Hell no, it'd break the already pretty damn strong Dragonite alongside Volc and it'd make people play mostly stall just to have safe answers to them.

Is this bias guy the hacker that's making me lose my games? How do I contact him?

I just played for a bit and I can safely say I've never seen so many freezes happen that often. I'm pretty sure it was four continuous matches with freezes happening from random ice punches and beams

Please do this so I can get my Shedinja team to 100% win rate and dodge every time I see sand. Upboated.

Then you switch in something that forces it to switch to something besides the thing it wants to heal. It should be predictable. Again this entire scenario is incredibly loose because we're talking about a defensive support that relies on its partners and there's a myriad of things it could switch into and there's a myriad of things you could switch into to abuse both it and whatever it has in the back. In that specific scenario you mentioned you're on the backfoot when it comes to momentum, you're now in front of a huge momentum sink that is going to do something predictable, this is where your teambuilding is put to the test. How do you regain your footing? What is your win condition? There's too many variables.

If I send out a special attacker that I know is a free switch in for Chansey and they have something they want to heal I already know their entire battle plan I can double and abuse that switch in. This explains your entire rationale, you only think of turns in a void instead of having an entire well thought plan to apply pressure defensive teams, something you'd see in action were you to play stall yourself and see how good players make use of their turns against you. Play stall.

I seldom use said Chansey combo, it's not my toy. In fact in this patch I think I have 0 teams that use it. But when I fight it I see a huge, fat, predictable momentum sink that allows me to dictate the flow of the game so I don't think it's broken. The fact that you compare something that needs at least 3 turns to be effective to something that can instakill 80% of the OU metagame in one turn and say it's even more busted than it speaks volumes though. That post you quoted was aimed at Caio btw

What's happening here is you've spent two years shitting up the forums like your daily diet is nothing but laxatives talking about how overpowered this playstyle is, defending the most cancerous garbage imaginable like King's Rock Cloyster so you know damn well that if you try it out and have poor results with it in front of everyone, all of your arguments will vanish like smoke.

You play stall I want to see you Not your friend, not your friend's friend, not your brother, not your cat, not your dog, you.

I think he means since Wish is a gen3 event move and Teleport is obtained from the virtual release in the 3DS so it's an impossible combination

Cool now you can click Dark Pulse against Bugcatcher Steve and that's about it.

Cause they are busted for PVE instances, they'd have to redo the league, gyms and everything else so everything can deal with specs kyogre and everything else.

Every recovery move should be turned back to 16pp tbh

Dark was buffed after Fairy was added and Steel stopped resisting it though. Dragons aren't overpowered in mmo.

Didn't read but i agree with all of it now, or not if you changed your opinion

Actually I just realized how cringe it'd be to fight Dnite and Chomp in the same team, nvm I pull the plug on this

The problems were from the defensive side a lack of counterplay forcing stuff like Mandibuzz and Umbreon into OU just to have the mere chance to click Foul Play if they have enough hp to live a hit and the ubiquitous Sand Veil that would give it a slim chance of denying any attempts at countering it given it didn't have its HA which affected both offense and defense. On top of that the meta has shifted towards an environment where it's much harder for it to set up freely for it. In this case it'd be useful to have the usage data of certain moves on Pokemon to see how it's objectively split but I've personally seen more Icicle Spear in use for Mamoswine. The usage of it would in fact deter the use of Yache berry making it less of a must have item causing it to diversify. Sub SD was a strong set and it didn't utilize yache either. Starmie's popularity skyrocketed after Multiscale Dnite was released it was nowhere near as used as today. Sableye is still a fairly good pick against a myriad of fighting types and the ever threatening Reuniclus. So it stops a clean sweep? It puts it to sleep and Clear Smogs doesn't it? Hidden Power Ice is commonly used in BW OU too, they're not empty, you just can't see them. I insist that in this meta Garchomp would not easily sweep a large portion of the metagame and as such it does not meet the criteria for offensive uber.

I'm doing a hunger strike until Gengar's ability is changed to Levitate and recovery PP is buffed to how it was before Scarlet and Violet

Play it yourself. I'm willing to loan you the comps if needed.

If you have issues with stall you should actually play it. You'll see how blatant its weaknesses are when playing other people in higher elos.

Speaking of Swords Dance Garchomp. I do believe it would be alright to test it now. Since it was banned the meta has shifted towards a more Dragonite centered meta with a lot of Pokemon focused on dealing with it and has added a lot more HAs to the mix as well. Icicle Spear Weavile and Mamoswine have become OU staples being able to easily bypass Yache Berry, Starmie has also become a common pairing with Dragonite heavily limiting Garchomp's sweeps with Ice Beam and Dragonite itself has acquired Multiscale allowing it to have the luxury of staying in front of a Garchomp as well as living (Under very ideal conditions of course) a +2 Dragon Claw to revenge kill it. Serperior has the ability to come in and cripple it with Glare if not revenge kill as well. Defensive play has gained Unaware Quagsire, capable of taking any hit this set has as well as Sableye who can Encore and cripple with Will-o-Wisp and Amoonguss can switch and Spore or Clear Smog it in a pinch too. For that reason I do believe it'd be fine to at the very least test the state of Swords Dance Garchomp in this OU environment as it is far different and way more hostile to it than the early DPP meta.

Nobody cares about your 400 elo average tournament, lil bro.

LOL Just use the GOOD Suicune counter I'm not going to say what it is nor ever show it in a game though

Elaborate

By a slight margin in my eyes but yes. Though the only legendaries we could get that favor offense more by a large margin are the musketeers or genies.
