>>30478184>your side trying to push that Rapid Spin/Defog wasn't necessary for those types.Except I literally never said that. Let me say the same thing over again but more slowly, maybe you'll understand this time.
The original argument was about whether Evasion moves/abilities like Minimize or Moody are balanced, and claimed that banning those but not banning SR was hypocrisy, because they're both cancer and equally banworthy
>>30466139However, this is completely wrong, because, as I said, while Stealth Rock is dangerous to certain specific teams that are built with specific Pokemon species weak to Stealth Rock, and can be RELIABLY mitigated by running Rapid Spin/Defog, evasion spam can be dangerous for teams with ANY Pokemon species, and whether or not Evasion actually takes effect is a matter of RNG, which is uncompetitive in nature.
Furthermore, while evasion can easily lose you an entire game thanks to multiple misses, Stealth Rock will only matter to the outcome of a game if it was either already very close and the damage tipped it over the edge, or you specifically built a team that was weak to Stealth Rock.
I said that running Rapid Spin/Defog is not necessary on every team in a meta where Stealth Rock is legal. Most teams don't have a defogger at all and win games just fine. But if you DO run a team that is weak to Stealth Rock, you're going to want a defogger. Just like any weakness, you should put other Pokemon on your team to mitigate it.
Now you will reply to me, misrepresent my argument again, and attack that, and I will reply with a repost of the same things you refuse to acknowledge. You will keep being a shitter and Stealth Rock will never be banned. Have fun.
