    Hate entry hazards, and cannot fit a Defog or Rapid Spin on your team, leaving you like this?​

    Well no more!​
    ​
    As within the Create a Metagame thread, there's a hypothetical clause: the hazard clause. ​
    ​
    With this clause, the moves Stealth Rock, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and Sticky Web are all forbidden from being on any Pokémon from either team. ​
    ​
    Pokémon like Charizard, Aerodactyl, Breloom (with Focus Sash), Slowbro (tanks don't enjoy Toxic), and Articuno would no longer be shackled by hazard fear, and certainly increase in usage. ​
    ​
    If this type of clause were to exist, how would you structure your teams? Would you like this type of clause? ​
    ​
    Let us know below!​

    I would love this forever, but seriously I would like this. I always hate having a Pokémon with Magic Bounce, Rapid Spin, etc on my team just to get rid of these hazards. It also makes it really annoying to use Pokémon like Volcarona to their full potential. I would like to see how this works out. (I don't use hazards myself often)

    I think it'd be a cool addition and encourage more people to be creative in selecting their Pokémon and their Pokémon's moves. I'd love to give this a test run, but only time will tell if it will ever get its chance in the spotlight.

    Not having to worry about entrance hazards would definitely be nice, and would allow for more variety with Pokémon and move sets. I know I've had to make that hard and sometimes annoying decision to opt out of one move to have a counter, or entry hazard myself when I usually don't like them all the time.

    For a second, I thought that this clause was real. I would definitely love to get rid of entry hazards because there never seems to be room on my teams for a spinner.

    If this clause were to be in affect, I'd have to restructure my beloved team, since Deoxys is purely to counter hazards as well as set them up; I'd have a hard time finding a good replacement!

    Would you guys have to restructure your teams at all to fit the above rule, or account for the lack of hazards?
