Fishing for burns is an uncompetitive strategy much like double Protect and you deserve to lose if you try to pull that off. That's the reason they did a No Scald ladder in the first place.

>>23260884
Yes it does. Scald/IB/SR/Defog is the only set it should run. Roar isn't good with that typing since it's either weak or neutral against most setup sweepers.

And yet despite this, Smogon still thinks that Scald is overpowered.

Not overpowered but uncompetitive, mainly because of the reason OP described.
