>>30822852They actually almost did back in Gen 6 with priority, having multiple priority brackets, stronger mid damage level priority attacks and priority status was what cucked the hell out of fast, strong and bulky sweepers.
I don't think you can change much else short of just straight up redoing the battle mechanics/gameplay system so simply outspeeding something isn't so gamebreaking anymore.
Some fucking hack of a designer decided not to nerf priority but completely destroy it and render it unviable. Psychic Terrain is fucking overpowered simply removing the priority would've been fine, outright negating EVERY move and giving double STAB to Psychic is stupid. Dark types being utterly immune to Prankster specifically is silly. Making Gale Wings a useless ability by requiring full HP instead of just giving it a Weak Knees effect was unnecessary.
You know what would check all those 100+ speed stuff which are also way too fat for how strong and fast they were and are rampaging around? That's right it was priority the ability to give one last fuck you to a sweeper with a paralysis or burn or the ability to pick off something which got super lucky surviving at 2% because of a shitty damage roll.
