Phase 1: searching shiny Scyther idk encounters 60 OT LussyNL (Alt account)

Something being excessively used does not mean it's overpowered ergo it shouldn't be banned. Something should be banned if it's unhealthy for the game or overcentralizing. Stall is neither and it has plenty of counterplay besides requiring hax. Or overwhelm your opponent's walls with either offensive pressure, safe set up options or taunt. Name defensive 3 cores that can wall every wallbreaker and reliably wall everything else. Blatantly false. I know the entire TC more or less changed since I left but I know a good chunk of them don't particularly favor stall and wouldn't allow it to dominate if it became problem. Hell I asked around and apparently stall's dogshit right now. "Just use a single move with shit distribution bro, just get lucky bro. Put the frail offensive mon that doesn't fit on every team on archetype to counter that one particular luck based pest bro it's easy, you have a lot of options" Or be behind screens against a physical matchup that doesn't have a super effective STAB move against it. It can also just get lucky against anything slower. You could have just gotten lucky, hell this is what the whole issue is about :^). Shuckle can have a gogollion defense too, doesn't mean it's particularly good. I know it has been a year since I last played and there have been plenty of meta shake ups but unless SWSH moves gave Chansey some killer utility that it sorely lacked (I'm guessing teleport but even then) or some punch packing move to let it two shot things I assume it's still the bulky abusable set up fodder that was before I quit. Tbh I've always said that newer players usually gravitate towards either walls or rain for their first comps as they always guaranteed to be effective early comps to make instead of immediately starting out with some meme offensive mon with some tailor made moveset to fit a very specific team. Also lots of newer players think this is like an average rpg and want to have a balanced party with shit like a special wall, a physical wall and a bunch of attackers, resulting in some weird bulky offense. If novices struggle too much with walls they should look into the many resources for teambuilding in the community instead of flipping a coin and hoping they flinch through it. They should learn how to get good. No game should pander to their weaker, least experienced playerbase as they are likely to jump ship at any time. Also this whole Cloyster vs walls thing is a weird strawman you invented in your head when it can mess with every playstyle including offense. You invented this caricature in your head that any player behind the idea of banning king's rock is an unoriginal stall only player who's seething that their copy paste team got flinched by a Cloyster. It's a distraction you and your buddy pulled out of your butt because people are getting tired of your coin toss strategy and want it gone once and for all. Also looking at you talk about Jorge's team, you somehow think a team with a few walls in it is inherently a defensive or stall team, that just makes you look like you know nothing about this game and gives you less validation. Rotom is not a wall for the record, a pokemon with defensive investment isn't necessarily a wall. Kyu ban this garbage, rework it into either another item that's already out in newer gens that fixes some issue people find annoying right now, or turn it into a fanfic item with the same purpose. Just get this shit out of the game and stop pissing off the competitive playerbase because you somehow want to stay """""""""""""authentic to the games"""""""""""""" despite all the other fanfic changes made to it already. Talk about creating a problem when it was already solved ages ago, not sure if it was due to some dev's OCD or what but it's an idiotic decision. Remove it.

Meanwhile Jhowteon while playing the match :

I can't believe I need to keep repeating this but some people clearly do not get it. Things do not get banned solely because they are strong. We do not ban "Earthquake" from the game because it is one of the strongest attack in the game, we don't ban status ailments from the game because they have great effect on the battle. Things get banned when they decrease the level of competitiveness of the game. One-hit-KO moves aren't banned because they are overpowered, even with average luck with OHKO moves the lack of momentum you get from doing nothing often outweighs the occasional KO you get from OHKO moves (at a time when you would have done significant damage with your regular moves anyways). OHKO moves are banned because a player with literally no skill involved decided to just hope for luck rather than play positionally, and that is what we aim to encourage in competitive Pokemon. (Same goes to Evasion being banned to a large extent, even though this one is far easier to abuse and set up unstoppable game winning sweeps). The bottom line is that we do not remove things from chronological order that are the strongest, obviously. Things get removed from the game when the autonomy of the players are taken away - meaning that you cannot affect on your faith with the choices you make in the battle and rather are a passenger in RNG dice race. Saying that "paralyze/Serene Grace/Scald is strong" entirely misdirects the conversation because the argument for banning hax items never was that they win more games than they lose - the same way that was never the argument for OHKO moves being banned. The argument was - and forever will be - their uncompetitive nature and the fact you cannot and you shouldn't reasonably prepare for them. Maybe you could try to address this argument for once? Edit: Even Smogon banned King's Rock from BW kek

Just your typical competitive game at 650 elo

Values over time: So i decided to make a guide where i list vanities and other stuff worth to invest in and their lowest price in gtl at a certain date. Im aware that GTL prices dont always reflect real values, but i guess its a reliable way to see trends and developments over time. This is mainly meant for players who want to start to invest and are unsure which things usually do well. I start with the stuff i own myself mostly since i keep track of those anyways, will add other stuff tho once they are requested. I will update this around every 2 weeks. 2021: 2022: *red or green numbers are always compared to the last time i checked

Mawile cute animation i made in spare time i hope y'all like it :) She doesn't know what it is but loves it nontheless!

