Again I'm only pointing out an inaccuracy in the use of the clauses you posted I was never here to talk about how they operate in this games current pvp, like I said to blader if its about buggy problems then request a vote on it, I ain't got an issue on that go for it m8.
Also in regards to the rule sets, like I said in my first post the ruleset is or at least seems to be focused on a revised Gen 6 OU. It not a fully focused rule set due to the fact EVERY ability isn't in but, it would be hard to place rulings on the OU and BL Mon from Gen 6 that ARE working if you didn't take that gens rule into account. That being said a few abilities/moves from 5, 4 and even before that aren't working as well (eg. trace, illusion, mold breaker, overcoat, zen mode, heck sheer force was only added when sinnoh was released, lack of TR etc.) but we aren't going to fall back to gen 2/3 rules because of that are we? No. I get what you're trying to say but, to me personally, it would make little sense to set the rules back to focus on a previous gen when they are also incomplete in a few aspects themselves.
It's always been hard to promote diversity in comp pvp teams. There's a reason the Smogon tier listing were made in the first place, and as we lack a tier split it's gonna be less likely you see someone rocking a shiny Dunsparce or a Sunny day whims and RD sable in comp when talon, bro, bliss, and weather setters are in play, that's just how it rolls. I mean I'm the type of person to play those regardless of what everyone else is doing. I even rock an Evio Golbat in half my teams so I say if you wanna see more diversity do it yourself.
Once more, if it's an issue on bugs involving the moves/abilities then again go ahead request a vote for it, I ain't gonna argue that :y:. That's all I got to say on this
