DAILY REMINDER

>Dynamax is not broken and smogonalgas banned it because stall could not adapt to it

>The smogon council is biased and bans offensive pokemon like darmanitan, cinderace, dugtrio and dracovish, while stallmons like ferrothorn, who see much more usage in ubers, are kept

>Smogon has not removed sand veil and swagger bans despite Gamefreak nerfing them in generation 6

>In generation 7 the ou council assured that landorus therian would not be banned even if it reached more than 95% usage

>Smogon has banned the moody ability even though it doesn't boost evasion anymore, because it threatens stall

>Evasion is not overpowered and can easily be countered by taunt, haze, roar, or moves like swift

>Stealth rocks are the most stall inducing move in the metagame, since it offers reliable and consistent chip damage to something as common and key as switching

>Heavy duty boots has been the most anti stall item in singles that the franchise has ever introduced, since it prevents damage from the most common status move used by stall. Of cousre a lot of smogontards are in a favor of banning it

>The move Baton Pass was banned from all smogon metagames because stall was completely unviable against baton pass supported sweepers

>Something not many people know is that the elo system in pokemon showdown doesn't mainly depend on you're winning ratio, but on the ammount of turns you're won battles take. So higher elo rated players are not better, just play longer battles, aka stall

>The VGC bans being based on the top 10 pokemon is something much more objective than the council quickbans decided by 5 normies or their elitistic suspects, were only a small minority of high elo players can vote. That's why a lot of things like dynamax had +90% pro ban vote, only stall users could vote.

Smogonerds will defend this

Fuck off zoomer, Gen 4 is based and I'm sorry you had to miss out on the peak of Pokemon.
