Evasion sucks for players but is mainly only overpowered and toxic when npc use it. Like a battle tower npc doesn’t care about winning 100 times. They just need to win once. So they can run stupid troll teams and moves to fuck you over. Sure the evasion move is generally bad but if it can force a loss for the player, it’s done its job for the npc.

As someone who tends to run gimmick strategies, other things that could go wrong -toxic, curse, or other move which like perish song puts you on a timer -haze, shuts down or at least resets set up -fake out preventing set up -trick room is a pain if you’re strategy revolves around setting things up before your opponent can damage you enough -knock off counters heal stalling and bright power -follow me counters moves like skill swap or guard split -if you dedicate too many moveslots to set up, you might end up in a situation where your remaining attacking moves don’t affect or are resisted by one of the opponents Pokemon (let’s say aside from set up moves, your muk has poison jab and brick break but you’re opponent has gholdengo so you just can’t hit it) -your opponent uses the turns you didn’t attack to set up their own unbeatable strategy There’s more but hopefully you see the point, there’s a lot of obscure moves and mechanics which hard counter others and it’s impossible to account for all of them so a lot of the time it’s best to just make a well rounded team which can deal with what you can or what’s relevant rather than trying to make a theoretically invincible strat given enough setup (that being said, it does feel amazing the one time said strat DOES work against someone who doesn’t see it coming)

I'd say it's because generally it's to do with how Sun & rain are counterparts like how Sand & Snow are counterparts It's the reason why Sun / rain boost the power of respective moves & weaken the other whilst Sand & Hail (i know it's snow now) Damaged the opposing players not using there respective typing whilst boosting the defence / special defence of your own instead. But also abilities reflect the shared category for the most part and if one half gets it, the other does too or a counter version (with the exception of "unique" pokemon abilities), Hence Sand rush - Slush rush (speed for both) Sand veil - snow cloak (evasion for both) Sand Force (bonus damage) - Ice Body (heal damage)

Bro there was a whole meta surrounding just destroying these kinds of setups using Murkrow Murkrow learns Haze, a move that removes all stat changes in the field. On top of that he had the ability prankster, an ability that allows any non damaging move by Murkrow have priority, and Murkrow being a dark type meant he was immune against other prankster users. This was used all the time against a Dondozo setup. Totsugiri's ability commander allowed it to fuse with Dondozo to double all of its stats and basically become substitute unkillable unless Dondozo is defeated. Murkrow using Haze would immediately shut down this strategy before it could even get a turn to move

Aerial Ace, Swift, Magical Leaf, Magnet Bomb, etc would all go bonkers if they didn't have _60 f*cking bp._ Or at least have an additional quirk, like bypassing protection moves (beating out Detect, especially, since that move is essentially 100% evasion for a turn lore-wise). There are other moves in their respective typing and category that fill the 60 bp early-mid game role. Stomp should at least be an Iron Head variant, if not a 90 bp move. Again, moves like Vise Grip, Covet, Horn Attack, and Slash already fill the role of ~60 bp physical Normal type moves, so why have a fifth move in the same slot?

Betcha some Technicians could run Tera Flying and then there'd be literally nowhere to hide. Aside from never missing it's also a great coverage move to jumpscare kill Breloom and Heracross. The unseen blade is the deadliest.

@@ryanhacker5259 On a Technician pokemon that goes up to 90 BP. On Ambipon with it's 100 base attack it'd be able to one-shot a lot of pokemon weak to Flying and do some hefty damage to anything neutral to it. Flutter Mane is faster and has a good Special Attack, but base 55 HP and Defense means an Ambipom doesn't even need Flying Tera to take it out. Honestly I don't even think it'd need Technician to do the job, just has to survive one turn.

Nah, already so few pokemon have technician and how many among those also learn aerial ace? Handful at most i bet. And the never miss part is barely relevant because no opponent seriously runs evasion strats, be it smogon or VGC. It's not useless but is just a low bp coverage move.

2:25 Counterpoint: Thunder, Blizzard, and Fire Blast could be higher damage, _lower PP_ variants instead of being less accurate moves. The candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long and all that jazz. But with the current PP system (that has already been broken with Revival Blessing, and technically with Sketch if you fail to copy a move, but I digress) and the existence of PP Max, they would still be a bit too strong compared to their lower powered variants even if they all were lowered to the current minimum of 5 base PP. If they had, say, 3 base PP and were PP Max-able to 5, then they would probably be pretty balanced even as 110 bp, 100% accurate moves. Though Thunder's interaction with rain and Blizzard's interaction with snow would be missed. Maybe they could just have a power increase within those same weathers, to match Fire Blast?

