Using multiple of the same items shouldnt be allowed, i just battled someone who had 4 pokemon with life orb, i dont care what item it is, a pokemon should only be allowed to hold one of each item.

So you would suggest to ban 4x Leftovers as well?

yes, i would. Otherwise it defeats the purpose of competitive... Leftovers, life orb, ect ect. it needs to be managed. just like mew should be banned from the pvp, since it can learn any and every kind of tm.

I am not sure if you are being serious or not; but I think you are new to PVP so this might be frustrating for you to play against such things

4x life orb SUCKS. I haven't fought anyone on the top of the ladder or high elo using 4x life orb EVER

Limiting items to one per pokemon would absolutely ruin the little diversity that exists in our competitive metagame. If you could only have 1 pokemon hold leftovers, you're basically limiting teams to picking 1 tank, and that would turn into Slowbro or Blissey. Similarly for items like life orb, only the best sweepers/damage dealers will be picked, etc etc.

 

It's also an added chore to try and remember 6 unique items every single game. I don't want to have a pen and paper out for every battle just to make sure my opponent isn't breaking the rule.

 

Mew is a non issue. Since every person only gets 1, everyone can use it. They're rarely good enough to be PVP-able, and the fact that mew can learn every TM simply magnifies that good moves (Focus Blast, Grass knot, Nasty plot [Not sure if mew has access to this or not in PRO]) are not all implemented/obtainable/working properly, lol.

Disagree, I run 4 lum berries and I go against people who run multiple life orbs. Learn to fight against it and stop proposing stupid bans.
