that stall team shitty? It's very stereotypical and plain boring but looks pretty solid to me.

that stall team loses completely to or very easily, kyu-b, np thundy, landorus, mega sableye, gengar and diggersby just off the top of my head. this is a problem because of how popular these mons are, not to mention he isnt using sableye to keep hazards off of his side, and get some sort of offensive presence which he has none of right now, or a way to break opposing stall which he has none of right now, unless that's stallbreaker gliscor.

Stalls requires the least amount of effort or strategy to play, so having something that's low risk and potentially high reward will make anyone and everyone want to play it in the higher tiers, thinking it will rack in the wins for points. Its mostly just relying on "will they ragequit?" while you hit protect + recovery move every other turn as they take residual damage unless its an opposing stall team, then its just the matter of who caves in first.

Its one of the main reasons I pack a stallbreaker just in case. Feels great when a Gliscor, which is used to stall, is the one to fuck over opposing stall bigtime instead.

Stall is the easiest of the 3 main playstyles to play. It's very easy to build teams, you can react defensively and never need to predict and "make plays" to win, especially on the mid ladder where people are less likely to predict and do double switches and etc. Of course mons like Gothitelle completely wrecks stall, but any decent stall team should have a pursuiter and it will only take out one member of your team in the worst case scenario if you fuck up.
Melee Mewtwo sums up my thoughts on it quite well, though for ubers instead of ou.

>Stall, on the other hand, is much more simple to abuse and see success with once you reach midlevel play and have a grasp on what checks/counters what. After that, most midlevel players just put together 6 Pokemon that provide strong and consistent switching options against the top threats and that works because of how rare good offense is and how concentrated around the top threats the playstyle tends to be. Its why there's so much creativity to be found in stall. Finding some niche ass Kyogre switch-in isn't difficult nor does its limitations as a Pokemon matter much because you'll probably have some hard wall to the mons that'll punish it, anyways. Stall allows players to get away with shitty checklist teambuilding and short term playing much more easily than offensive teams do.

to play, sure but building a solid stall is much harder than the generalizations that get thrown around here, not to mention that you'll likely lose 100% to some stuff
>Its mostly just relying on "will they ragequit?" while you hit protect + recovery move every other turn as they take residual damage unless its an opposing stall team, then its just the matter of who caves in first.
its obvious you've never played against a stall team before. you need to apply offensive pressure to keep the other team from steamrolling you, and you need to make smart switches hint:a->b switches aren't always the best for a stall team

Well I can't really argue that since you need to have a decent mindset for a proper stall team but i'm basing it more to actual gameplay than that.

I've played against a bunch of stall teams like you would laddering and that has mainly been the case with occasional switches, but it might just be the case of going up against mainly scrubs who quit the moment you find a way around them and find a way to punish them for it.
