As an HO and HO user, I love this shit.

The amount of ohkos and 2hkos it ensures its just impossible to pass.

Without them the games would drag on and on and on...also fuck sashes and multiscale.

I seriosly think it needs to be nerfed, but as a monotype bug fag, it's the only recourse I have against switch happy talonflames.

It helps against fire and lying in general though, which obviously give bugs some of the most trouble

My main problem with it is how widely accessible it is
It wouldn't play nearly as big a part of the metagame if it was just restricted to the Pokemon who can learn it through level up or breeding but they had to make it a TM and a move tutor move.

Like a 3, but that's because in use battle spot. If I was on smogon I'd be pissed that all my bug, fire and flying mons were gimped 100% of games. In fact, part of that 3 is from when I played smogon OU. Its rare enough in battle spot that I can't even get mad when I see it.

10.
It's the only entry-hazard that has a type that gets factored in, whereas Spikes does no extra damage to things weak to Ground.

It can do as much damage to a Flying mon as 3x Spikes to a non-Flying mon - and it only needs one fucking turn to set up.

Only good point is that it can hurt flying types, what spikes can't do. But it needs a fucking nerf, why spikes need 3 layers to do 25% when one layer of rock can easily 25% half the game ?
Remove type effectiveness and don't hurt rock types / make these last 5 turns / absorbed by rock mons / anything that bring these to spikes level.

I would be okay with it if it didn't do damage based on type. It arbitrarily discriminates heavily against specific types, including Ice which has enough fucking problems.

I hate it so much I want them to make another one that's Grass type. Sure it's a much worse move in theory since so many types resist it, and fewer are weak to it, but it is SE against water, and I'm tired of those little shits winning the lottery on virtually everything. Weather related abilities in type, not weak to any types with priority (because for some reason electric can't do this) while getting their own. Four resists- three highly relevant while only weak to two types. One can't switch in on them and the other one of the is one of the worst offensive types in the game. And almost all of 'em die to Ice Beam...

actually i think there should be more kind of "stealth rock"-like hazards

lets say something like stealth icicle, same as rocks but with ice, but overrides rocks if they are already on the field, you have to chose between rocks and ice

and give it only to ice mons

Giving it only to ice mons means it just wouldn't get used. Part of Stealth Rock's viability is the fact that fucking everything has access to it.

The only way to buff Ice is to make more mons like Weavile.

It's nice, I won't lie, but in the end its only ever profitable to use specifically against water types. Its otherwise a grossly inferior Ice Beam. But hey, since ice types also suffer from really shitty move pools a special attacker might actually have room for both.

Now they need a bug type (web) that hits flying, and a poison type acid that hits steel.

I agree. Rock and Ice are both SE against Flying, and except for Dragon which isn't used much since every other new Pokemon was made Fairy, it has nothing over Rock. It's not the buff Ice needs; Ice needs to lose a weakness and hit something new for SE.

SR is #2 in what my current pu team is alligned against (weakness to fire was #1). demn pebbles.
