Who thought buffing this was a good idea?

The same people who make slow and bulky ice types.

I like it. It was barely usable at all previously and it's a fairly unique move.
No good battler should rely completely on their items.

It should be able to knock away mega stones then.

This
gives no-mega mons some leverage at least

I'm slightly torn.
On one hand mega evolutions are stupid and overpowered already, but on the other I think it is important that there are some counter-strategies to Knock Off, and Sticky Hold isn't prominent enough on its own.
Dark types weren't short on good moves, Sucker Punch, Crunch and the occasional Pursuit even had a fairly large distribution to boot. A better question would be what exactly warranted this decision?

Something tells me Masuda was triggered over Misdreavus and Magmar being used with success in BW VGC.

If all else fails, Gamefreak is a bunch of scrubs.

What? why do you care about those three moves?

I was really disappointed with Sticky Hold's interaction with Megas. I was going to try out Sticky Hold Gastrodon as a switch-in for Bisharp, but then found out that Knock Off still gets the boost even if the item isn't knocked off, which is bullshit.

>can Knock Off mega stones, but doesn't revert the Mega if it was already used
there it's fine
