I know this is a shitposting thread but the reason this battle is long is because zss can't setup dragapult because of ditto and rotom heat can't break past seismitoad while bape's offensive core of Darm/Dragapult/Clef can't easily break past toxapex/rotom heat/mandibuzz without outplaying the fuck out of him.

I haven’t played swsh ou yet, but the left guys teams looks like semi stall and the rights looks like balance. Any battle involving stall team usually go 60+ turns unless someone forfeits, or someone just obliterates the other guy. So get good, or just use a team that counters stall.
>side note
I once saw a match go 2000+ turns a few years back in gen 6. People are sadly willing to do anything to climb the ladder.

Stallfags are subhuman trash without any skill and they fume when you say you need 0 skill to play stall. Balance used to be great fun gen7, but swish has too few poke to be able to play balance well. I like HO this gen, with one or two setup sweepers to obliterate stall.

This fuck is only presenting 1 instance of stall v stall fight.
Any other type of matches doesn't take nearly as much turns if you aren't a pussy brainlet.

Pokemon fucked up by giving recovery moves to bulky type.
Back in gen 1 Recovery was in relatively frail Pokemon like Alakazam and Starmie.

When you call clefable and draga your offensive core, how can you expect to be threatening? What smogontards call "semi stall" is pure retardeness and should be called just stall, because it's what it does, barely any offensive presence.

Nah, recovery is fine, it's just that OU meta smogontards decides they wanted when they ban everything and anything offensive. Only 60+ turns is enough to show a smogontard skill.
