  • King's Rock and Razor Fang: Nerfed , but returned.

    Both Items were banned because of one single combo. Cloyster + Skill Link + 5-Hit move. The combo is, on vision of Tier Council, "Anticompetitive"(For me, Togekiss abuses from RNG, in a Anticompetitive Way, more than Cloyster. Can literally double the chance of a secondary effect, some of them are very good, like Ancient Power , that buff all stats, barely HP, Evasion and Accuracy, in one stage without any costs. The chance is 10%, but for Serene Grace Togekiss, is 20%.), and are banned on april. Not lasted 2 months on Banlist and they maked a nerf to reintroduct it.

Man I swear, even if im in a really crappy mood lately, reading caio speak about kings rock and how its fair always manages to give me a smile. Thank you.

Togekiss is here and he are perfectly healthy to metagaming, right? (Before you coment: "But you only use togekiss as a example of hax abuser", In all Discussion threads about KR, including the one maked by a Tier Council member,  Only mentioned Cloyster as a example of KR abuser.)

Now, King's Rock is healthy on Metagaming. The combo that make it broken now are Patched. Now, nothing can abuse from it in a anticompetitive way. Togekiss can abuse a little, however if intent is flinch, Togekiss users prefer to run Air Slash.
