>>33667010What's the point of this reddit-tier image compilation? Smogon formats are almost impossible to play effectively outside of Showdown due to nigh impossible-to-get movesets and unenforceable clauses. And as
>>33667053 pointed out, you could just Capsule it if you cared so much.
Sand Veil was banned ages ago because of almost strictly Gliscor, and it was a mistake in not banning it earlier because it might have saved Chomp. It's an ability that narrowly made its way around the evasion clause, a clause that was put in place because strategies that revolve around your opponents low-rolling evade rolls suck.
In fact, idk if it'd even be banned nowadays. Sure, Chomp and Gliscor still have it, but they also have Rough Skin and Poison Heal, abilities that are almost objectively better (and Gliscor sees almost 0 play thanks to Lando and SM mons). The only reason it wasn't unbanned is because it really isn't an ability that brings anything healthy to the format.
But beyond all this
