Scald?

>>29914757
Burns do less damage so it kinda was nerfed

>>29914619
>no Knock Off nerf
Gayyyyyy

>Stealth Rocks now have a use limit. They damage 3 switch-ins before they disappear and need to be reset.

There, I fixed Pokemon forever.

Oh no, not 90 BP Knock Off! That's so much worse than 130 BP Knock Off!

Stealth Rock is a niche move with limited application in official formats

>>29917118
>pokemon games are almost exclusively singles
>but the comp format is doubles
The only reason that's true anyway is because they so thoroughly broke singles with each successive power creeping generation that singles is no longer an interesting format without dozens of increasingly convoluted bans

>>29917246
No, it's because they want people to use all the shit they make that has no function in singles

Also, they want games to go by quickly, they don't want to waste their time on this shit

>>29917039
Genies are not eligible for VGC, at least.

>>29917379
games were better when they were a little longer but not total stallfests
the faster the KOs come the more luck and matchup based the game becomes as opposed to victory through a long series of good decisions

>>29914619
they only give a fuck about shit that matters in doubles

Stealth rocks are balanced
Without them flying spam would be even worse
They're part of the game because gen 3 showed a huge bias towards flying types
Even now, with stealth rocks, many flying types are very influential

Imagine the genies with no fear of rocks

Better yet, imagine no genies at all

But that's the point. Without touching the subject of the rng's role in pokemon, they are supposed to be matchup based. There are fucking 800+ pokemon now, and at the very very best 50 are seen in major vgc events. Usually a lot less.
