You lose priority on Quick Attack and similar moves. So FEAR is not really viable.

I personally don't think that sharing with adjacent Pokemon will balance this Metagame as you could make it so that offensive Mons share their offensive abilities and defensive ones their defensive abilities for example. It might work, but I personally prefer something else: How about not all...

So, I wanted to post something into the Shared Power Thread, but it got closed, so I had to do it here. I mainly want to touch upon the issue, that I really don't understand at all and want to have a clear answer. Why is Smogon so adamant about "Complex Bans"? I understand the point that as...

I don't fully agree that everybody uses Lele because he doesn't want to waste two Sashes on his Mons. Almost all Teams used to run some from of Priority Prevention since the beginning of this Meta (most OMs from Gen 6 had E-Speed Spam as a viable strategy, so a prevention of Priority is always...

The statement about Mold Breaker Rock setter is not correct. I am in the 1500s right now and literally every team runs either Mold Breaker Exca or M-Pinsir (with MB pre-Mega). It is really easy to fit on any team and not niche at all, since it doesn't even prevent your other Mons from working...

Mold Breaker Excadrill. Sets up Rocks and prevents them at the same time. Blaziken is also an option, since Double Kick breaks through any Sash (Scrappy on top of that is appreciated).

I currently use this Team (and would like to run an offensive Team) with the last slot being open: Excadrill @ Focus Sash Ability: Mold Breaker EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Stealth Rock - Earthquake - Iron Head - Rapid Spin Beedrill-Mega @ Beedrillite...

You don't know how mad I am right now. I just clearly explained and elaborated why it is a strategy that requires no thought process. And all I get is "git god, lolz". Serene Grace is an uncompetitive ability. There is no interaction when you get flinched to death. And I don't dedicate one of my...

Yes, because Prankster Destiny Bond has a niche. It is a legitimate strategy. Increasing the flinching chance from "something that is haxy" to "something that is around 60% and therefore quite random" is not something that should be encouraged. A 60% chance is neither something that is...

Okkkk, soooooo .. about Serene Grace... Is there a legit reason not to ban it? I know only random Teams run it, but why not just ban it? It is annoying to deal with and nothing of importance would be lost.

I hate people like yourself the most. Claiming other's decision being based on personal bias just because you yourself cannot grasp their arguments. Even if we get rid of Magic Bounce, the problem is not solved. The ACTUAL issue here is Poison Heal. Here me out: Teams with Poison heal...

Again. Multiscale + Regenerator + Pressure + Unaware + Poison Heal + Marvel Scale is unbeatable. You can only win, when you have dedicated Counters, but then you lose to everything els ein this Metagame. I told you this before, but instead of reacting, all you did was saying "lolz, get gud". I...

Have you played against it? If so, tell me how to beat it. I legitimately see no way to break this core.

And this is the problem. It is just too much going on in this tier, you just cannot prep for everything at the same time.

After playing a few rounds.... I want to ask what you think about unbanning Mold Breaker? Because right now, you have soooo much stuff to deal with, that I think unbanning Mold Breaker is easier than Banning everything else. Prankster + Unaware + Magic Bounce is something you just cannot break...
