Glad to be having so much fun with ADV OU lately, thought after 20 years I was starting to hate pokemon, turns out I actually just hate tera
Forum name: Vent
Cycle 1 Alt: LT91BB Vent
Does my alt for Cycle 1 contain my forum name or a very similar variation/abbreviation of it as required by the rules?: yes
Personally I'd put on both Dragon Claw and Poison Jab instead of the bug moves, as I can potentially see an overabundance of fairies and dragons. Dragons because they're powerful, fairies because they are immune to dragon.
I think the general consensus is for Eviolite to be banned. If anyone objects, please say why, but for now it's on the banlist.
I'm not sure where I heard Shedinja was hardcoded, but thanks all for correcting me.
Dragonair/Dratini are immensely powerful. They have a lot going for them. I consider this further proof that Eviolite should be banned, but maybe they are outliers and simply need to be banned themselves rather than Eviolite.
Fraxure/Axew also may warrant some looking into.
I was thinking about that when I was actually coming up with the idea, but decided against it, as having multiple stat spreads per type in my opinion defeats the purpose.
As for right now, there are no banned Pokémon. While it has OU clauses, there aren't any banned Pokémon as of now, as I don't see a reason for there to be banned Pokémon, like you said. Although, Smeargle may warrant a ban.
Theoretically, yes, but I believe Shedinja is hardcoded to always have 1 HP. If/when this meta is coded, Shedinja will have to be manually set to that base value.
The current banlist is now:
- Huge Power
- Pure Power
- Light Ball
- Deepseatooth
- Deepseascale
- Thick Club
I'm still for banning eviolite, but if it doesn't appear to be as big of a problem as I think it is, I'll keep it off the banlist. I don't want the meta to be run by me, I want it to be...
Going off of this, I personally think Eviolite (and also Huge/Pure Power) should be banned for reasons like this:

That's a base 111 Defense with eviolite. After...
Just some more random statistics:
Highest Base HP is 82
Highest Base Attack is 104
Highest Base Defense is 111
Highest Base Special Attack is 89
Highest Base Special Defense is 83
Highest Base Speed is 82
No stats can surpass these. They are the absolute top of the top.
Also, dragon is...
That's a good point that I didn't think of entirely.
I edited the OP. I suppose all of their stats except HP could change. If anyone else has a better solution, let me know.

Stats are the defining characteristic of Pokémon, the things that make every breed of Pokémon different from the other.
We're going to take that individuality away like the evil people we are.
