>>28907289Prankster Swagger has exactly two counters, Magic Bounce and Own Tempo. Fortunately, Magic Bounce is one of the most widespread Abilities with a whopping 6 Pokemon learning it, all of which are walled by Klefki. The best Pokemon that gets Own Tempo is Slowbro and believe it or not that thing is only good because of Regenerator.
What you people will argue is "Oh Smogon just use a Pokemon from a lower tier, change your perspective" and all that shit. Here's the problem with doing that: if you are going to NU to use Grumpig and Lickilicky to be able to beat one thing, you basically have 5 Pokemon on your team. You people act like you can just put one thing on your team and then you're set to beat SwagPlay. But then what do you have to beat Stall, beat Offense, give you Speed control, Hazard control, things to stop the 700 Pokemon already around. It is fucking hard to build a team of just 6 Pokemon to deal with literally everything else, and adding something as incredibly difficult to deal with as Prankster SwagPlay into the mix is just impossible to deal with.
