Yeah I'm not in charge (or part of the DP council) but I don't think that's going to happen. Jirachi isn't broken necessarily it just does everything very well (hence it being S3 tier)Can we please ban rachi
https://www.smogon.com/forums/threa...ns-simple-answers-thread.3687274/post-9296457rachi has basically no counters, not even Heatran counters it a100% of the time, you often have to sacc something in order to even kill it
If they dont ban the broken mon there will always be people advocating for it to be banned
complain then but not here, that's not the right placeIf they dont ban the broken mon there will always be people advocating for it to be banned

I'm not sure if you are aware, but copycat as implemented on Showdown is not the same as copycat on cartridge. This was only founded out recently, there is some information about it already on this thread.I suppose so, it is a viable strategy like any other. Therefore, there are also ways to stop it.
In my opinion, Abomasnow fits best on teams that revolve around Zapdos as the primary fighter check; paralysis support, Starmie as the spinner, which spins all day on common rockers like Heatran, and Clef, which takes advantage of hail weakening steels, is itself immune to hail, and has knock to really make that hail chip sting. Pairing Abomasnow with spikes is also a good idea, as they synergise well with hail offsetting the leftovers recovery of steels. Nidoqueen is another decent partner, it has Tspikes to weaken Tar, is an okayish check to fighters, but spikes do just as well and affect more mons. Mons that directly take advantage of hail with snow cloak and ice body are generally not very good and you should avoid using them. I also do not recommend using Tentacruel as tempting as it might seem. There is currently no specific set of mons that best take advantage of hail, but people have tried out all sorts of things, just requires a bit of experimentation.Anyone have any good sample Hail teams?
Concerning the usages yes, there is a big mistake sry about that.In DPP PL II - Replays and Usage Stats (https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/dpp-pl-ii-replays-and-usage-stats.3705228/), the suspect stats have Latias and Jirachi in, but in the signups post, the "suspect" tier is listed as "No Jirachi, Latias, and Spore" (https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/dpp-pl-ii-player-signups-ca-prize.3701945/). What gives?
Smogon is an atheist place, no god is allowed here.Is arceus banned from Ubers? What’s up w that?
A lot of it has to do with it having base 120 stats. It's the 5th fastest pokemon (Darkrai, Deoxys, Mewtwo, Shaymin-S) in Ubers. So it's faster than most things, and then on top of that it's bulky even without maxing its investment. Then, it can run calm mind/swords dance sets with any typing of your choice (especially calm mind). And it has stab on Extreme Speed, which is a really good move even without stab.Is arceus banned from Ubers? What’s up w that?

Spiky eared pichu is not little cup legal as it does not evolveIs Spiky-eared Pichu usable on the simulator? I asked because it is technically marginally better in LC than base Pichu (it gains Pain Split)
As someone who's been pretty dedicated to the tier Mence's issue is that it has Base 100 Speed + Dragon Dance + Outrage which is very easy to spam in gen 4. Is having Latias unbanned help reasons to have Mence in the tier? yeah it does but it will outclass Dragonite immensely. As someone who's played DPP 13 years ago, Mence, Chomp were very broken and were a must on majority of offensive teams. Could I see Mence being tested? yeah (there hasn't been much discussion regarding it though). I think the biggest conversation has been banning Jirachi.Yo so I don’t play the tier but I been wondering, has there been any talk about unbanning mence now that Latias is free? I’m not gonna act like ik why mence got banned, but in a lotta ways Latias checks it. It’s faster, so it outspeeds non dd sets, and scarf Latias beats dd mence
Chomps in a league of its own, but banning rachi seems kinda whack imo. Ion play the tier but serene grace shenanigans are the same shit every Gen. Mence would help with rachi imMENCEly tho, given its access to eq, comparable speed, and access to dd. Especially with it being held with a tighter leash with with Latias, I think it could be a possible consideration for the meta.As someone who's been pretty dedicated to the tier Mence's issue is that it has Base 100 Speed + Dragon Dance + Outrage which is very easy to spam in gen 4.
