    Oof, should've clarified - if we ban Mimi then that's how we do it. It's strong, but not that strong. It was rude, ayedan , but here are your posts on sleep, in reverse chronological order: Your initial post was good, but the rest basically ignored every counterargument made since then...

    Been a while, but quick thoughts on Mimikyu and sleep: Mimikyu's broken, but not because it's strong. It's broken because it has two radically different play archetypes, offense and defense. Many, many mons can check one or the other, but the trick here is to predict which one turn 1 or you...

    Sleep! I think it's mostly covered here, I can't offer any more factual info. I do think people are trying to define abuse versus use rather poorly, which misdirects the argument. I would offer a better definition of abuser as "a Pokemon that is widely used because of its strength, especially...

    Z moves let's go Wall of text incoming, so TL;DR at the bottom LucarioAidan, I share your stance, but your debate skills lack a certain...everything. Let's have a real position to defend from here, and acknowledge that Z-moves have some benefits. Firstly, Z-moves were introduced as a boost -...
