Hey everyone! Jiggly here, and it has come to the attention of the site that some of the rules of the PP league are kind of... not efficient.
The Perfect Pokemon League is supposed to be a series of challenges to face some of the most epic mono-type leaders the site has to offer. The challenge can be really hard, due to the Uber the leader also wields. Although, with every gym, comes many counter teams. This has proven to be an issue.
Counter teams are often hard to beat, due to the limited options the leader has to build a team, and often times one small thing can ruin a gym. I as an Ice leader have had this issue, as bullet punch and rocks are both super effective against my team, and I don't have all too much to do against them, especially if the whole team has such an arsenal. The reason we first wanted to give leaders an Uber was to make sure that counter teams weren't too much of an issue.
It has come to the site's attention, that current measures taken to beat counter teaming are NOT effective to fixing the problems of counter teaming. Not only is Uber clause lenient for leaders, now leaders can wield an illegal item, and break one clause. The thing is though, this makes gyms even more unbalanced. Now steel gym can have Genesect/Dialga, Mega Lucario, and swagster Klefki where rock gym doesn't have anything besides breaking a clause. What can the rock gym do now, 6 Tyranitars?
If we want to fix the problem of counter teams, we need to take a step in a different direction. Such as restricting challengers to a certain amount of super effective pokemon, or making it so their non-super effective pokemon can't wield supper effective attacks, or something like that. We need a system that can work on a universal basis, and not give a couple gyms a push.
We need to disable some rules of the past, as well as try to fix some things. Make some gym specific clauses for challengers, as well as maybe let all gyms use their type Arceus, or at least rock. The league right now is struggling to find the right footing, and I would hate to see it become a joke like some people are talking about it.
Leave your thoughts below, or suggestions on ways to fix the PPleague. None of the things I suggested are things that necessarily need to happen, just thoughts on ways to fix the site, or a nudge in the right direction. @doulie we really need to help improve the challenge! Not imbalance the scale of difficulty
