@@BlackBeartic229open team sheet means you can see you’re opponents IV/EV spreads, Tera type, ability, and it’s whole moveset. Any surprise with unorthodox strategies is thrown entirely out the window if your opponent can take a VERY educational guess at what your strategy is. It’s no fun. Doesn’t help that with the current power creep, everyone runs Pokémon that are already predictable to begin with because they’re tailor made to be better than everything else out there. It’s like watching a movie, but it’s all been spoiled for you when you buy the ticket. Whats the point?

@zenospark153 4 месяца назад

@@edman9953 You can't see IVs and EVs in Open Team Sheet, which means players can still uniquely EV their pokemon to do things that are unexpected. Even though you can see Item, Moveset, and Tera Type, OTS allows for skill expression and diversity as players can better plan and showcase their skill as there are less random surprises from both parties, and EVs/IVs allow for players to uniquely build their pokemon to their needs. Unorthodox teams still work BECAUSE they're unorthodox. Wolfey's 2023 Orlando Regional Perish Trap team and Joseph Ugarte's Sun Team with Jumpluff from the 2023 Portland Regional are good examples of this.

Despite Smeargle having made numerous anime appearances ever since the original series, episode 66 (Smashing with Sketch!) of Pokemon Sun and Moon marks the first time in the anime when a Smeargle is seen using it's signature move Sketch.

Unfortunately upper hand is like sucker punch in that it only works on attacking moves. Specifically, upper hand works on “physical or special moves with a priority from +1 to +3.” So nope, it’s not a tornadus counter.

@stunt647 4 месяца назад

The only Mon I see using upper hand effectively is someone like Blaziken that can be fast and is resistant to fake out users like incineroar or rillaboom (and I run clear amulet to dodge intimidate) If they don’t click fake out or grassy glide it fails but then I get a boost to temper flare.

I still believe you should do it so Dark Void gets 50 Accuracy, but gets like +15 from Bad Dream ability (so Darkrai is viable). And you move Spore to 85 Accuracy, but for Grass-types, it becomes 100 Accuracy (not unlike Toxic). This way, Smeargle becomes useless with those moves, all while making everyone else not bad.

I think the fact that I feel bad for SMEARGLE of all Pokémon should show how devastating power creep has become. Edit: I understand that it’s not fully power creep that’s removing Smeargle from higher play, it’s the open sheets. But for the sake of not having an extra paragraph (like I apparently should have had from the start) I shortened the whole thing down to just “power creep.” Shut up.

@@DCBiscuit y'know, that feels more like a case where you would say it "fell off". There being other Pokemon that perform specialized roles Smeargle could perform before just as well if not better wasn't completely enough to bring it down, it also took them to change the rules so your opponent couldn't get blindsided by any of the potential sets and moves it could run, which on the other hand wouldn't have been as effective in banishing Smeargle if it wasn't for other Pokemon filling its roles.

Defo not powercreep, just people now being able to know what set its running and not guessing between all of the infinite move combination that he has access to. Not feeling a bit bad for Smeargle usage dropping to 0, and it's more than deserved for what he did to Dark Void.
