Do you know what laughs in the face of teams like this? Unaware Clefable, and Quagsire. If someone wants to use a gimmicky stat boosting Baton Pass team, then let them! I've been swept by them, sure, but that's because I wasn't prepared for it. So Ninjask, and Scolipede are no longer allowed to be used the way they're supposed to be used. It limits the maximum amount of Baton Pass users to one per team, and the one user is not allowed to boost Speed and another stat. Seriously? What? This clause is probably the most complex, while also making the least amount of sense. Verdict Swagger may be annoying, but it is not broken, and it is competitive. If you want to ban it because is a two edged sword, then ban Guts Pokémon holding Toxic/Flame Orbs, or anything that uses Explosion or moves with Recoil, or with bad secondary effects like Close Combat lowering your defenses. Sure, you may be confusing the opposing Pokémon, but they can always hit through the Confusion, with double the Attack power now, likely killing you, and Confusion is a status that they can snap out of too. It can also Thunder Wave and then use Foul Play, which will hit much harder because of the opponent's increased Attack stat. The best user of Swagger is Klefki, as it has Prankster and will use it with priority, and has neat typing. I guess they forgot that Lum Berry exists. Whether the move has a secondary effect that causes a status condition, like Ice Beam which can freeze, or Focus Blast which can miss, or any other move that has lucky effects. If they're going to ban Swagger based off how it is luck based, then they also need to ban every other move that has a luck factor in it.
POKEMON SLEEP POWDER OR STUN SPORE FREE
They want a game free of luck and hax, but this is Pokémon, so this will never happen. Smogon argues that Swagger is uncompetitive and is too reliant on luck.
It's the result of Smogon's boredom, as it has been about twenty minutes since their last Pokémon ban, and they needed to find something else to ban. This ban is probably one of the stupidest. There are several notable Pokémon with this ability that can make good use of it such as Mandibuzz and Reuniclus. Overcoat is another good thing to have to switch into Sleep inducing powder moves, as it gives the Pokémon immunity to it, and weather related damage as well, like a Safety Goggles built in. We would see a lot more of this item if Sleep Clause didn't exist, and there's nothing wrong with that, it's called adaptation. Generation Six also saw the introduction of Safety Goggles, which is an item that gives the holder immunity to Powder based moves and weather related damage. Hypnosis, and the rest are going to miss all the time, and Yawn takes an extra turn for it to work, causing you to have to make a prediction, if your opponent will switch or not. Dark Void is the best of them all, but only Darkrai and Smeargle can use it. Grass Whistle, Dark Void, Hypnosis, Lovely Kiss, Sing and Yawn are all really bad. This also makes them immune to Poison Powder and Stun Spore.Īll the other Sleep moves have hilariously low accuracy, and thus aren't very threatening. The sixth generation made Grass type Pokémon immune to powder moves, which both Sleep Powder and Spore are. Spore is the only reliable of the two, further, being the only reliable Sleep inducing move in the whole game, being 100% accurate.
Most Sleep inducing moves are Grass type powder moves, being Sleep Powder and Spore. Sleep got hilariously nerfed this generation, that Smogon keeping this clause around makes them look retarded. This one would make sense, IF, if, we were still playing the fifth generation games, but even then, it would be debatable.
