Smogon is actually a front for the Anti-Spirals.
Given that their bans include Excadrill in Generation 5, this is the only logical conclusion.- You do realize Rapid SPIN is one of the most used and useful moves in the entire game, right?
- Not anymore, Defog is much more reliable nowadays. Plus they unbanned Excadrill on BW this year at the cost of banning Sand Rush+Sand Stream entirely, to poor Stoutland's detriment.
