Real talk, Light Screen and Reflect should become +1-priority moves. A lot of non-offensive moves should, but let's focus on Light Screen and Reflect first

I agree, or they should work like sucker punch - go first if pokemon is attacked that turn.

Prankster got enough moves to work with. In a very offensive meta however, it pays to give defensive move some priority

They would probably be overpowered in that case and would need to be nerfed somehow (either duration or damage reduction). Screens are good moves as is.

That’s fucking retarded. Screens are already incredibly strong on Meowstic and Grimmsnarl and you just want to slap that onto every Pokémon?

It's not that Prankster doesn't work if there is an opposing Dark-type Pokemon; it's that the opposing Dark-type Pokemon is immune to Prankster-boosted moves that directly target it, such as Nature Power or Fake Tears. The user can still use boosting moves or status moves that don't affect the target, such as screens.

Dynamax is the worst, and I really mean the worst gimmick ever introduced to the franchise. Wouldn't miss it when the next gen roles out. As a matter of fact, GF should stop with new gimmicks all together

Fine, what do you mean? How does it benefit both opponents on a battle, if not by making annoying stall tactics far more viable

Why would you want to break a reasonably balanced mechanic, just for Smogon to ban it into the ground immediatley?
