The problem is that it's annoying and non interactive. You use Double Team, and if the RNG decides you win, you win.
It's not banned for any specific meta reason, it's banned as a continuation of time honored playground rules, where if you were That Guy who spammed double team, nobody would play with you anymore, simple as.
Jacob Moore
so is being faster speed
if you are banning something because playground rules, you are not competitive.
Jayden Edwards
can you just go search double team in the archive or some thing instead of making dogshit tired threads
Landon Bailey
You were one of the ones that nobody would play with, huh?
Kevin Howard
Stfu and post elo. Nobody with this kind of stupid take is ever above low ladder

I wouldn't grind on an unofficial simulator where they ban core game strategies for being "too good"
Landon Bailey
Being faster speed is something that can be played around. Evasion is something where you hope the computer doesn't decide to fuck you.
Samuel Jackson
There's no randomness to countering it, simply save your dynamax if the opponent has a double team user, then you'll have 100% accuracy.
Levi Watson
Yeah, because we don't have non-targeting stat resets, unmissable moves, conditions that make moves unmissable, Taunt, etc etc. And how is it any different than crits, procs, or

>Using Broken to beat broken >Using strategy that relies on the opponent being retard >Using strategy that results in an autoloss if your opponent just switches out >Using strategy that wastes your Dynamax while your opponent now has a free Dynamax >Using strategy that relies on the opponent not bring Chansey or having 2 Double Team users Post Elo NOW!

>game freak makes a mechanic to counter the two moves you've been spurging out about for 20 years >no!!!! You can't use that!
At this point its just clear smogon has a top player agenda to never have to change their XY 4mon team cores, and keep legendaries in ou.
>it makes games faster Every fucking game has fast and slow formats. What the fuck is this cope?
>you have to use your dynamax mon too counter double team You just admitted the quiet part out loud. Double team puts dynamax in check. Smogon doesn't want dynamax because it changes their 10 year old teams. Therfore ban double team
Same thing happened with cinderace, dracovish and darmanitan

>spamming double team will make others avoid playing with you >clauses, item bans, tiers, no same dex number aren't going to make others avoid you Do smoggies really?

>Evasion and Accuracy can no longer be altered like the other stats >Instead, the Obscured status returns from PLA, giving the equivalent of evasion +1 when in effect along with new statuses for accuracy boost and lowering for both >Abilities like Sand Veil give the user the Obscured status when activated Will this make it usable in Smogon now? Still broken? Unviable?
Henry Cooper
this would actually fix it, although i don't know if anyone would actually use evasion moves if they didn't stack they are honestly kind of bad even as-is, they're just banned for being unfun

>smogon has a top player agenda Qanon tier Schizophrenia
Aaron Cook
>and keep legendaries in ou. what does this have to do with dynamax
Blake Barnes
I could see it stacked in a few ways, but none of them should be at the same level as +6 evasion or if it does, would take quite a good amount of setup to reach that point. >Using a combo like Double Team + Flash, resulting in essentially +2 evasion >If Minimize is counted as its own status, that's potentially another +1 or +2 >It's unlikely for Bright Powder and possibly Tangled Feet to be changed alongside all this, thus stacks Still, even if it still ends up being uncompetitive, would such a change help when it comes to something like the single-player battles?
Ryan Ramirez
Evasion being temporary would be a big help. Sand Veil and Snow Veil were unbanned when weather stopped being permanent, after all.
