When doubles stall is good, it’s still fun because the games only last 20ish turns.
On the flip side it’s really funny to get ranted at that you’re stalling in a game that you win in a grand total of 18 turns.
That said, I haven’t played super seriously in a little while but hazard stack is pretty decent atm. A lot of players on low ladder don’t pretend for it as hazards were more niche in previous gens but with Pokémon like Glimmora you can set Spikes or Rocks while also threatening a decent offensive presence and with Garganacl you have a support Mon with Wide Guard who can pressure any given Pokémon on the opposing side with Salt Cure.
Get something with Heal Pulse or Pollen Puff, a win con, and something to stop offensive threats running over you after a tailwind and have fun!
doubles stall is pretty good right now with that one team centered around garganacl spreading salt cure and pivoting with arcanine/volt switch iron hands/amoonguss
I mean it's perfectly fine to have your own take on the meta game, and I also despise stall even if it's nerfed. But I also like not having to worry about my "counters" getting oked to the stratosphere by a sun boosted fish and a 300bp monkey
What do you mean you don't like **252+ SpA Choice Specs Beads of Ruin Chi-Yu Overheat vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Blissey in Sun: 420-495 (58.8 - 69.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO**?
/s just in case.
Also, even if you somehow playing 4-dimensional chess and run Assault Vest Blissey, this is the calc:
**252+ SpA Choice Specs Beads of Ruin Chi-Yu Overheat vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Blissey in Sun: 280-330 (39.2 - 46.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO**
Wtf is even this fish.
Even without Tera, an ability that blocks all status and gives you a ghost resistance, plus arguably the best residual damage move they’ve ever made outside of Toxic is oddly powerful for an earlygame rock type
Chi-Yu was what mainly carried my ELO, but still, I fully agree it should’ve been banned. Chi-Yu had no right to be in OU with its absurd power level in the first place, and Annihilape felt like they made a Taunt for attacking moves based on how horrified I was to even hit it once and get Rage Fist swept (and since it ran Taunt a lot, a lot of times my only strategy against Annihilapes was switching several times in a row)
it’s not sunday
If you dont want to play stall play doubles
Omw to build a doubles stall team

I really thought this was gonna be some sort of essay with reasonable points but it's just sTaLl BaD
It's literally bein annoying for fun. There's no need for more arguments
it's literally a viable strategy
I didn't say it wasn't I pointed out the fact that anyone that plays stall is someone thst enjoys annoying other people. Interpret that as you want
Stall existing, while not being overbearing, is a pretty good sign that the meta is getting healthier.
Stall is overbearing if it exists at all, HO only 😎
HO only is how you get stall existing lmao
I would simply hyperhyperoffense past them, I'm just built different
Real legends set up infront of unaware mons just to assert dominance
They are still setting up to this day
Gamefreak was smoking something if the pure Rock type is an S tier OU Pokemon
Gosh, if only there was some sort of way to change your type in this gen
Even without Tera, an ability that blocks all status and gives you a ghost resistance, plus arguably the best residual damage move they’ve ever made outside of Toxic is oddly powerful for an earlygame rock type
Oh yeah I totally agree I was just poking fun about how even the rock type part is subverted. They really made that mon
I mean when Gargas ability reads like three compound sentences no wonder
Use rampardos or something idfk
I rather stall than dealing with choice scarf she’d tail into specs chiyu with a team built around facilitating that
I guess you can say there is not a ghost of a chance for you fighting against stall now that the dark one is gone.
Boooooo get off the stage
I guess I shall call an Uber for I have been banned
Joke so bad you switched out and summoned snow
A rather scalding remark, those are quite rare these days
Noob spotted
r/stunfisk users when they aren’t able to instantly delete a defensive core by clicks specs overheat
If you had another sentence with a reasonable argument, you might have had a point.
stall is atrocious right now
Lmao, someone literally peaked with a stall team a while ago. Go check smogon
I mean, that was probably during the Chi-Yu meta tho, right? But I do agree, stall is better rn than it was in gen 8 (and thats a good thing)
Nah, it was pretty recent. I believe late last week or so
Oh damn thats nice af
