Actually I think Leppa + Recycle is only banned on Smogon.

I'm well aware of that. What does that change about anything I just said?

One possibility to avoid this is make Struggle hit through Protect/Detect, but that would only solve this one issue. I'm pretty sure that Funbro can keep their foe alive infinitely, even with Struggle, due to Heal Pulse. |

It's also ruined by switching out when they switch in Sableye, a much more effective counter than just happening to have a ghost type out.

... Not that you disagreed with any of this. Throwing that acknowledgement out there. I just wanted to reply to your post in the context of what I said previously. I don't feel like, "It can be countered by switching out the moment you see the Entrainment Durant die and replaced by a Sableye" should be an answer out of Game Freak as to why they've left an infinite loop in their game for trolls to exploit.

Oh it's totally beatable; it's not a win condition automatically, you just have to predict it. It's the same as letting most other things set up on you. It's also beatable by Whirlwinders and Knock Offers, so it's probably not going to be fucking with the meta too much.

What the RNG giveth, the RNG taketh away. What the RNG taketh away, the RNG restoreth.
As seen in this battle (Random Battle, 15 turns), I'm gifted:

One of the haxiest matches ever. (VGC 2014, 21 turns)
This isn't my battle: it's one between Alex Ogloza (US national champion) and a stranger on PS named Aqu4m4n. It is also pretty insane how many misses and flinches there were in total. The battle serves as a reminder that Pokémon is fundamentally and deliberately different from games like Go and chess.

As yes, that battle was positively stupidly haxy

Meloetta is fun (ORAS OU, 14 turns)
Everybody forgets about the fact that Meloetta is part Normal and with Gengar around it's so easily exploitable, as seen here. My opponent is Miror B's Ludicolo. HILARITY ENSUES. (ORAS OU, 15 turns)

No offense but you ruined it by not playing along with the references D:

Alomomomomomomomola is MVP.
I hate entry hazards so much. Someone tell me what I did right because honestly I'm not sure how I did so well on this one.

Felt bad for him the entire time up until Turn 32. The first DD was strictly necessary. The second one I can forgive but it's debatably greedy. The third one, though, there just isn't any debate: far too greedy to ask for you to be paralyzed yet again. Crawdaunt's defense is so poor that even Outrage might have KOed or come close to it. *in before damage calcs* Oh well. It was a haxy match for him regardless. I echoed his sentiments on Turn 10 -- aloud and before seeing his text.

The following is idk how old, but it was sometime during Gen 5. Not my battle. I think it's hilarious and shows that even when you're really high on the ladder sometimes it doesn't take a lot of skill to win.

I'm honestly surprised he didn't use Slack Off when Jirachi had beaten him that low. Like that was his one-misplay...likely because it was his only play but still.
