I'd never thought of Sub+Flame Orb. It'd die really quickly, but it would kill soso much. Also, Regirock will completely own NU.Regirock... In NU... Noooooooooooooo

Good Idea!Oh my god. This has to be the silliest thing that happened to UU. Heracross.
Why don't we just put flygon down there also?
Xatu takes neutral damage from Megahorn and gets owned by Stone Edge, good luck switching in with big 65/70 defenses.Scarf Xatu = heracross counter. I am prepared
With regard to the quick hook, I would find it hypocritical to give Heracross a quick hook when other Pokemon such as Cresselia and Yanmega didn't get the hook. Like it or not, Heracross will be UU for at least one full test period.
He is pretty serious. He posted this in simple questions.... too.goddamn it PLEASE tell me you aren't serious...
Do we really need one?? I mean, if Aeolus and Jump can remove Deoxys-S before a test is over due to how ridiculous it was, why can't we remove Heracross if he turns out to be just too much (Which I hope doesn't happen, but whatever)??The only reason Cresselia didn't get the quick hook was because we didn't have a process at the time. If a reasonable process gets developed in time I would see nothing wrong with it (but obviously if it didn't happen with Cresselia I do doubt it'll happen here). I'll talk to Aeolus about Heracross and tour.
Not to get started on a completely unrelated topic, but MvC2, despite being completely broke, actually has had one of the longest running competitive scenes around, second to only Street Fighter II in the fighting world, and to say it wasn't ever extremely popular is a bold-faced lie.This would make me very disappointed if Heracross was found to be overwhelmingly OP and not pulled before the period ends.
Not that anyone cares but I stopped playing Pokemon and UU because of this stubbornness of the system in removing Yanmega and Raikou (and because I started playing LoL but yeah). Playing a number of different games competitively and the long drug out process of banning characters/maps/weapons isn't really fun for the players when you know you are decently skilled and you see someone less skilled than you choosing a broken strategy.
Smash Bros Brawl's community is suffering for many reasons but one I feel was the lack of super majority on banning Metaknight even though BANNED won the poll.
MvC2 is broken and has never had a thriving competitive community.
Starcrafts and SSBM balance and more importantly reward for skill keeps the communities strong and long lasting.
In League of Legends you have the option of banning characters that you deem to be broken. Common sense usually trickles down from the better players once people have played for a week and usually you will see the same 4 characters banned in every game due to common sense. The game continues to grow and people continue to play despite MANY technical problems.
This may not apply to pokemon as the metagames never last long enough for the masses of people to realize that playing with broken pokemon sucks (I see we finally banned Salamence though) because we get new games new pokemon new moves and new mechanics and people just shift to that.
Common sense should always be considered. I trust that the bolded names have enough of it to make the right choice after we've had time to play with Heracross.
And Moltres. In UU Heracross users will probably ditch the Choice Scarf formore power, since UU isn't as fast-paced as OU. Moltres can come in on Heracross and OHKO with Air Slash. Plus, the use of Spinners and Phazers will go up. Spinners prepare for Moltres entrance, while Phazers shuffle Heracross out if he ever comes in before the Spinners can remove Stealth Rock.CRAPPPPPPP Ok heracross in uu is just scary. That is IMBA. Nothing can wall it at all short of weezing. Weezing usage is going to be SO high. Not to mention weezing can't even wow it.
Except that with Heracross in the meta, people will be less willing to throw status around willy-nilly. No matter what change you make to the metagame, the metagame will shift to minimize its influence. Le Chatlier's Principle, as applied to Pokemon.Heracross doesn't need to run flame orb to sweep, with all the status moves in UU he can switch into toxic, burn and T wave. With leftovers he will be hitting 20% harder than life orb while regaining hp (minus the status). While it's all great to say this in threory, he does have a lot of switch in chances to pull this off, i'm about to make a new tean now to see what happens.
People in UU used him enough.What was the reasoning behind moving Primeape?
