Aegislash: Do Not Ban

Honestly I'm surprised I don't see more of Medicham + Pursuit cores, seeing how Aegis is one of the only semi-reliable non-Psychic counters. Mega Garde is handled quite nicely by Mega Scizor (which again, I'm surprised I don't see more use of on stall due to its massive bulk and good defensive...

Seriously though, what in the actual hell are you trying to say here? Quoted from your post: while Aegislash can run a few different practical sets everyone of those sets is ridiculously predictable. and: When I look at Aegislash in comparison to other OU threats I don't see it as...

Bug types have (for the most part) some of the best abilities, and some of the worst coverage. Abilities such as Speed Boost, Technician, Tinted Lens, Compound Eyes are fairly common among Bug types. But with movepools that only include Bug moves, their alternate stabs, and generic crap that...

1. Yes I agree that Scarf Trick Rotom is mostly trash (especially if you ev it offensively), but it doesn't change the fact that it's enough of a thing that you have to consider your opponent's option of running it before blindly switching Chansey into it. Much like how you have to consider...

^This (for the most part). I've been reading this thread for a while, and there's several arguments I see on both end of the debate that I'm sick of seeing: 1. Aegislash doesn't have any counters because he can run a LO set/Balloon/Hidden Power Whatever/Head Smash/any other move/item/set/EV...

Forgot about Cradily (which almost seems like a requirement for the Grass mono anyway, due to the fact that Rock covers 4/5 of Grass's weaknesses). It *is* slow and weak to several common attacks found on bugs though. The rest of what you listed are only useful secondary stabs for a couple...

Idk if it's because I play weirdly, or the people you/I play against are weird, but I have trouble with different matchups from you. Overall I agree (Bug is Mid Tier, due to having some of the best options of most types, but also are hard countered by a few common types like Flying and Steel)...

From the original post, it's a proposal for these:

I love this idea. Can I be Bug Catcher? I can make a legit (for what it is) bug mono. Denisss almost certainly needs to be an admin, with the original BP team. Also, Showderp. Lower level Grunts should almost certainly include: 1. At least one full eeveelutions team, preferably with...

I know you're only including s/a rank so far but i think you're missing a few... Add Thundurus and Aegislash to this list. Why isn't Gengar on this list? He can run at least 1/2 of those moves.

Poor Volcy must really hate rocks here.. Anyway, Dragon/Water makes sense for Goodra due to getting Hydration.

It doesn't do anything to prevent the most dangerous things from sweeping due to dying in 1 hit to them anyway. I bring it out on a Charizard, manage to paralyze it, and die in 1 hit. If I don't have something else that kills in 1 hit, it WILL take at least 1 other thing out if the hax gods...

Ditto can't be replaced on this particular team, since Pinsir, Charizard X, and most of the most dangerous things in the game are effectively impossible to wall or prevent from setting up + sweeping an entire team without some kind of discouragement. I'm going to update later with a post of...