I've always wondered if a move could give evasion boosts but also another boost in another stat (speed, defense, etc) could change that game for evasion usage in competitive formats. It doesn't have to be a crazy setup, just boost by a single stage. It could be very interesting to see how that might change the perspective when it comes to evasive strategies.

I personally believe the biggest reason why evasion boosting moves suck is because they're stuck in mediocre pokemon. Nobody really complains about it because there are no good users; but if a good user comes along, people complain (Like Fissure Ting Lu) Imagine if Ting Lu, Terapagos or Calyrex ice could use minimize. While evasion could be shut down by taunt, you could also just get faked out, protected or just KO'd instead. And even if you taunt them there is no guarantee you'll win because they are still fundamentally good and bulky pokemon. What's to say they won't outlast your taunt user? In singles, this changes because Chansey (and in recent generation Blissey) is a fundamentally strong and consistent pokemon who would be good with or without evasion. But give it a 75% chance to reward bad plays (like staying in against a fighting type) and we start to have a problem. Tldr; wait until a restricted with minimize comes out (and hopefully they are minmaxxed too) and then those 'advocates of creativity' will start having second thoughts

Yeah, the fact that evasion abuse is seemingly only seen a lot of doubles formats is a sign that it's only viable when you can combo with both pokemon. Singles doesn't have this problem because most of the time the set-up will get you killed before you can get a return. Though I do feel like we will get a strong pokemon with Minimize sooner or later, just has to make sense in some way for it to get it.

I've conceptualized what an RNG-less Pokémon battle would be like, but I'd have no clue how to go about balancing it. Like, there would be a stamina system-powerful attack moves use a lot of stamina, weaker moves use negligible stamina, all Pokémon gradually recover stamina with those not in battle recovering stamina faster. Extra stamina could be spent to do things like land a critical or inflict an attack move's secondary effect. I've always compared Pokémon RNG to an invisible third player who is the chaotic neutral. Or a funnier metaphor would be if two competitive Smash Bros players were in a match and then a heckler decides to put a plastic bag over one of the player's heads. It could take one miss to cause the entire house of cards to come down. That's why I see competitive Pokémon as a kid's gambling sport. Unlike Smash, you rarely see returning champions. I can only think of Wolfy, but nobody else.

Rather than being about "Hit or Miss", accuracy and evasion should be more about "How much will a direct hit be avoided or not". Imagine you're about to be hit by a 250-base power attack, but the accuracy is only 10%. Rather than missing 90% of the time, the attack ALWAYS does damage, but only roughly 10% of its power actually hits you. It would be like a less reliable way to reduce damage, but it works for both physical and special attacks. And a move's side effects could only take effect when certain thresholds are met, rather than by chance. Criticals could be caused, not by chance again, but because accuracy reached over 100%, but 102% accuracy means you hit with exactly 102% of a move's regular power. Obviously, this might require fundamental changes to the battle system, and a discussion, how status moves are affected would also be needed. I strongly believe, handling accuracy and evasion that way, is way more fun and fair for both sides on the battlefield.

Wouldn't this just be another way of making all moves 100% accurate? How is a 250bp move that's 10% accurate any different from a 25bp move that's 100% accurate? I am in favor of still getting partial damage on a miss, though. Maybe 10-20% of damage if you miss, and regular damage if you hit. On-hit effects could just not trigger at all unless it's a full hit. Or maybe there are "tiers" of missing - full miss, partial miss, and full hit. Full miss works like now, partial miss would deal 10-20% damage and maybe on-hit effects, and full hit works like normal. Maybe a 50/50 whether a miss is full or partial. Idk, lots to play around with here.

Especially in gen 1 solo runs, Jrose11 has banned evasion moves: there aren't all these modern counters to them, especially that the NPCs would have and more importantly, they trivialize the challenge by basically doing the equivalent of shooting sand attacks at the whole enemy team in just a few moves, almost completely avoiding all the risks you would have to take to achieve the same effect with accuracy drops. When all you have is a single pokemon and your opponents have no evasion counters, evasion makes it so that what would have required astronomical luck or crazy strategy to beat will at most require a couple attempts to get the evasion up and sweep.

My with my shit eating grin after using an assault vest/choice band sweeper with Earthquake after maxing their evasion (their mad and want my methods banned, but a dub is a dub is a dub). Sure, I waste a few turns using minimize, but I can can always use substitute or baton pass to an Aggron or Chansey (if it isn’t banned in the category). And this is when it stops being a mindless autowin and become a legitimate strategy that involves a lot of play and trying to predict your opponent. You have to unlock the win conditions of evasion first after many turns of trying to survive while using minimize. It takes the same amount of time as with any long term strategy, and isn’t nearly as busted as one might think.
