>>53180869Evasion and accuracy chicanery ends up just being bad manners. Thats its problem. One double team could theoretically win you an entire game just based on dice rolls.
Its simply uninteresting and doesn't require any planning to pull off. To be countered it just requires using the many ---% accuracy attacks that are all generally low power. Turning beating the strategy into a slog and not a challenging one.
ParaFlinch is different from say, putting Bright Powder and Double Team on a monster, because it requires set up. You have to get that Thunder Wave, and you have to use a monster with Serene Grace and then rely on less than 100% accuracy moves like Air Slash. It can easily backfire on you and can be played around skillfully without making everything a drag.
What is so hard about accepting that GameFreak clearly wants the game to be played in a quick and offensive manner, rather than anything like 'balance' or 'stall'?
Was them gutting Stall strats widely not proof of that? Just play the game they want you to. Stop banning everything so your fanfiction is allowed to work as you wish it did, instead of how it actually does.
