instead of complaining about things being hard to counter you have to think of the ways you could counter them. research moves and abilities

You play something else, competitive Pokemon sucks because unless you're playing against literal children, you HAVE to follow the meta to get anywhere. No point in being experimental with teams when everyone is running shit like Mega Metagross or Mega Salamence every match.

Limit each team to only one Legendary/Mythical/ Uber type, or 2 OU types with no Uber, and hope the rest be lower tier mons that hopefully add some variety back.

Idk. I care about my OU rank but whenever I try sub-optimal strats I lose too much ELO. I actually have more fun in lower ranks like PU now since odd stuff is a little more likely to fly.

You are the biggest dumbass ITT.
Evasion is banned because it's not fun to fight evasion stall, and because it forces you to run subpar moves just to counter it.
And if you think the same people who crush you every time you play on ladder won't if evasion wasn't banned you are an even bigger dumbass.
>inb4 "B-BUT WHY ISN'T HAZARDS BANNED BECAUSE IT FORCES YOU TO RUN RAPID SPIN/DEFOG
With out hazards tons of threats will rise in the meta, and would ruin the singles meta even more.

Not him, but I actually think there would be some merit to a tiered meta that still allows everything that is legal on the cart, like evasion, no sleep clause, Baton Pass, etc. Kind of like VGC but without the Uber dominance because of tiers. Does stuff like that exist on Showdown?

watch the video in the post at the top of this thread. Unaware and No gaurd are fantastic counters to evasion. no gaurd means you can counter evasion with high base power moves like Dynamic Punch. Unaware ignores all stat modifications in addition to evasion. having Unaware on your team will be hepful in general

Restrict it to custom rentmon
Nintendo is seriously letting PKS get away with making their battle sin for them. I guess because if Nintendo sued they'd be forced to actually make a game like PKS where you can tweak and be dropped in tiers and so on and so forth. After all, they can't even make a game with all the Pokemon.

(Holy shit Showdown is a web game and it'll still have all the Pokemon)

You do realize that video is a joke right? He agrees with evasion ban.
>Unaware and No gaurd are fantastic counters to evasion
And most Pokemons who have those abilities are either bad vs evasion stall, or are subpar Pokemon them self.

You actually want to play stall and fat shit all fucking day if you don't want rocks.

Rocks being up rewards good players and makes the game more fun by helping offensive teams break through more fat teams.

Honestly I assume anyone who doesn't like rocks is hardstuck 1300 elo using their zard, volcarona, Articuno, Moltres, Delibird and Sawk.

literally don't play like each other at all. Yes there is some roster overlap which is inevitable but they are completely different tiers.

but winning against tards that use landorus, chansey, and clefary with swords dance meganium with salac berry or priority killer hitmon chan is reeally satisfying
