Balanced Hackmon doesn't have Sleep Clause, actually. Doubles also don't have Sleep Clause, but Mix and Mega somehow still have Sleep Cluase implemented.
Probably a holdover from when Pidgeotite was allowed.
Also, why hasn't Smogon updated any of their pages? A lot of pokemon still have like beta strategies that were copy/pasted from last gen or at best stuff from VGC 17.

The community is the one that does analysis, and Smogon does update pages from time to time when the analysis is done. Admittedly, the VGC 17 analyses are very outdated, even without taking account of VGC 18. Calm Mind Tapu Fini without any special attack investment just feels wrong, man. You can ask Karx about it, but he isn't active as before.
On the somewhat related note, I judge how CAP Pokemon would perform in Doubles.

Krilowatt looks neat, even if its HP is absurdly high.

The very obnoxious Gliscor.
Where there's life, there's hope.
Why didn't they send Zapdos out against Gliscor instead of Tangrowth?

Stupid Magic Guard.
Stupid Unaware.
Stupid Fairy type.

Meanwhile I am here laughing because of how underused it is.

TBH no one thinks OOH CLEFABLE GET HYPPPEEEEE!!!! until they actually use her competitively.
Her design is kind of derpy(though it's grown on me) and it was a boring typing until gen 6 along with unimpressive stats at first glance.
It's a reliable and underrated pokemon though, that much is true.

I dont believe in fairy type pokemon!
New theme music also a box
I like the fact that I've seen Clefairy more times than Clefable in VGC 18. Friend Guard must be very valueable.
I think it’s just really tanky with Eviolite, and unlike Porygon2 it has Follow Me. I mostly see it as a screen to help set up Trick Room, though I suppose Friend Guard would help with spread moves, which are my usual answer to that setup.

Ubers is now suspect testing Gothitelle and Gothorita.

How good is Gothorita?

Wow, Singles is something when Gothita is suspect banned in Uber.

Gothorita serves as an extra if someone already included Gothitelle in their team, I believe. I would say Eviolite, but you know the drill.
Gothita is exempt from this suspect test, actually. It doesn't have enough bulk even with Eviolite.
I don't really know Ubers all that much, all I know is Gothitelle and Gothorita are considered unhealthy for Ubers, ask someone else like Trip, but I bet Trip will be fooling around as per usual.

Shadow Tag is just that damn powerful, even on a pure Psychic with a BST of 490. It gets Taunt, which means it can switch into a support pokemon, and virtually guarantee a KO.
Blowout soon fellow Stalker
Singles sounds awful the more I hear about all these meta things.
Oh really when?
At least in doubles you can gang up on the Shadow Tagger. But then they Protect and their partner basically gets a free turn, or Destiny Bond for a free KO...
It's just a tricky ability to work around.

Show's over. The replay is just me being an ass. If you really want to see it, do it yourself on the replay section.

TBF they kinda had a bad team too.

Okay you were being a straight up asshole. Randoms, you get megacheesechicken, his team has struggle mons, yet you're taunting and telling him to pose a threat, wtf dude? Pretty crappy show of sportsmanship TBH.
Agreed.
You're being really full of yourself chest thumping on a format that is almost completely random.
BH Doubles doesn't have a sleep clause?
