    Why can't it be an argument ? If Electrode makes screen teams usage rise, their counters will rise aswell, the fact that they exist IS an argument. Don't dismiss any argument that doesn't suit you, thank you. 

    The main problem with Whimsicott as a counter is that it's rendered completely useless when the opposing player has a dark type on their team. Drapion previously had high usage in screens cores because of this reason, as well as it just being generally well-suited for this kind of team.

    [UU Discussion] Dugtrio

    in Competition Archive

    Posted · Edited by Zymogen

    I really don’t understand how people can unironically say that Dugtrio wouldn’t run riot in OU like it has done in the lower tiers. I’m in agreement with Gb that it has the exact same function and impact no matter where it is. In OU it would be able to reliably remove 2 of the best checks to Togekiss in Magneton and Tyranitar. It would also heavily suppress many sweepers such as Gengar, Lucario, Weavile and Infernape depending on the items used. Outside of this, its access to memento can allow one of the many powerful OU sweepers to set up effectively for free with no consistent counter play. All of this is before we even consider pairing it with teleport.

     

    In UU it invalidates Empoleon and Gigalith which are the best checks to two of the strongest sweepers in Yanmega and P-Z, one of which is already borderline bannable. Not to mention that it also consistently traps and RKs sweepers such as Alakazam, Bisharp, Roserade, Medicham and Arcanine. 
     

    In NU it had more of an impact on sweepers than walls as it easily trapped and killed Drapion, Blaziken, Houndoom, Manectric, Magmortar and many more; giving the Dugtrio user an almost guaranteed revenge kill any time these mons stayed in to claim a kill. It was also a menace when memento was paired with setup sweepers such as Omastar and Bibarel. 

     

    It doesn’t take a genius to realise that arena trap is a problem and that it needs to be addressed to finally settle this discussion. LC isn’t recognised as an official tier anymore so we shouldn’t even be considering Trapinch in this discussion at all.

    Stay salty my friend, the fact that you're still heated after being straight up swept is feeding my ego.

     

    Better include this lesson in your thesis brudda.

    I don’t think your ego needs feeding, you’re acting like a god after playing like shit and getting lucky ?

     

    But, tis the game we play

    My main point was simply to update comps, the additional IVs was something I thought of whilst writing this thread but still, something that could be good. It could even be a seperate token.

     

    Here you see my mild Electrode, lol. It's x31, and mild. It's now piss poor since explode was nerfed some years back.

    And here, a calm Dusknoir which is now obsolete. Originally, it was a calm Dusclops but then Dusknoir was released making Dusclops useless. Calm on Dusknoir is obsolete with it having that useful attack stat, however, whilst eviolite was not here, it was the only option I had.

    A way to update these would be really useful to me. Not only that, people who obtain them and have no use would also be able to sell them so they make more money from the tournament without the game actually introducing it itself.

    Ahhh, gotcha. I took “update” to mean upgrade. Yeah that’s a pretty neat idea.

    This is an interesting compromise. If it’s a token that only increases IVs in small increments, requiring multiple to perfect the IVs, then I think it could be feasible. I’m not so sure about the trading aspect though, because people could just fork out a lot of money to perfect their shiny rewards and then we arrive at the devs’ same (redundant) problem of having a surplus of perfect gift comps as the market becomes saturated with tokens

     

    One thing that I think should be explored is unique vanities as prizes for tournaments. Whether it’s a hat, back item, bike skin… just something that will only ever be released once, and that you can flex publicly when you wear it. I personally don’t think that all prizes need to be comps and/or money.
     

    Titles would be cool also. To avoid the overworld cluttering issue that was previously discussed, they could be ones that are visible in the “you’ve been challenged by X!” textbox that gets shown as battles begin

    The rng is part of the competitive world of Pokémon

    Sorry ?

    So what is your stance on the evasion clause? 

     

    The fact that it is an inherent mechanic is irrelevant. It's shit, it brings nothing positive to the competitive aspect of the game, and it takes the control of the battle completely out of the opposing player's hands with no skill or thought involved.
