Most people defending trio just pointing the obvious, it's true that trio is shit vs some archetypes, but against the other half it's a 100% win condition.

Trio impact in the half of matchups is just too high compared with other mons, and thats why it should go.

The thing I really don't like about arena trap is that it limits the whole tier, forcing people to having an extra answer to not get sweept by Toge or other mon after your counter dies trapped, so in high ranks we always play against the same spammed strats which becomes boring af.
 
Something simillar to Draco hydre, which made some mons and playstile really bad like shao and rain, both mons kills diversity and are unhealty.
 
Imagine starting a match and you already know you have 0% chance to win, even with a good balance team and playing perfect, arena trap is the only ability that reward people with 0 skill, they only need to know which mon to trap, nothing more.
 

Probably TC fault also, the worst we've had in years, dugtrio still there and gallade still untouched.
Games must be continously updating to keep people interested, even if changes are not too good, but they haven't done anything. 
3 votes vs 3 votes while deciding trio fate, wtf was that, are we in politics now, democrats vs republicans.

Season 16
 
 
NEW: A shorter, more action packed season NEW: Managers are NOT allowed to play, but will have more ways to support/interact throughout the season NEW: The auction is gone, draft style format that spreads the hype out over a draft week. No longer requiring all managers to be present at a given time NEW: Salty suite returns, drama is encouraged NEW: Advantage chips/Manager power plays to be earned  NEW: Underdog fund ADJUSTED: The top 4 teams go to playoffs instead of 6. ADJUSTED: 6 Managers will be handpicked, two manager spots will be sold for additional prize money REMOVED: Showdown tiers REMOVED: Extensions REMOVED: Weekend substitutions  
 
Welcome to the General Thread of PSL Season 16. The PokeMMO Super League (PSL) is a team-based event where the best competitors face each other weekly to claim a grand prize. Players will be draft-selected by one of eight managers of the season and integrate a team that will aim to win the PSL crown. Once the teams are formed, the competition begins.
 
There are two phases to the event: the regular season and the playoffs. Based on their performance during the regular round-robin season, each team will head into the playoffs single elimination bracket with some advantages or disadvantages.
 
Each week, managers will submit a tier-based lineup of players that will face an opposing team’s lineup.
 
The PSL 16 tiers are:
Host
Players
Draft
Managers
Competition
Regular Season + Playoffs
Lineup
 
Activity Wins
 
Trading
Donations
NEW: Advantage chips
NEW Rules
 
No spoiler to make this clear to everyone. There will now be a substitution deadline of Thursday at 23:59 EST. No substitutions will be allowed after this window (outside of the emergency sub chip detailed above). Managers it is your responsibility to ensure that your player has submitted availability and will fight to ensure this is not an issue
 
Disconnect rule - In the event a disconnect occurs, one of two things will happen - If the disconnect happens in preview or during round 1, the battle will restart with both opponents making the same selections. - If the disconnect happens during round 2 or later, the disconnected user will receive a loss and no rematch will occur.
 
NEW: Salty Suites

This is a patch that changes ALL the battle backgrounds in game to ones shown in the video/screenshots. This also comes with the No battle ground mod by @efeburc
[NEW]: Additionally I've added a new patch that replaces the surf model with Lapras. It doesn't include any battle background changes.

Night Beach
Sunset Beach
Galaxy
Park
Surfing Lapras

Installation:
1. For PC users: Download xdelta: https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/598/
    For Android users: UniPatcher from the Google Play Store
2. Open xdeltaUI.exe
3. For the Patch file select the appropriate game version patch (White Patch for Pokemon White and Black Patch for Pokemon Black)
4. For the Source file select the ROM you use to play Pokemmo with (it has to be an unpatched USA rom of Black or White [5585 Pokemon Black/5584 Pokemon White] or else the patch will likely not work)
5. Output file name it and make sure to add .nds at the end of the filename > click Patch.
6. Open Pokemmo's LOGIN Screen > Client Management > Black/White Rom > Select your patched ROM> After selecting your ROM Pokemmo will close and the mod is now installed!
 
If you load into game and still don't see the background, look in Pokemmo settings Video section and see if "Show Battle Background" is checked.
 
The mod is safe to use, you will not get banned for using it. You cannot use two different backgrounds at the same time. These are imports from Black & White 2 battle backgrounds (from the Movie mini-game).

I would like to give special thanks to @cloo for their documentation/publication/general help. @efeburc for their No battle ground mod/publication help. Lastly @Smooge for shedding light on Battle background modding and getting me started on this journey. I'm currently working on getting fully custom battle backgrounds in game and provide a guide for it but until then enjoy these imports I've selected. 🙂

If you have any questions you can post in the thread or ask me on Discord: guaychow

Most people defending trio just pointing the obvious, it's true that trio is shit vs some archetypes, but against the other half it's a 100% win condition.
Duels should be decided by skilled players, not by the ones who preffer some easy wins with match up fishing.
 
Trio impact in the half of matchups is just too high compared with other mons, and thats why it should go.

This is one of the times I will have to begrudgingly agree with caio here (and by extension, the rest of those who hold a similar stance).
 
Dugtrio learning Endeavor allows it to become far more oppressive and reduces the number of possible checks to a fraction of its current size.
 
Got a pesky bulky flying type that can easily counter or check you? Now you don't need to rely on a 100BP rock type move with a 20% chance to miss, just endeavor after trapping one of your teammates checks and get another mon free of charge!
 
Now people have a sure fire way to obtain a free kill after capitalizing on trapping a mon with something like Endeavor + Sucker Punch without risking going for EQ damage rolls. The only way one can possibly check this mon is to have a pokemon with priority to revenge kill AFTER dugtrio has already taken out one of your walls. I can already imagine the faces of the Dugtrio users that now don't have to rely on moves like Reversal to be somewhat relevant.
 
Sure, you have other arguments made that I didn't find particularly well made to justify banning Dugtrio such as pointing to past meta-games with uniquely different context as precedence for a ban but this new addition kind of pushes Duggie, and even Diglett, over the edge.
 
I have to capitulate and change my stance to move for a BAN on Dugtrio (more so the evolution line if possible) but I do want to see how people will run Dugtrio after this new move addition so don't make a decision yet.

The base of the game is about switching, arena trap prevents that, and you can't do anything to prevent it, so is broken, simple as that.
