Why did Smogon choose to ban Shadow Tag instead of just Gothitelle?

Why do you care what smogon says those retards also banned every form of confusion

>>25658182
>those retards also banned every form of confusion
no they didn't you're retarded

>>25658182
2/10 got me to reply

Because smogon is too busy diddling kids to take the time to adapt to any threats so they just ban

Wobbuffet is highly viable even in Ubers.

>Greninja, Blaziken, Excadrill in the ubers.

This is bullshit. They banned shadow tag as an ability but not speed boost.

>>25661409
tbf, its gets r9kd by any half decent water type

>>25661701

Because speed boost as an ability isn't broken

>>25665218
Neither is shadow tag

>>25661701

Because speed boost as a whole wasn't the problem, blaziken was. The argument for banning Shadow tag as a whole instead of just Gothitelle was that people would just start using Gothorita, which people did test and found it to be effective. That's proof enough that shadow tag was the problem, which is what people were really complaining about in the first place.

See post above

>tfw can't use one of my favorites in UU without being shit.
THEY FUCKED YOU OVER, WOBBS

>>25665392
>implying Wobbuffet has ever been UU
>implying it would be UU even if shadow tag wasn't banned

>>25658023
So what's the argument against banning specific instances of Pokemon again?

>>25666209
In gen III and IV wobbs was considered too uber for uber.

It was the mega fug of its day.

>>25666804
Why was it so good then?

>>25666837
Struggle used to do less dommage than lefties for starters. But that doesn't explain gen four.

It's just general OU power creep that killed wibbowobbo.
That and the encore nerf.

>>Wobb vs. Wobb
>Neither have offensive moves
>Neither can escape due to mutual Shadow Tag
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave, if you catch my drift.

>>25658182
That was Pokemon Online, which opens a precedent for Smogon too.

For the record thank user Aurist for his anti confusion schilling, he thinks confusion is less luck based than paralysis and that confusion cannot be classified as a form of phazing and punishment against hyper offensive teams.

>smogon won't allow complex bans

For what purpose?

>>25666922
>we don't allow complex bans
>except the swift swim clause, the baton pass clause and the funbro clause lol

>>25666950
>swift swim is banned
>chlorophyll isn't
why

>>25667019
Sun doesn't boost grass type moves and the clorophyll users in general weren't as good as swift swim users. Also, swift swim + drizzle is no longer banned.

>>25666922
>what is baton pass
>what is drizzle swift swim
>what if chatter
Smogon is already a joke and is laughing material, yet pretends to be still relevant.

>>25667111
>Sun doesn't boost grass type moves
>solarbeam

>>25667147
Sun doesn't boost solar beam, it just makes the move usable.

Rain makes water moves hit like ISIS-rigged monster trucks

>>25667129
>chatter

That's not Smogon senpai.

>>25667154
and if you could give a fire pokemon chlorophyl? via entertainment or simply new gen pokemon?

>>25667287
It is my dream for gen-7 to have a fire/grass type with usable speed and Chlorophyll with some bulk.

>speed AND bulk
so no offense?

anyway, what kind of creature will it be to be both fire AND grass? a burning bush or something?

>>25667754
A flower that has mastered the power of the sun. I think I will call it a "Sunflower" This is my new OC do not steal.

sunflora was supposed to be fire/grass but gf chickened out last second.

>>25667754
Hot pepper or spice in general.

>>25660632
Right. But not with telepathy.

horse shit

>>25669318
Just put him against any scarfed attacker.

question, if you put encore on your wobbufet, which move would you replace it with?

>>25667754
sauce

>>25669321

Ok, I'm telling you from what I've seen and heard from being on the threads and showdown myself. Unless you're there too I'm not really sure why you're talking

>>25658023
>why did a group of retards ban X in their fanmade imaginary meta
Go ask them. How the fuck am I supposed to know and why would I give a shit in the first place?
