Fix competitive meta with one change >Stealth Rocks

>>26401754
why the fuck would stealh ROCKS be dragon type. That makes no god damn sense.

>>26401754
>Sneaky Scales

>Entry hazards do not effect Flying types or Pokemon with Levitate

WHAT IF they just made a Stealth Rocks equivalent for every type? Then it would be fair

>>26404725
It would be CHAOS

The number one concern with nerfing rocks is Burdspam. If Talonflame's strongest controlling factor is removed, then the bird will become even more dominant.

Stealth wyverns, they smack you across the face when you enter the field

>>26404887
Why did Gamefreak do this to themselves, to us?!
Volcarona and Charizard X/Y were clearly also made with stealth rocks in mind! Why does Gamefreak hate fun?!

Grass has suffer because of the way the starter triangle needs to interact for it be fair, but Grass would really make sense with a Water immunity.

Waters already almost always have Ice coverage and Grass is just a shitty Type right now.

>>26404725
It would be horrible it would become a must have move with Pokémon that can place multiple becoming a necessity

Stealth Rock deals half-damage across all types and is removed when a Rock type is sent onto the field.

>>26405826
This could be indirectly fixed with a mega

>Hazard control
Upon switch in this pkemon gets healed by 5% per hazard in field (sticky webz, sneaky pebbles, spikes of all kinds).

I'd make it so mold breaker affects it.

Hazard stacking becomes less of a dominant factor in the game

>>26406023
i meant ability...whew

>>26401754
>>26401754

just flat out remove sneaky pebbles

-give some moves a chance to clear entry hazards, ie hurricane and surf can remove most hazards, fire moves can burn up stick web, etc
-create an ability, Neat Freak, that cleans up entry hazards after the pokemon is switched in (still taking damage on the switch) and liberally distribute it

>>26404641
change it stealth cocks and make it about dragon dildos

>>26401754
Remove megas

>Return Postage
Rock-type
Base Power: 50
Effect: Removes hazards on your side of the field. Opponent takes additional damage, is slowed, and/or is poisoned according to what hazards were on your side of the field.

Rhyperior exclusive.

Smogoncucks needs to go whine about muh hazards on their own forums, it's not relevant in any real competitive meta

That sounds horrible desu but I have an idea. Say Rocks were on the field then an Ice mon uses incomprehensible icicles the rocks would be removed and replaced with it.

All types would be too much though.

Did your team of 6 charizards get fucked by Stealth Rocks, or why do you think you have to "fix" the meta?
If you build a team that is weak to hazards but don't use a spinner or defogger, then your just shit at teambuilding.
But fine, have fun and remove Rocks. Just don't be that guy who gets mad because Talonflame rapes his team.

>>26408903
Rocks are literally why he's not uber

>>26404725
if there was ever a post to weed out a person who has never touched competitive then this is it

>>26406123
>Neat Freak
yo this sounds like a legitimately good and viable ability.

it's something i can see GF releasing.

but make it a very rare ability, give it to one of the fairies, maybe Clefable.

Sneaky Pebbles is one of the least worries of competetive.

>>26409019
Aren't there a few Pokemon that are described as neat freaks? Minccino at least, though it already has all 3 ability slots taken.

As has already been stated, Stealth Rocks isn't really an issue in competitive. You don't even need something capable of removing them unless you have a bad rock weakness or a key mon has a rock weakness(and even then you might not even bother). It's nice to be able to get rid of them, just like it's nice to be able to get rid of status, but neither are mandatory for good teambuilding. It's rare that SR even affects something's viability enough to tip it to not-very-OU-viable. Yanmega is the only one that comes to mind.

>>26409212
Volcarona too, but depending on your team, SR may not be that much of an issue.

>>26409222
No, Volcarona is still good in OU. I believe even OU bye usage. It just faces a lot of competition by Charizard and Talonflame, so you are seeing it on fewer teams now compared to Gen V.

Switcheroo and trick move all entry hazards from your side of the field to the opponents along with swapping held items.

>Dragons are now stealth type

Does this fix the meta?


Also, ducks.

>>26409734
Yeah, it's BL currently, and by no means a terrible Pokemon. But you absolutely have to run something to get rid of hazard.
And Chansey walls it to hell and back. Azumarill, M-Diancie, Lati@s, Hippowdon, Heatran and Talonflame also don't make a Volcarona sweep that easy. Of course you can build a team around it, but it's usually easier and more reliable to just use something else.
