It's been shown and stated multiple that Vikavolt's movement speed is fast, but its attacking speed is low because it has to charge up a railgun.

>If it carries a Charjabug to use as a spare battery, a flying Vikavolt can rapidly fire high-powered beams of electricity.

Wild Vikavolt can carry Charjabug around to bypass this weakness

No. Trick Room isn't a "playstyle", it's used for speed control.

Not about the slow frail shitmon. Weather can get extended, terrain can get extended, but not rooms? Yes, it's a gimmick, but I would like it to last a bit longer with my slow frail shitmon who's racking up KO's.

Because the effects of the Rooms can ruin a lot more mons than weather or terrains. Wonder Room tells walls to go fuck themselves.

The "rooms" are meant to be situational.

That's why unlike weather and terrain, "rooms" can be cancelled just by using it again.

And Magic Room completely shuts down any Pokemon that relies on an item (aka most of them)

The effects of rooms are simply too broken to be anything more than situationa moves.

>They cant be THAT retarded, can they?
Oh yes they are.

>Chikorita being absolutely fucked over in its own fucking region full of Bug-time Pokémon
>Meganium and Typhlosion's movepools
>rock and ice being nerfed with the introduction of Steel which also made Fighting-type Pokémon more common, making things worse for Rock and Ice. No buffs were made to compensate.
>expected for Aegislash to be used as a defensive physical attacker
>all of the SFMAs in gen 3
>expected for Aromatisse to be a staple for Trick Room teams
>Tyrantrum not having any Rock or Dragon-type biting moves to make use of the then-new-and-exclusive Strong Jaw because? (and it still doesn't because?)
>Fairy being introduced in gen 6 making Ice absolutely irrelevant with no new resistances added
>Aurorus being a defensive Pokémon despite having a shitty typing BECAUSE VGC BALANCING HURR HURR HURR (fuck you)
>Amaura and Aurorus not being able to learn Power Gem because? (still can't)
>Amaura and Aurorus not being able to learn Aurora Veil in gen 7, the gen the move was introduced (but Delibird could learn it because that Pokémon had more to do with the Aurora Borealis than Aurorus apparently. Fucktard Game Freak strikes again because Masuda is a cuck!)
>midnight form Lycanroc learning Counter
>Kommo-o not being able to learn Close Combat in gen 7 (fixed in USUM)
>Zamazenta being absolutely SHIT compared to Zacian
>Fisheous Rend and Bolt Beak being blatantly OP
>Dragapult not being able to learn Shadow Claw because?
>cinderace having Protean 2.0 with a movepool that was blatantly designed to take advantage of it
>Frosmoth's typing and the Pokémon being slow because they clearly haven't learned at all
>Galarian Darmanitan having an OP ability that is essentially a free Choice Band, that can be stacked with another Choice Band for that juicy VGC balancing while
>Eiscue having a gimmick ability which demonstrates that Game Freak keeps skirting around Ice's actual problem

>Drednaw's signature move (Jaw Lock) being a DARK-type move even though the Pokémon is WATER/ROCK. Is Game Freak worried that *gasp* Tyrantrum and Drednaw being able to have a STAB move boosted by Strong Jaw will ruin the VGC? Oh noes please have mercy on Pikachu and Eevee noooooooooooooooooooooo!
