Done! In the OU Ladder replay I wasn't paying attention and messed up on turn 120 by not heal pulsing and not getting the mienshao back to full from 50%. That mistake meant I couldn't rest without letting it die. But it is pretty clear had I been paying attention I could have let it go on forever. My team gets around the first combination bans by using Skill Swap + Magician + Thief to eventually get the Leppa Berry. Since my Gothitelle is itemless, it technically does not have a Leppa Berry so it evades the Recycle+Leppa Berry ban. Magician + Skill Swap gets around the Leppa Berry + Trick / Switcheroo / Bestow / Fling bans. In order to get the opponent to take the Leppa Berry, I need Knock Off support + Thief Gothorita support as well to get rid of their item. The addition of Hoopa-Unbound to OU recently made things a lot easier! In Anything Goes, Knock Off Mega-Gengar can be used to ensure the certain pokemon do not have items, which is an upgrade from Thief Gothorita. I am also sure you could make a team more optimized than this.Endless Battle Replay on OU Ladder: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.co/ou-250918275 This team successfully evades all the bans that Zarel listed in that he listed in the first post. Sorry Zarel, but your "cat and mouse" game is not as difficult as you think. Within less than a day I was able to get around the bans, and I imagine if we go with further bans there still be problems. How do you patch this up, a Leppa Berry + Thief and Leppa Berry + Covet Ban? At this point we are using 6 bans and there still is a problemLetting Leppa Berry stay unbanned is a detriment to the ladder and PS!'s users, especially those who are still learning and A. might not understand how to play around this and B. are getting into the metagame and need to memorize our clauses. Leppa Berry should go, no matter how fun trolling with it and finding new ways to use it is :(Also can I get confirmed status on my doughboy account thanksedit: Another victim falls to "endless fun" team on the OU Ladder http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-250946625
