Gen 4 was objectively healthy for the meta and only a stallfag would disagree.
>PS split allowing basically everything to use its stabs
>Strong moves like Close Combat, Flare Blitz, Brave Bird, buff of moves like Outrage
>Stealth Rocks and toxic spikes, sure hazards are controversial but you can’t deny that it’s a great stall killer, there’s a reason why the only thing that can at least somewhat stall in gen 4 is Clefable
>HUGE influx of offensive items like choice scarf/specs, lorb, focus sash, wide lens, even the elemental boost items were buffed from 10% to 20%, before gen 4 all items were either stallshit or rngshit except choice band which doesn’t work on special attackers, seriously look at an Alakazam gen 3 set, advfags will defend this
>Fast sweepers like Garchomp, Weavile
Gen 4 is the high T meta
