    An IV booster item would be nice to make the gift mons actually worth using, or trading X amount of these matchmaking/gift mons to get Prismatic Pearls would be super helpful.

  21. Pretty much reiterating what was said in the OU discussion thread but there's no reason to add a flash mechanic to this item. It's easy to counter-argue and say "well now that we know Player A has this item, we can just focus on making other plays". That's counter-intuitive. We have options to scout for items or annoy the foe's mons with Frisk or Trick. This is the first time that I'm hearing about Fake Out being an issue but haven't heard about it being a problem prior to February. I understand the item can be annoying to deal with when realizing they're not getting impacted by secondary effects, but that's part of the game and choices/factors you have to consider when playing. As mentioned before, it's all about fishing for information during the match. This goes for pretty much other moves and items as well. If heavy duty boots ever becomes a thing, do we need to start flashing that item too? If there's no need to put down rocks, then why click it when we can save ourselves an extra turn knowing that mon is going to be healthy anyways? Lame example I know, but that's how this discussion sounds right now. Either ban the item if it's broken or keep it as its intended design. Side Note: King's Rock / Quick Claw doesn't need to be flashed as well. People complained about King's Rock before because of the multi-strike hits having a chance to flinch with it, but it got nerfed prior-to or on top of the flashing mechanic. The reason why no one complains about these is because it's not that viable due to the nerf and low chance of actually being able to use these effects/items.

  23. Bruh this thread was from two years ago. Majority of the players weren't familiar with these items yet and it was all speculation. There hasn't been any complaints from the recent posts in here.
  24. They're still in the learnset unless this was during the first ban which I don't remember and was probably a few years ago, but both SD/Draco is still used in DB.
  25. I haven't really used the item that much but I liked the element of surprise it provided, just like figuring out whether a mon is banded, scarf, or AV (Gallade in doubles for example). Or when someone brings a TR team but you're not sure if one of their mons is carrying Mental Herb or not while it hasn't been chipped yet. It's not like Fake Out was only viable turn 1. It's all about figuring out what info you can get during the match. I don't really see why it got nerfed just because people can't prevent Tailwind or TR getting set up right away, or not being able to flinch something in our beloved hax-format.

  28. Why does it feel like people get banned based on assumptions nowadays with vague "evidence"? Whatever criteria is used for determining ladder abuse needs to be reworked or just simply have battle logs reviewed by multiple staff before punishing someone. Especially when there's leagues/events going on and that impacts their gameplay since ban appeals can take a while to be reviewed. Hope this gets sorted out for you, good luck man.
  29. Why would something like this get patched though? The raid itself is straight cancer anyways.

    Seeing this screenshot is crazy compared to what Art got in the response below. Some generic copy-paste response after he wrote out a whole explanation, took responsibility, and apologized. He even asked for a temporary ban instead of a perma ban because it was his first offense. Anyone would be frustrated if some of kind of support regardless of whether it's a game or not says this without any form of discussion or receiving some kind of closure:
