The difference is that Stealth Rock is genuinely unhealthy and overcentralizing unlike Dugtrio.

STOP POSTING SHIT ABOUT SMOGON YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS.
These threads are cancer. Absolute FUCKING cancer. We get it, Smogon is shit. Now you can stop posting about them and giving them attention.

If you hate Smogon so much, why not just make your own fucking competitive website, with its own tiers? You have all this free time to bitch about Smogon, why not use it for something useful?

Oh, wait. It's because that's all you good for nothing NEET losers can do. Bitch, bitch, bitch. You just sit at your computer, in your parents basement, leeching off their hard earned money, so you can bitch about a fucking kids game. And when you aren't bitching, you're masturbating to animals from said kids game. The world would literally, actually LITERALLY, be a better place if you all just fucking killed yourselves.

The same crap that every underage scrub cries about.

Back then, we didn't have team preview and Dugtrio would murder some of our few reliable set up sweepers like Metagross and Tyranitar with no warning, and we just dealt with it instead of crying to ban it.
>>
>>31743086
That was before Dugtrio had a good attack stat though anon

>>31742058
Your fault for not using Jolly Salac Berry Bullet Punch Metagross 2bh.
>>
>>31743086
Thing is you can't deal with it here you dumbass, shit has changed since gen 3 believe it or not, and now dugtrio can kill 1 pokemon in your team and cause you to lose. Take out one threat to the rest of the stall team, and they can make you spend the next 100+ turns in a slow decline to losing. People can deal with stall with checks and counters, but dugtrio can just trap and kill those, leaving you with nothing.

And you can fuck right off with the "back in my days we weren't pussies" argument grampa, you sound like a triggered genwunner

It's almost like you enjoy playing against overpowered piles of shit that would've been banned to ubers faster than you could spell their names if you released them 2 gens ago.
>>
>>31743096
It doesn't matters. The state of the game meant that it could run Choice Band, making it much more dangerous than today.

OP's pic includes Sucker Punch. There's no Sucker Punch in ADV, you take damage to the inevitable Spikes and then get OHKOed by Earthquake.

>>31743122
So just like before. You lose your Tyranitar and you have trouble closing the game because you just lost your most reliable set up sweeper. You lose your Heracross and now Swampert can shit all over your face. You lose your Metagross and now you can't Agility and clean up or hell, Choice Band Explode to finally remove Skarmory.

You sound like a triggered underage who can't accept the truth. You're fucking pussies nowadays. Being this much of a bitch to stall of all things, really? The default of the game was stall for three gens straight. If you just want to press buttons and see things die, go play Yokai Watch or Digimon.
>>
>>31743086
Except that now Dugtrio got a attack boost, which allows him to OHKO some things that were a 2HKO and 2HKO some things that were a 3HKO.
>>
>>31742058
Smogon should make a new tier to balance this shit. If OU got split in half it would not be this ridiculus
>>
>>31743171
you don't even understand how stall works do you? you can't just use another pokemon unless you built your team specifically for stall, in which case HO and balance will shit on you.

You act as if you can just send in another pokemon to kill dugtrio and keep winning. Once you lose the very specific mon dugtrio was sent out to eliminate, the stall team doesn't have to worry since you lack the tools to get around it. You could still win through luck, but your odds are greatly lowered.

furthermore, this discussion started because you said "SR is actually centralizing", we can apply the same logic here, if your volcarona just got fucked by SR why not send out a tyranitar who doesn't care about those rocks? what makes SR unhealthy when its so easy to take care of, but something as centralizing as dugtrio is alright?

And you can fuck off with that last bit too, do you just want stall and no other play styles? if Smogon bans things to help stall not become irrelevant, it's only fair they do the same for HO and other strategies.
>>

>The default of the game was stall for three gens straight
Nigga Wut? Not only is there no default, but what three gens are you referring to?
>>
>>31743171
>running choiceband

The entirety of the new buff is that it can 2HKO most anything. It requires sash to be effective or Metagross could easily kill it like seen above
>>

>you said "SR is actually centralizing"
No I didn't. I've just entered this discussion because of the Arena Trap bitching.

then you should know it takes effort and teambuilding to defeat it, one of these is completely negated by dugtrio though

>Yeah, just like before. Except that now we have team preview and can see it coming.
But you can't do anything about it. If you don't send in the stallbreaker first, they send their own and begin fucking you up, if you do, they send in dugtrio and kill it. If anything it helps stall since now it knows what it needs to take care of.

What the fuck is your point? Stall is a shitty playstyle.

>>31743171
>The default of the game was stall for three gens straight. If you just want to press buttons and see things die, go play Yokai Watch or Digimon.

