[S/M] Competitive Discussion & Speculation

[Black117]

According to some of the players who played tested the demo, they've confirmed that Paralysis has now been nerfed to a 50% speed drop increase as well as confusion only "hitting" the user about 33% of the time. This likely might be a response to the infamous Swagger Thunder Wave combination as a Pokemon induced with both ailments have around a 66% chance of not moving for that turn. Also heard that Thunder Wave's accuracy has been dropped from 100% to 90%, meaning there's now a "risk" involve using this move. It it still accurate, but at 10% chance to miss can leave most players in using other speed control options.
