Hello there, just a few thoughts n_n
- You may want to compile a complete banlist somewhere? The Belly Drum + Solar Power illegality on the Charizard line isn't mentioned in the OP with all the other bans, as far as I can tell.
I did mention "Only legal moves are allowed." in the additional rules.
- In my opinion, Fling and Last Resort should be banned for reasons similar to Natural Gift and Return/Frustration, as they can both be exploited to give attacking moves of 0 BP.
Fling and last resort both have pros and cons, unlike return and frustration.
The former sacrifices throwing an item, while there are possible strategies where you can heal a foe by flinging a Sitrus Berry, it usually is not an effective strategy. Meanwhile, the latter forces you to not make use of all your moves. However you do make an interesting point there, but I don't think it is game-breaking because of its conditional nature.
Thanks for the suggestions and I really appreciate everyone's feedback!
I also found that Alakazam might be too good for this tier, With this moveset it can almost guarantee a win against the last pokemon.
Alakazam @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 Spd
Timid Nature
IVs: null HP / null Atk / null Def / null SAtk / null SDef
- Taunt
- Skill Swap
- Substitute
- Knock Off
Skill swapping magic bounce is very game-breaking as it shuts down all forms of indirect damage, it also has access to great moves like taunt substitute and knock off. Alakazam is possibly the most dangerous pokemon in suicide cup!
