Anyone else think U-turn and Volt Switch completely ruin this game?
No need for predicting or making interesting plays lol all you gotta do is press u-turn lol and enjoy all the momentum for free

Git gud. Volt/Turn can be exploited if you, I dunno, predict or make interesting plays.
That's called a switch you retard
Are you 8? Learn to predict/deny switches.
>>32938603
No.

U-turn/Volt Switch differs from switching in that if you move last, you get to bring something in for free

>>32938621
there is no counterplay to a slow u-turn or volt switch
if I switch, the enemy can then switch in the counter for free
if I dont I risk losing a mon
Its worse with volt switch because atleast electric is a good typing
if the enemy gets a chinchou out on my staryu Im fucked either way, either I take the volt switch and die or give the ememy momentum
its fucking dumb

Teach me then, oh grandmaster of Pokemon
>>32938642
>get to bring something in free if you move last
Or, you know, the Pokemon already out gets hurt or possibly KO'd

Do you predict U-Turn? Use protect.
Wow! Hard!

>there is no counterplay to a slow u-turn or volt switch
A: Carry unusual coverage to either kill the slow turner, or the thing it switches to after you switch. Don't use Smogon Copypasta except as a basic frame
B: Use Sneaky Pebbles/Spikes
C: Run it yourself
D: Use Ladder Helmet/Ground and Volt Absorb mons
E: Phaze things out to disrupt it
F: Bitch about it on 4chin

>The Pokemon you have out doesn't have Protect
wow

they need to be buffed honestly, especially volt turn, it should ignore ground typing if thousand arrows is allowed to ignore flying type immunity
>>32938848
ya but thousand arrows makes sense
since yknow
theyre arrows
>>32938848
>This random TM move should totally receive the same treatment as a unique move of a legendary pokemon that is thematically appropriate!
>>32938848
Why the fuck can't Return hit ghosts? It should ignore ghost typing if Thousand Arrows is allowed to ignore flying type immunity
>>32938685
wow
genius
>>32938930
that would be true if scrappy didn't exist
