Can someone redpill me on the gen II meta? I happened to see

Curse.

rest -> sleeptalk -> rest

>>33047523
Lack of proper EV system made everything way too bulky for its own good, and Snorlax happened to be the best special wall in the OU tier.

>>33047523
It's stall city, even worse than smogon.

Fuck you

Why isn't he retroactively banned

Snorlax is the Lando of gen II.

Why couldn't people use nightmare on it?

>>33048043
Because it has been almost 20 years, only an handful of autists still play competitive GSC and they are all used to Snorlax.

>>33048128
Nightmare is actually a thing in gen II IIRC, since 90% of the Pokemon use Rest.

Stall the meta

>>33048043
Because, as weird as this sound, the metagame is more balanced with Snorlax in it

Thank you for the quick rundown

>Curse is a TM, meaning everything effectively has Bulk Up
>hazards are much weaker, meaning endless switching is possible
>if sleep talk hits rest, you fully recover
>Dragon Dance isn't around so sweeps are much more difficult
>no common way to boost special attack
>no choice items and overall lower power of moves means there is no choice but to stat up to win
>all this combines to Curse Wars: The Meta
