Because competitive is a fucking joke. Not just pokemon, but competitive anything.

The people who are obsessed with competitive pokemon think it's the hardest shit ever when in reality it's not at all if you have any basic understanding of type match ups, priority, and number crunching.

My argument against competitive games:

M-Sableye is objectively the best lead in OU. When there's a default best lead 'mon, you know competitive is in a shit spot. All of the top ELO players use stall, nothing else is remotely as viable, it's not fun and it's not diverse, it's smogon.

Serene grace is really not that big of a deal. The only mons in OU that have it are Jirachi and Chansey, and Chansey will never use it anyway. You're right about yellow magic and scald though.
>Stealth rock being so good that weak types suffer more than they already do
Some pokemon do well even with a weakness to stealth rock, like Talonflame and Zard-Y. Besides, like OP said, it make stall less powerful.
>Stupid bans (e. Grenigger without Protean and blaziken without speed boost are still banned)
Smogon doesn't like complex bans. If you started doing that, it would just open a slippery slope of people wanting to ban a certain moveset for a pokemon, with a different moveset being in another tier. I think you can understand why that would be a problem.

Smogon's not perfect, but it's nowhere near as bad as some say it is.

in what world do you live in where you have both have Stealth Rock down and time to setup on something as frail and slow and generally shit as Crawdaunt? You're listing nothing but best case scenarios right down to the EV spreads. He will die to a single mach punch, or get his life orb knocked off, or be burned, long before he gets a single crabhammer off.

lmao these are terrible vs Sableye, all of them will get stealth rock set up on them, and with the exception of Charizard can easily be burned (I'm not even going to acknowledge the fact you listed Volcanion, lmao), in Charizard's case he's already dead b/c sneaky pebbles are down and he won't manage to do shit vs Sableye unless he is Charizard-Y, which is both predictable and trash.

Right now with about 500 or so battles I have 80% GXE and 1700s ranking. On my alt I have easily achieved top 50 in OU before. You are probably some dumb 1300s shitter. I will provide proof if necessary but honestly just shut the fuck up.

Why? That's a very common move on mega Sableye on stall teams. It lets Sableye mega evolve safely, even against Fairy-type leads, and aids in scouting and racking up status damage.

If SR are down then they must remove them asap, giving you a free turn, notice most of those are not even taking SR into account.

Yeah it's frail, that's a given. It's got enough speed to be faster than everything listed there, go calc. And Crawdaunt is UU, UU pokemon are not shit, they just don't see enough usage.
>You're listing nothing but best case scenarios right down to the EV spreads
Those spreads are literally the standards sets on smogon. Obviously I did not post things like Scarf Lando because that's obviously going to KO it with a single glare.

Stall is 5 mons that are assembled to resist the majority of the tier and establish chip damage over time while preventing opponents from chipping them. The sixth may also be something like that or a trapper/sweeper.

Ttar is not a stall mon, that is ridiculous. Ttar does not have good recovery and hardly walls many things for very long. It functions as a support mon regardless and a wallbreaker/sweeper (banded/scarfed, respectively). It can also trap as well.

Balance is effectively made of bulky support mons with offensive power mons, so yes, it fits the definition of balance perfectly. Lopunny is not a stallmon. Excadrill is not a stall mon. Tyranitar is not a stall mon. If you continue to claim this you know little of the ORAS meta.

Jokes aside Ttar is not a stall staple, it's offensive abilities and chances of switching in on some mons and destroying them completely is valuable on several playstyles. Ttar can visit the Stall Motel, but it's only a one night stand, Ttar is the belle of the office and she will enjoy one night stands with his coworkers bulky offense and HO every once in a while, heck she will probably NTR Hazard offense if she drinks chopple Berry juice after work, but most of the time you will find Ttar fooling around at boss balance pool while she wears just a scarf to appease boss Balance kinks.

Competitive is broken because Gen 6 had terrible balance. The top players in all the official tourneys use teams that are 90% identical, so it's not just Smogon. Knock Off and Scald need to be nerfed. Hopefully there will be something to counter the genies in SM too.

Actually they got tired of all the stall so they are doing "suspect" with an insane requirement to actually get in. Only to most fedora-tipping of fedora tippers can get in.

It's basically an outright ban pretending to be a suspect test.

Still setting up SD in a forced switch is unreliable as fuck, CB offers immediate power that actually lets him beat its targets more consistently with little prediction.

Sd LO packs a big punch, but you do require that set up, CB is just an immediate crunch/crab hammer/knock off to the face that destroys stall.

If we judge by consistency CB wins by a large margin.

Shame. I might actually give up on voting since without M-Sableye everyone just uses M-Medicham. The stall issue would be fixed if there wasn't a Pokemon that automatically invalidated 90% of a certain attacking type rather than an incredibly safe magic bouncer.

Is there any reasoning for this clause instead of just reverting to the old/singles sleep clause? From what I read a while ago, it was a few names just complaining "waaah, we are prepared for sleep powder/spore, this is uncompetitive."
I think if this kind of shit was being pulled in one of their more popular formats, people would actually kick up a fuss (such as when Contrary Serp was released and PU banned Contrary+Serp, instead of banning it outright, followed immediately by more experienced staff fixing it).