Outed yourself as a Stallfag. Because switching over and over again isn't just clicking buttons?! Kek. Go kys, Stall requires no more strategy than HO and Balance, even less with Dugtrio around.
>>
The fact that you sissies can't handle Arena Trap on Dugtrio is embarrassing, especially when most of the time it's only carrying shit like Earthquake and Reversal.
Are you all going to want to get Diglett and even that fragile and slow piece of shit that is Trapinch eventually too?
There's Pokemon that aren't in tiers below OU that can take care of Dugtrio.
Are you all really afraid of using a single Pokemon or two that are not OU staples?
Smogon's handholding made y'all into babies that can't think for yourselves.
I bet you're all the kind of people that use 6 standard sets, change a move or two and think you're hot shit.
Smogon's analyses were supposed to be a guide.

you act like smogon just looks at the statistics and automatically shuffles everything into tiers based on that. but that's not the case, if they did, there would be no rulemakers because everything would just be decided by an algorithm

in reality they get together and look at the statistics and then make a biased decision on how they should act on those statistics based on how much they love certain playstyles and moves

I think you're the idiot here. Nobody sends Dugtrio unless they're going for the kill.

Revenge killing =/= countering. Either way, for your Cincino they'd just send in Skarmory. Congratulations, they got a free switch and Dugtrio will come back later to kill something else.

Tapu Bulu can't touch him.
Xurkitree can't touch him.
Kartana can't touch him without Night Slash (which you only see on Scarf Kartana).
Magearna can't touch him.
Any pokemon that relies on BoltBeam + Fire/Fighting/Grass coverage can't touch him (Thundurus, Raikou, Magnezone, Zapdos)
He walls a number of gen 6 threats that are still viable (Volcarona, Scizor lacking Knock Off)

With Thick Club and Flare Blitz, he can hit anything that switches into him very hard. Shadow Bone is a decent move that hits most targets neutrally and will deal a good chunk of damage, or he can set up Stealth Rock or even Will-o-Wisp if his main counter is a physical attacker.

Literally every Kartana runs night slash

ALways runs hidden power ground

Power creep happens, although I certainly agree with you that OU isn't really worth playing at the moment. The Tapu's field generators change the game a little too much and give them so much free power and protection that you're required to use them. Landorus is everywhere, with some of the highest usage rates, comparable to Gen 5 Tyranitar.

There's just not enough variety right now.

Singles was doomed from the start, it's telling that it's the ONLY format where stall is still a valid and dominant strategy.
>>
>>31746949
I still like singles. It's pretty fun in UU now that most of the things too strong for the tier got axed. But stall is still very strong, this is true.

This is the first time stall has been good since Gen 3.
>>
>>31747043
You know that Shed Shell is the second most popular item on Lele, right
>>
>>31747043
Yeah just let me slap Shed Shell on every wall breaker so that I don't auto lose to Stall at team preview. Seems really fun.
>>
>>31747057

>Let me just use OU Pokemon so I don't auto-lose to OU: The Movie: The Game at team preview

Why are you going to bitch about having to do certain things to win games when you already do that.

>>
>>31747094
Because this certain thing is done to win a certain matchup. Your wallbreaker is pretty much useless in any other matchup on the account you gave it fucking Shed Shell so that you can win the matchup against Stall. It's not fun and there's no creative solution, the only solution is crippling your team.
>>
>>31747120

Why not pick a Pokemon that can run Shed Shell and not be crippled by it?

Lol

>>31747154

Prove it.
>>
>>31747139
Ah yes, a wallbreaker that isn't crippling by running shed shell such as... a physical Hoopa that doesn't even 2HKO Chansey. Fantastic idea. See >>31747105
>>
>>31747139
Top fucking kek. I can tell your new to Pokemon
>>
>>31747169
To clarify, the reason I said physical is because the only way a non specs Hoopa is killing something is Gunk Shotting a Clef
>>
>>31747139
This has to be bait and you all fell for it.

>>31742107
i disagree. complaining always makes things better. if it doesn't change smogon, then at the very least i can find someone else with similar opinions to mine and we can talk about what we would like instead. If you don't share my opinion fine, but don't tell me to stop sharing my own.

what if they just carpet bombed all trapping

block
magnet pull
arena trap
etc.
what would /vp/ say
>>
>>31747053
Pretty sure Stall was pretty good in Gen 6.
>>
>>31747037
See the thing is Dugtrio isn't forced to stay in on Crobat. It can just switch out into one of its partners.
>>
>>31743478
>>31747037
>>31748414
Really, the initial question is flawed. Obviously a lot of pokemon can beat a Dugtrio one on one.

The question has to be "What pokemon can break Chansey, Skarmory/Toxapex, and Clefable/Quagsire, but also doesn't get revenge killed by Dugtrio?"

Can't power through Skarm or Toxapex, pretty sure Clef beats it too

Those are without a Swords Dance.
If you're relying on a Swords Dance then the issue becomes
>244 Atk Hawlucha High Jump Kick vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Quagsire:
>135-159 (34.2 - 40.3%)

>244 Atk Hawlucha Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 252 HP / 64 Def Clefable:

It's not looking great for him.

>>31748398

Stall was garbage in Gen 6 my friend. Outside of the brief Gothitelle era.
>>
>>31742178
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>
>>31749861
Was Stall a thing in gen 5? I kinda skipped that whole competitive gen and I've heard lot's of stories about it, like chansey dying because of a rain-boosted Hydro Pump.
>>
>>
>>31750056
Rain stall was a thing with Tentacruel, Politoed, Blissey and Ferrothorn.
