lc being fundamentally more offensive is in many ways a choice. yes lc pokemon do more damage to each other but the balance choices made across the generations to refuse to handle some of the most broken offensive options, thereby suppressing defensive counterplay more than usual, have magnified that significantly. many players have quit playing lc because of the fundamental refusal to allow different playstyles.

Defensive things get banned much more rarely in every meta. The math inherently pumps up offense. A High Jump Kick from any Pokemon is always going to hurt like hell whether it be from Mienfoo, Riolu, or Scraggy, as will a multi-hit move from almost any Skill Link Pokemon. I dont think banning the big players is gonna improve defense, it's just gonna make newer offensive staples.

@bmac4 it's not just mons that could be banned to improve LC though, although there have still been a couple that are so blatantly better than everything that should still go. It's also blatantly offense favouring items ie Berry Juice and moves like Knock Off that remove defensive counterplay to some mons.

I think arenatrap should t be banned in any format. there is so much more strong and broken shit. I think trapping is perfectly balanced and beeing able to stop switching is just as fair a tactic as any other. People just dont want to have to consider that ability for building their team. beeing trapped doesnt mean you lose your pokemon by default, we can just as well have our teams be prepared for it like defog for hazards.

I mean, the strategy is also considering gimmicky in Ubers UU, and I'm not sure if it would be that bad in OU considering tera. The counterplay to Gothitelle is just too prevalent, too easy to slap because having phasing and dark types is important, and the tier isn't even that offensively oriented. Dugtrio could easily be unbanned in OU and would drop because tera gives clear counterplay to dugtrio, and that mole is ridiculously frail and kinda weak.

It started as level 5 and level 1 would be much stupider, since there would be even less stat variation. With perfect Evs and IVs you need 4 base stat to hit 6 in a stat (or 12 HP) and 54 to hit 7 (or 13 HP) without Evs you need 35 and 85 respectively. This means natures actively make Pokemon weaker (since you need to hit 10 for the 10% boost to do anything) and most Pokemon are going to be 6 or 7s across the board, since you need over 100 to hit 8 in a stat.
