Makes a bunch of mons more usable in the lower tiers.
Rapid Spin is actually a coveted move in the lower tiers (RU,PU,NU).
Everything dies to hazards now.

>>26836380
It wouldn't. It'd just make sneaky stones less viable, which is a very good thing.

Probably means shit like scolipede and Klinklang will get more use.
Also probably means a ghost type on every smogonfag's team.

>>26836428
Also you don't have to breed fourty fucking different guys just to get rapid spin on tentacruel

>>26836428
What smogon team doesn't run either a Gengar, Mega-Sableye, or some form of Rotom.

They're good pokemon plus they stop Rapid Spin from happening

>>26836473
>Rotom
>Spinblock
Only base form is ghost type, bro.

Dark types with Rapid spin make spinblocking a lot harder. Imagine if Pupitar could rapid Spin, letting Tyranitar know it by extension. Unspinblockable. Would be beautiful.

>>26836473
>Implying OU teams use base form rotom

Also play more, faggot. Gengar and sableye aren't as common as you think, I've seen them swapped out for shit like bisharp

>>26836473
Rotom lost the ghost typing in 5th gen.

>>26836496
Are you new? Anyone with a little bit more than a bottom ladder experience would know that rotom-wash was still a ghost type in gen 4, and they've clearly got their gens mixed up.

RIP Rotom I guess, last time I used it for OU was Gen IV

>>26836550
Are you retarded? Anybody who isn't a complete faggot could've read the conversation and would know that this isn't gen 4 anymore.

>>26836380
Do you mean Spikes does more to those weak to Ground for example? If so, rip Fire types because now you get nailed on two fronts.

RIP steel types because Spikes

Just to clarify I said STAB not effectiveness
