Carbuncle009Posted 7/4/2012 5:09:13 PM | D. I taught my Forretres Rapid Spin and other defensive moves to bait the opponent into sending out a Magic Bounce/Magic Coat. They decide to do that, then BAM! Unexpected set-up.

If youre carrying a Poke with a weakness to field hazards and you have no spinner, dont compromise our fun for your sake. And here is where the problem lies. --- "Pokemon is a ripoff of Baseball, because you throw balls and run around in grassy fields." -Minamo |

Blingya25Posted 7/5/2012 11:40:22 PM (edited) | SR should probably just deal 1.5x more damage rather than a 2x damage for those who are weak against it, but heck, what do I know, I don't even play competitively. xD
But still, more so, I think Rapid Spin/Defog should just remove ALL field hazards period.

reaper329Posted 7/5/2012 11:56:49 PM | I hate Stealth Rock with the burning passion of a thousand suns, but I think removing it this late into things would be more detrimental than my hatred of the move. I would like to see things like clauses against it, but not for standard play, if that makes a lick of sense.

CinderDragon77Posted 7/5/2012 11:57:52 PM | I admit this guy didn't have a higher priority to deal with it but. Just one of many reasons why stealth rock is OP. You think battles would be competetive and not just keep switching opponent's pokemon until dead.

Gardevoir_exPosted 7/6/2012 2:26:41 PM | TBH, Stealth Rock must be the single most stupid skill in the game.
Spikes equally damages everything not immune to it, plus about a third of all Pokémon are immune to it, so that's fine.
SR on the other hand, unfairly punishes a select few Pokémon (not just types) that could be usable otherwise, hence reducing the game to a duel between another select few Pokémon that resist or counter it.
It can be left as it is now, but for the sake of fairness, make it expire after 5 turns like Trick Room - just think how stupid it would be if TR were permanent...
