Spikes vs. Stealth Rock

[Six Trails]

Which entry hazard do you find to be more of a hindrance?

 

[Kyo]

Stealth Rock. Spikes can't reach its full potential unless it's used thrice (and if you're the one setting up the entry hazards, then using it thrice can be annoying). Stealth Rock can potentially do only a little damage, sure, but aside from that it can also do a whole lot (even more than Spikes when there's a x4 weakness), a lot of good Pokemon are weak to it, and most importantly I believe that there are almost no Pokemon that are immune to it, unlike Spikes where lots of Pokemon are immune to it.

rocks all day, charizard and talon flame bye bye

Combination of the two is the most annoying. 12% + 12% and you only need to use up two turns

 

[Event Horizon]

Stealth cocks all the way.

I remember when me and a buddy used to battle and he would get so upset whenever I used SR - it was hilarious.

Does three layers of Spikes do the same or more damage than Stealth Rock (assuming it's a Normal Pokémon for both scenarios)?

 

[Uchiha]

3 layers of spikes does 25% as opposed to 12% for rocks. But no good player will let you get off 3 layers without seriously making you pay for it.
