Shouldn't it get nerfed? It's too good

>too good
>in a fairy heavy meta no matter what format you play

If anything should be buffed

Honestly, it's time we got some nerfs and move pruning.

There are too many 120 BP STABs. Fairy didn't do shit besides adding even more cancer to a cancer infested body. We're at a point where gen 3 Kyogre seems weak. Ridiculous.

If Special Moves received a nerf on the BP then why not do the same with Physical Moves? It was very strange that Groudon and Kyogre got Precipice Blades and Origin Pulse but one had 120 BP while the other one had 110 BP.

>>31742933
Probably due to Intimidate and Will o Wisp.

Personally I think it was a bad idea. Special 120 BP moves didn't have 100% accuracy while most physical ones did.

>>31743004
Yeah but Phyical moves don't really have good moves above 75 bst without drawback asides from EQ

Whereas Flamethrower/scald/thunderbolt/Ice beam exist

>>31742896
as long as Smogon bans it, it's ok

>>31742896
The game is balanced around doubles and as long as they keep making good Intimidate pokemon, physical moves are fine the way they are.

>>31743075
Many Physical Moves have drawbacks, mainly recoil (especially HJK)

>>31743135
That's literally what I said

>as long as they keep making good Intimidate pokemon, physical moves are fine the way they are
>Flare Blitz, Brave Bird, Megahorn, Close Combat, High Jump Kick, Stone Edge, Head Smash
>despite their drawbacks they allows anything to hit stupidly strong and Intimidate can be negated with Swords Dance

>>31743075
These drawbacks are a slap in the wrist compared to "you missed, now you lose the game".

>>31743199
Which side? HJK vs Leaf Storm/Draco Meteor?

>>31743169
>Using Swords Dance in doubles

>>31742907
Anon, pretending to be retarded won't get the quality (you)s you're after.

Good thing I only play casually.

But I do feel for you guys.

>Earthquake
Pretty much dead by anything

>>31743169
>Headsmash
Not viable in doubles.

>Swords Dance
Rarely seen in doubles, due to the fast pace of the format. Also, usually movesets are build like this: Stab1, Stab2/coverage, Protect, Coverage.
Not easy to cut one of these for a setup move.

>High Jump Kick
Special mention here. High Jump Kick is WAY too risky to use in a format in which everything has Protect.

>>31742896
Close Combat? It's "too good" only on Mega Lucario and Terrakion. "Decent damage but drop both defenses" is perfectly balanced.

>>31742933
The reason for that is that origin pulse gets a rain boost. Precipice blades doesnt get a sun boost.

>>31743932
Having def drop is far better than attack or speed dropping on pkmn. It's the best possible drawback for lucario, infernape etc
