Oh fuck Stealth Rock. It single-handedly made me give up on every trying to understand competitive metagame as it’s a stupid fucking move that apparently is allowed because it’s okay to cripple all Pokemon of specific types and I’m the fucking weird one for finding to illogical.

Bede’s and Marnie’s themes…are good.
 
@LightningBolt  
Well, I’m not saying I like Stealth Rock as a move (I think it’s too convenient, though I will admit that GF at least tried to do something with it, with Defog, Heavy-Duty Boots and buff to Rapid Spin), just that it’s a powerful move that wasn’t available as a TM since gen 4.

Yeah man, I love Groundon or Kyogre on every team. /s  
Nah, doubles are super interesting (at least, when not “played to win”), but I can never wrap my head around the amount of options you have while making teams/strategies.

Look up a Youtube channel called Falseswipegaming, which goes over competitive Pokemon. You’d be surprised what mons competitive players use due to a mix of wanting to win and fondness.

Its not about its usefulness, it’s about how it cripples many pokemon and it’s 100% okay but other lesser crippling effects are banned from competitive.
 
So I don’t take competitive seriously and don’t care about it and Stealth Rock is just the face of it to me.

This is the first gen I’ve actually started playing doubles myself and fortunately the meta has shifted from that. You actually see a pretty decent amount of diversity in the one uber legendary per team. On the doubles ladder, I’ve actually been running into Zacian, Calyrex-S, and Yvetal more often than Groudon and Kyogre lately.
