Hello, I wanted to ask if someone is familiar with R/B/Y Stadium with Tradebacks and can tell me if there are some significant options different from the usual R/B/Y standard pokemon/sets. Like I could imagine, that Persian (who can get Hypnosis in Gen2) is now a solid lead or Substitute is a decent option for some pokemon now.
Well sleep only lasts a maximum of 3 turns in Stadium, and Alakazam is a very common lead to force it out straight away, since taking damage or risking paralysis with Persian is the last thing you want to do. So I reckon it wouldn't be a good lead. Since Stadium is fairly stally, Amnesia Hypno should be pretty good. Since Substitute is so useful, lots of things would have 4MSS so the differences between Stadium with and without tradebacks is bound to be a lot less interesting than RBY to Stadium or RBY to RBY with tradebacks. There's never really been any competitive metagame with Stadium or tradebacks, so it's hard to give great answers.
tyvm for your reply! So i see Persian isn't a good lead because of Alkazam. Would Hypno be? It can learn Hypnosis. And which set would you give to Hypno then? Your next point i don't understand since i don't know what 4MSS means.
Well I guess Hypno would have Amnesia, Psychic, Rest, Thunder Wave usually. I'm not sure a Hypnosis set would be that good, but Hypnosis, Psychic, Seismic Toss, Thunder Wave is probably your best bet if you did want to run it. 4 Move Slot Syndrome - means it struggles to decide its moveset because it could do with 5+ moves.
That doesn't seem to be a bad thing to me. Having more options would make us see more different sets than in RBY OU So are there any more ideas? Amnesia Hypno and Hypnosis Persian are on the table until now
