Why is this garbage considered a viable playstyle worth protecting? I've gotten reqs twice with this garbage and it's literally just playing solitaire. You can outplay every turn but it doesn't matter because they can heal away any mistakes they make, but then the second you make a mistake, it's almost impossible to get back tempo without them crippling a mon for the rest of the game, killing something, or getting up hazards. It's low risk high reward and forces your opponent to play high risk low reward. This is the only thing I disagree with the general Smogon opinion of, it's not competitive at all, you hardly interact with your opponent.

Dude, just carry a stallbreaker lmao.
you've got no excuse with duggy gone now
>>
>>31789121
Because Stallfags seem to have this mindset that only their playstyle requires any sort of REAL strategy or more strategy than the other playstyles. It really doesn't.
>>
>>31789121
I don't think it's bad by default, but it's felt even more stale than usual these past couple gens.

I can't remember the last time I saw a stall team that didn't at least have
>Chansey
>Skarm
>Toxapex
With a nice slice of Zapdos or Tapu Fini to go with it. For some reason I remember Gen 4 stall being a lot less stale.

What's the best stallbreaker? Hoopa-U?
>>
>>31789902
Banded TTar, it's something every stall player recommends because in theory it 6-0s stall. In practice, all the Stall player has to do is make some predictions so they're able to cripple it. It's even easier now with Pex as their main Regenerator.

I don't think stallfags have any false notions that their playstyle requires strategy, I think they just want to win.

Komala
>Swords dance
>Brick break
>Play rough
>Thrash

Okay its far from the best but is surprisingly effective vs most walls.
The amount of M sableye players this upsets is hilarious.

SD Rock Head A Marowak is also extremely solid against Stall, but sacrifices a lot of utility normal A Wak has.

Blame hyper offense for that.

Too many walls aren't good anymore while GF keeps making crap like Lele and cockroach.

What about Ursaring?

Comala's usefulness is that it still has the item slot open for use and has that extra speed.

SD Lando-T. Just don't be an idiot and try to setup against M-Sableye/Quagsire/Clefable

Isn't this the tool that recommended Growth Venusaur and Shed Shell Heatran as answers to Stall?

Kinda. He is the same dude who claimed that Stall would die if Area Trap was gone, tho

He kinda ragequitted after that.
>>
>>31790399
Oh right, he also cherry picked the worst arguments against him and didn't actually address any valid complaints then said he was done. Nigga should just run Shed Shell on Quag or Glisc if he thinks every one else should be eager to use that trash.

Both are walled and phazed by Skarmory, the stall staple since 17 years ago.

>this is the kind of pokemon that people use while whining about stall
>>
>>31789902
Torn-T's pretty good. LO+Regenerator+Knock Off+Superpower can do a lot.
>>
>>31789902
SD Fightinium Kartana or Tapu Bulu.
