That’s just how Unovan pokemon are. Unova wasn’t invaded by KANTOOO Pokemon meaning Unovan pokemon were allowed to flourish to the point of being the most meta-defining and consistent Pokémon.

Don't blame the Pokémon, blame the mechanics. With access to Clear Smog and Rage Powder, Amoongus sounds like a decent pick up front. The issue is that the games do not enforce a Sleep Clause and there are so few things that actually negate powder and specifically Sleep. Need more proof? Looked what happened to Dark Void, what two of the 4 terrains prevent (which is mostly irrelevant in formats where the terrains are not a byproduct of using a specific Pokémon), and to a certain extent how sleep worked in PLA.
If there was specifically a Sleep Clause, I think you would see a lot more Nuzzle/Discharge combos because this would make Paralysis the most consistent and useful status.

I don't play Smogon formats at all, let alone use Showdown. I am going off of what I experienced in early gen games to now, Stadium 1 & 2 as well as Colosseum had Sleep Clauses.

Sleep Clause is a very simple rule that could be added to battles in the Stadium games where you cannot have more than one Pokémon asleep on a team at one time.

Oh, that sounds like it would be a good rule in a metagame where it's 1v1 and you had to waste a turn waking up from sleep, and also the limit for sleeping wasn't 2-3 turns.

It sounds funny but it’s weird how true it is

Unova
>went out of its way to distance itself from Kanto
>gets to have the most new Pokémon ever
>have survived powercrept the best to the point were some like Lando are essentially immune to powercreep
>Gen 5 Pokémon even got to have a VGC meta all to themselves
>fire starter gets the one if the best movepoool in the game even getting water coverage
>grass starter gets one of the best abilities in the game
>legends starter gets a special snowflake abilt ans a special snowflake signature move that sets up spikes for free

Johto
>literally attached to Kanto
>smallest amount of new Pokémon until Gen6
>pretty much defined solely by its shitmons and worhless baby Pokémon
>absolute bodied by powercreep to the point where even Tyranitar, one of the former best Pokémon in the game, is now an RU shitmon and barely scraping by in VGC
>aren’t even allowed to shine ingame because for every 1 johto pokemon there are 20 KANTOO Pokémon jumping out at you first
>fire starter gets the one if the worst movepools in the game
>grass starter gets one of the worst abilities in the game
>Legends Starter gets Frisk in an open meta because fuck you

What does that tell you?

Sleep is just a flat out busted status. If you are put to sleep you should wake up when you take direct damage. there, now sleep can function as something you can use to get some free turns of switching out, setting up, getting a sub/screens up, etc. Exception to this obviously being Rest, which shouldn't change, hell you could even make a new condition for it called "deep sleep" similar to how we have poison/badly poisoned.

Honestly Drowsy seems like it'd be a suitable replacement for sleep.

Seems like it could definitely add some layers to the game if it replaced sleep.

not sure what they did in PLA but when you say this it makes complete sense that any sound move should wake up all sleeping pokemon on the field

Physical electric moves erased drowsy if I remember right. Also I agree sound based moves should wake up Pokemon, if not the turn of use the next one.
