A recent battle made me realize speed is way too important in Pokemon.

Trick Room is a beautiful thing

It was an online battle. Time to change my team up. Perhaps I need Sticky Web support.

I think what caused Speed Creep are hard hitting Pokemon with wide coverage/movepools.

Was it doubles? I use a 252 def/252 sp def Sassy Tangrowth partnered with Oranguru.

>Have Tangrowth use Rage Powder to ensure Oranguru can set up Room
>Switch out Tangrowth and switch in Rampardos
>Oranguru sets up Reflect meanwhile
>Rampardos wrecks shit, backed by Instruct shenanigans

I have only ever used this in the Tree. YMMV

I always see people say the ability would be broken in Doubles but how about if it worked like this

Field Warper - Sets a different Room effect based on how many Pokemon are out
2 or less - Trick Room
3 - Magic Room
4 or more if Triples return - Wonder Room

I'm not saying GF would do this, because they clearly wouldn't.

GF would probably just make a simple auto Trick Room and watch it send Doubles into chaos with nowhere to run because Tapus already raped Singles' corpse

Just use Scarf Pheromosa and you'll never have to worry about speed

What if Speed worked more like it did in old Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games, where being faster only increased your likelihood of moving first instead of absolutely dictating turn order? Like, a Pokemon with 300 Speed might have a 10% chance of moving before one with 320 Speed?

Garchomp is honestly bulky enough to take at least a hit unresisted, once you don't have a reliable Ice Shard and the pressure ramps up, playing around it becomes necessary/saving some sort of wall

Pheromosa doesn't run Choice Scarf because of speed creep.

It's so it can manipulate the stat numbers for Beast Boost

That's not how you solve the problem though. You solve the problem by making sure that Pokemon that are extremely fast don't have movepools that are too wide or abilities that are too good for their role and other shit I don't want to get into right now. Why is Game Freak so ass backwards and lazy when it comes to balancing? They always do things in extremes. It's like they don't know what moderation is.
