Seriously though why did GameFreak make this item?
They don't care about singles.

The same reason they made items like Room Service and Blunder Policy. Niche, not too useful items you would use from time to time

There are many situational battle items in the game than doesn't get use on any format, this just happens to be good in a format they don't know.

Because someone at GF heard that Charizard sucks because of stealth rocks, not knowing that the context was singles or an unofficial meta.
This inspired GF to make heavy duty boots to buff their heckin Charizarderino.

How so? I thought stall was the one relying more on passive damage like rocks. Shouldn’t stallfags hate boots?

Offensive teams use SR just as much, is a one time move than remove sash and break sturdy and deals 7%-50% to a whole team so is become easier for your sweeper to do its job.

Quoted By:

Literally use knock off. Your entire strategy shouldn’t rely on hazards and if it does you deserve to get fucked. Spending an item slot on hazard avoidance is enough to balance it out, the opportunity cost is huge there. No life orb, no leftovers, no weakness policy, etc. If rapid spin isn’t a broken move then HDB isn’t a broken item

the argument is not "GF cares 0 about singles", it is that GF puts a tremendous amount of effort in the doubles meta comparatively.
