Yeah, I think at that point it's a bit telling but a choice will have to be made after WCOP. The community has tried at the very least to conserve that mechanic but it's at the expense of so many mons getting banned because of it. Outside of Volc there a few mons that could be deemed problematic...

Hm, i'm actually quite interested in how votes are conducted. Chien-Pao got released mainly in the basis that both Magearna and Zama would reliably counter/check it, yet despite the Magearna ban some people voted to NOT BAN it. Do they consequently think it'd be good even without Magearna in the...

I don't think there is much ground in comparing Ursaluna with Calyrex-Ice? Calyrex-Ice's main problem is that it wasn't Calyrex-Shadow, you had to use one or the other. So i don't think the sample is nearly as comparable.

Idg why you are all ganging on finch when most of those policies taken are actually done by a collective entity. Check out other council members since they actually gave a reason why their vote was as is, and honestly i do agree. It's non consequential to release some of these mons and have them...

We had Kyurem-B in OU for almost a decade, what is the problem?

it's too complicated honestly

252+ SpA Choice Specs Kyogre Water Spout (150 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Blissey in Sun through Light Screen: 65-77 (9.1 - 10.7%) 252+ SpA Choice Specs Calyrex-Shadow Astral Barrage vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Purifying Salt Garganacl in Sand through Light Screen: 33-39 (8.1 - 9.6%) Here...

The thing is, i'd agree cause it would be the most reasonable thing to do, but you'd have to think of the implication and consequences when it comes to keeping that thing in the meta. Actually it's not Cyclizar but clearly Shed Tail but let's say Cyclizar for now. I don't think it's too...

To me it just comes down to the same stuff enabling easy Espathra/Ape/any sweeps, in conjunction with screens that are impossible to defog and Cyclizar just getting a field day passing a sub on broken mons. Tera just adds a layer of impredictability and i don't think the metagame is in a place...

wtf?

wow, tryna protect stall users now huh??? Really hard to play around, forces me to defensive tera most of the time, which i don't mind on Slowking. I'm fine with it around, but i cannot deny that the pressure on team preview is there, it literally reminds me of Volc in that regard

Hmm, Taunt Chi Yu beats Grimmsnarl and Ting Lu can just whirlwind most of the threats I think? There may have a few other things to do but none of them is really reliable, Shed Tail is getting a lot of traction so imo it's soon going to be discussed out and suspected. It's just weird people...

Yea I feel that too, infested with shed tail cheese. Pult got infiltrator so it may objectively be the best option, or switching a dark type into grimmsnarl but they can run spirit break. That was easy to foresee, I don't like cyclizar because it's so mediocre pokemon but it enables such a...

It's just a gentleman's agreement, it's a thing in a lot of competitive games. People in Melee on Sheik ditto would for example sometimes gentleman no chain grabbing. Even when you enter tournaments, you do usually fill up a sheet with your team, it's no different and it doesn't have to 100%...

I definitely agree, I don't like the idea of robbing lower tiers of pokemons because of trends, but this goes beyond just the loudest bunch. I remember Azelf usage significantly increased in Gen 6 because of bird spam with OLT, but in the end, this is one of the many flaws that come with a usage...
