Palkia A- -> B- Mostly outclassed by PDon and Lati@s. Kyurem-W B- -> A/A- Ice hits so many things it's not even funny anymore. It's also one of the better scarfers out there now. Altaria-Mega B -> D Tell me again why I should waste my mega slot for this mediocre Pokemon. Victini B -> C/C- Just...

I'm not sure how I feel about not suspecting anything in Ubers anymore... *cough* evasion

NO BAN Recycling my paragraph on Gengarite because it still applies here. I don't consider Shadow Tag an uncompetitive ability, and as uncompetitiveness is the only reason to ban anything from Ubers, I think Shadow Tag should not be banned. Several arguments have been given during the suspect...

Yes I meant that the current gen 6 is heavily matchup based, sorry if I wasn't clear. -- I read your post about 10 times now, and I must be misreading something because I don't understand it. So you think this gen is not matchup based...then what does "this issue" refer to? In case you meant...

No, I don't feel bad if any Pokemon or strategy doesn't work well (which isn't even clear at all in the case of Defog Arceus). If your point is that teams without Defog Arceus also have weaknesses (to hazard stacking), then that is a valid argument that can be discussed. It would help a lot if...

Ok so you are basically arguing that Shadow Tag takes away autonomy/control from the player, fair enough. The whole part about all other bans involving choice is at best irrelevant then. Judging from your thoughts on the Chansey example, the problem would be that the existence of trappers...

It is a personal interpretation, your logic is flawed. If all banned Pokemon had been blue in colour, that would not make it a precedent to ban all blue Pokemon. Furthermore, OHKO moves and Swagger do not remove interesting choice ("Is it worth risking my Zekrom by switching it into his Sheer...

There we go

My opponent has been ignoring me on PO the last 2 days and I can't play in the weekend....so activity post

Ah cool, my team got RMT'd. Well, this team is six months old, made back when defensive Yveltal did some serious work against stall teams. Now the team just loses to stall, and should probably best be kept in the original form as that way it is still useful as a counterteam to offense. I don't...

NO BAN I don't consider Mega Gengar an uncompetitive Pokemon, and as uncompetitiveness is the only reason to ban anything from Ubers, I think Gengarite should not be banned. Several arguments have been given during the suspect test to justify a Gengarite ban, but they have all been severely...

Hi, we play in Ubers open. I'm GMT+2, and I can play tomorrow (for most of the day I think) or any of the weekdays next week in the evening (8-11PM) except Tuesday. Next weekend will probably be impossible for me.

... Team matchup reliance isn't a symptom of the uncompetitiveness of Gengarite, it is the reason why Gengarite is arguably uncompetitive in the first place.

Umm, can you explain this?

I have mostly ignored this thread because I didn't like the quality of the arguments used to justify a Gengarite ban, and after recently reading through the whole thing again I must say I still cannot find any good argument to ban Gengarite. In this post I will reply to some of the points made...
