    Shiny nidoqueen slightly less power/speed but slightly more bulk. I don't really like her shiny form as much though, nidoking looks like a true boss.

    Eh, Swagger's only a real threat in doubles, and taunt will fix it fast.

    Swag + Prankster is a real threat in solos.
    Also: One step closer to shutting down the BooBooKeys.

    Thats the problem, lets say SwagPrank gets popular your forcing everyone to run a magic bounce pokemon to deal with a single pokemon on the enemy team which is the reason for bans. Just like mega Kang, people had to run stuff like Rocky Helmet max Def Garchomp/Ferrothorn to counter 1 mon

    Not forcing. Not everyone runs it. And if you have a Prankster yourself, that is faster (Sheepy! <3) you just set up your Sub and do your own shenanigans.

    I agree that forcing people to play X to counter Y because everyone else runs it is a bad game, however, when they started banning left and right, it was simply run by FOTM, hadn't stabilized into variety, and it never will if it isn't given time to mellow out and people find their own little niche or whatever they like playing.

    There will always be something that counters something else, they can't just keep banning the next most popular/broken thing because the ones that were more broken were only more popular, so they just take the next in line.

    I do have Magic Bouncers (Eifi ^^), just don't want to be forced to use them.

    I agree with this. I just run what I feel like running personally, so... I'll take losing more over being frustrated about being forced to use X because 6/10 use Y. I've beaten some of them without a counter anyway.

    Might actually try using my Infernape with taunt and give him a status cure berry...

    Did you guys watch the one video in the Swagger thread where someone used a Prankster Purrloin with Leftovers, Substitute, Swagger, Thunder Wave, and Foul Play?

    It was their only Pokemon and they swept an entire team of 6 ubers. Shit's bonkers. Also, that must have taken them a long time to find someone that would have bad enough luck to get swept by just one purrloin (the guy ONLY had the purrloin, no backups for emergency swapping or anything.) :P

    Here's the URL for you if you didn't watch it:
