And just like that the tables have been turned. This is why I like Trick Room.

I like the concept of trick room because most offensive pokemon are going to use their 10% nature boost plus 252 EVs towards the speed stat.
And then by using trick room you are virtually nullifying all of those stat points while you gain an advantage of 63 stat points (plus the nature boost) over your opponent.
It just needs an auto start ability but GF seems too scared to do it.

Yes, attached to the right Pokemon it could easily flip the meta on its head.
I fucking hate this thing
>>31660536
Why did your salamence not have quick attack? Priority is still priority in TR
>>31661038
Why do you hate it?
Also, update. I made it bros. The Slowking didn't have Ice Beam. It had Trick Room, Water Pulse, Psyshock, and some other move.

What kind of team did you build?
>>31661077
>>31661084
RNG is literally aids. Everybody uses legendaries or the game builds the perfect team against yours. So I've built my own team to counter legendaries. I'm using,
Machamp @ Assault Vest [No guard]
Sassy
252atk, 252hp,
Dynamic Punch,
Ice Punch,
Stone Edge,
and Earthquake.
Toxapex @ Black Sludge [Regenerator]
Sassy
252HP, 128def, 126 sp.def
Toxic Spikes,
Venom Drench,
Recover,
Baneful Bunker
Salamence @ mega stone
Adamant
252atk, 252spe
Rock Slide,
Dragon Claw,
Dragon Dance,
Return

Broken as fuck, even on farfetch'd

What if it was attached to a bulky Pokemon with a good defensive typing that could switch in multiple times? That would be a huge buff to Stall. On second thought, maybe we shouldn't do this.
>>31661197
The only way I can see that not being broken as fuck, is if they gave it to unown (which kind of also fits thematically) then the opponent would almost be sacrificing a team mate just to make 5 powerful slow mons ridiculous. Even then unown would have focus sash, and just switch out immediately into a pokemon that resists the opponents lead, and then at full health with sash could activate it 2 more times barring entry hazards.
Doubles it would also be banned immediately

When do you start seeing legendaries? I'm 28 battles into Super Singles so far.
>>31661260
45-50
>>31660582
I would also prefer a trick room extender like the weather rocks. 3 turns just isn't enough

Why do people do this?
>>31661227
In basically any way it's implemented, it would be excessively, disgustingly broken.