It is very annoying to have to search among all the combats for a specific person to visualize it, therefore it would be more efficient if a search engine was placed for the user and that he simply has to enter a name to find the fight he wants.

the staryu hordes were removed along with most of the wild and horde changes after we got sinnoh as for why, the mystery continues!

Sent the info and money!

Well, comparate. Chansey wins 51% of matchs, and he is a tank. One volcarona have 16,24%. Oh my god, less sucess comparate to Chansey and Blissey Rotom-Wash, according to matchmaking, a wall. OMG, he have more sucess that Gengar and Volcarona. Let's check win rate. The best victory rate is from nidoqueen, a Never Used pokemon, but checking only pokemons that have 10% or more usage, Rotom-Wash Again. See now? Walls are best checking Win Rate. And, where is the offense pokemon with more than 10% usage in this rank? I tell you. the best "offense" is Magnezone, in 15° Position, checking 1° Page of OU statistics. And where is thw scizor, the 2° most used in OU? a Offense? well, 25° Position, in front of him, have ELECTRODE, Exeggutor, and Ludicolo. And garchomp, well , 20° Position. Cloyster, he are 50% or less win rate

Well, if you don't understand, i'm rich in pokemmo and easily test new strategys. But, Novice players use cloyster in matchmaking, to farm BP, remember: Legendary BP Farm is now garbage, don't give too much BP, and Battle Frontier is the hardest way to farm BP, need a high strike of wins to farm a lot of BP. Then , he farm bp and invest it to create your own competititve team. but, simple walls core can complety break team of they. And, now he find a way to counter it and you, and all players that defend ban from king's rock, ask a ban from him? A strategy that only a simple Vaccum Wave of a 90+ special atk fight pokemon counter it. I defend the novice players , and the nerf of walls cores to help players to kept playing pvp and help we to go up in ranks fast. this ban is useless, one time that Can't use King's rock and Focus Sash in same time. Or he try flinch, or guarant a safe shell smash use. let me contrary your arguments. First: You don't have experience competitive. This pokemon you need to win too much matchs to obtain one, and win match in pokemmo, isn't easy. Second: King's rock is unhealty. You use famous wall cores, win match because opponent run out of PP/he forfeit, loves 100+ turns matchs, and come here to talk who is unhealty and who isn't? Third: The only counter for cloyster is 5% below usage. - I talked in this post i quoted, about low usage pokemons that worked with STRATEGY. - Cloyster is 8% usage, and king's rock cloyster isn't the prefer strategys. Players that play with cloyster , know that is better use Focus Sash instead of king's rock.

Im wins ?

PokeMMO's most cring place agreed with you. Congratulations!

This just happened. All in one battle. Cloyster flinching it's way to victory with a stupid broken ass item. @Kyu Please help, this is really becoming a common situation and does not involve any skill...

Why do people like you who have absolutely zero clue about PvP feel the need to comment on a PvP-related topic? Nonetheless, I'll still take the time and effort to entertain your worthless and uninformed opinion because there are a few who would genuinely want to know the answer to this. We want our pokemon competitive play to be on a level where there is a balance between luck and skill. There is going to be a conflict there because, in general, competitive play largely relies on skill over luck, yet we competitively play a game that uses a large number of luck-based elements. To balance out the two, we have clauses in place to minimize the amount of effect luck has on a game. Since you're absolutely clueless about it, here is a list of clauses in place: https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/37764-official-pokemmo-list-of-clauses-updated-with-tournament-mode-clauses/ The purpose of the clauses is so that people don't rely on luck-based strategies to overcome skill, because that in effect would kill competitive play. The purpose of the topic is to remove these specific luck-based elements (kings rock etc.) because these completely kill competitive play. We're not asking to remove crits / damage rolls / status because then we wouldn't really be playing Pokemon. Not every single thing has to be in the extreme end of a spectrum (one end being 0 RNG and the other end being 0 bans/clauses) because a balance of the two can exist.
