278015 They should just ban Shadow Tag already. There is a reason why it's banned in other pokemon communities.

 

And in PRO you don't even know your opponent's team before battle start unless you specifically know the player.

 

the mechanic is the same as magnet pull or arena trap. The problem with Gothitelle isnt shadow tag its calm mind.

That's actually a pretty fair argument as I see most people complaining about shadow tag instead. However calm mind isn't banned in PRO. Shadow Tag is banned in literally almost every other Serious Pokemon PVP community, as well as swagger. Yet neither are banned in PRO.

Yes the mechanic is similar but it's not the same. No one is using Arena Trap because there is no good pokemon with that move. It doesn't trap flying/levitate users either. Magnet Pull is the same mechanic in a way and is very powerful and also very used. However it's for 1 type and it's pretty much the reason anyone uses Magnezone. It's very specific unlike Gothitelle who brainlessly destroys anything lacking damage and sometimes the rest of the team after that.

Calm mind is fine. Banning it would weaken too many pokemons. Try to think outside of the box. If a rule can be "shadow tag is banned" the rule could also be "pokemons with a trapping ability arent allowed to run boosting moves"

dont spread false informations. Arena trap is not coded therefore noone is using dugtrio.

 

If magnezone with magnet pull is very specific, gothitelle with shadow tag is too. The amount of pokemons it can trap is limited by its own stats and typing! Magnezone has a weaker version of shadow tag because it already has the best defensive typing.

And the no-brain thing is because of calm mind. Calm mind makes Rest a reliable recovery because at +2 gothitelle doesnt care about the 2 sleep turns. So gothitelle gets to +6, than uses rest, waits 2 turns, kills the other pokemon while remaining 95% hp.

gothitelle with chestorest and taunt does the same job as calm mind gothitelle (against haze milotic, calm mind slowbro or once it works unaware clefable even better) but will never be able to sweep a complete team. Imo that state would be comparable to magnezone's which is completely fine.

I'm not spreading any false information. I'm talking about various pokemon communities. And Dugtrio is not considered a powerful pokemon. And how is Steel only as specific as anything but ghost? Lol. Limited by it's own stat and typing? So? So you think it's fine because it cannot brainlessly 1 on 1 a Crawdaunt. Your point proves nothing. And claiming that Magnezone has a weak Shadow Tag because of its typing is pure [Profanity edited out by Pixiu. Please be sure to watch the language]. Unless you got evidence that you worked for Game Freak when they made the ability your allegation is empty air.

Soo uh. Magnezone is in fact a weak version of shadow tag because it functions the EXACT SAME WAY. It only traps steel types however, which is why its a weaker version. Whereas shadow tag traps all pokes period.

Looks like you can't read or understand what you're writing yourself.

Indeed it doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Guess you're not in that category though.
