>>37292659>needing to have a dedicated "lead" on your team limits teambuilding and it allows you to more reliably overcome a bad team matchup which makes the game more competitiveThere's nothing wrong with dedicated leads. They're not inherently better than no dedicated lead, it is Focus Sash which incentivizes this.
Focus Sash should be banned or removed from the game, as it is far too powerful an item on hyper offense and when there are no entry hazards.
>>37292537Giving an evolution to a Pokémon like Qwilfish would have everyone just run Eviolite Qwil instead. So now they gave us temporary evolutions
No Pokemon benefited more from Eviolite than Chansey, and few Pokemon are so much better as intermediates + Eviolite. Rhydon + Eviolite and Rhyperior + no item are a wash. This explanation doesn't hold up at all.
>>37292678>Illusion would be absolutely broken without team preview to know a zoroark is on the team.Zoroark is frail and slow by wallbreaker/sweeper standards. After the introduction of Fairy, there are only a small number of situations where it can win a game outright.
