Genies. I am so tired of seeing genies on everybody and their grandmother's teams lol. I know that they're good, but just wow. Same goes for Mega Kangaskhan as well.

^THIS! So much! Stalling is like a sure-fire way to get me to forfeit the match even if I'm winning. It makes the battle REALLY boring.

I'm also not a huge fan of substitute and entry hazards (I don't even like using them. Waste of a turn) but I can live with those more than outright stalling the match till all of my mons are out of PP

I like playing stall...

The play style I hate the most is probably voltturn. It's so easily spammable, and I struggle to bring a stop to it. Even if it's not doing much, it's slowly whittling me down, and I have to have some pretty good prediction to break it. And if you have to predict to win, you're losing.

Oh, and Jirachi. Jirachi can just go away forever.

I hate it when user: Dark Azelf uses stall against me because the battle then lasts longer than 30 turns and I lose interest.

Uhhh man probably dedicated rain teams. They're just annoying to play around. Not very hard to actually win against, though.

I once had a game against a stall team with my stall team that went over 150 turns. I won, and it was totally worth it.

After going through 150 turns of switching, healing, and defending, winning better had been totally worth it else I'd feel like shit :p
