Can someone please decipher what
>>28259327 is trying to say >>28258943I'm sure you're more well-versed in the game than a person with 2000 points.
He had to go out to Charizard because the BP player could easily PP stall the Quagsire and the Amoonguss as boosting moves have a ridiculous amount of PP.
Going to copypaste something another anon said regarding the issue:
>No, he played as well as he could. You don't see how fragile the stall player was to a Baton Pass at potentially any moment after the game-winning chain started. Sylveon threatened the Quagsire and going to Amoonguss was a risk each time because of the potential to Baton Pass to Espeon, giving him a free Sub or Stored Power. The stall player paid for when Quag ended up getting knocked down to half. He probably could have sacked something else, but was probably predicting the Sub or Calm Mind, which would have been plays to expect too.>Not to mention, the BP chains expend a shit ton of PP since each Pass is 64, so he could have stalled the stall player out if he wanted. That's why the stall player decided to be a bit more aggressive with Charizard.>And the reason he stayed in with Chansey to keep hitting was that a wrong move in switching to Quag or Amoong on the turn of a Baton Pass into Espeon would be checkmate either way. I don't think people realize that
>Smogon tried less restrictive bans but those failed to work >The current Baton Pass clause was created by dEnIsSsS HIMSELF. >>28259973PU is for the absolute lowest of the low. Kinda necessary given how many Pokémon there are now.
BL are the banlists for every tier below OU. Staraptor is not used enough to be considered OU. But Staraptor has been deemed far too powerful for UU. So it's been banned to BL. You can use it in OU and higher. BL2 IS the banlist for RU, and so on.
