Greninja: Ban

Confirming as fail at testing

Most of what I have to say about why greninja should be banned has already been said by everyone else. However, one thing I want to note is that nearly everyone was using clefable, a pokemon that was severely held back by greninja's new move. I assume that mega sableye (which also takes heavy...

People keep talking about how long it takes someone to make a move. I agree that this is unreliable due to factors such as lag and mind games, but I feel like there is some merit predicting on how short it takes someone to make a move. This is especially true for pokemon that could run multiple...

Volbeat for D-rank Volbeat @ Leftovers Ability: Prankster Nature: Bold/Calm EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe or 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe -Thunder Wave -Substitute -Baton pass -Tail Glow/Confuse Ray The only reason volbeat is ever used is for its ability, prankster. This, with the combination...

I'd like to reserve mega pinsir and volbeat for bug, and slowbro for psychic.

I am just following the talonflame precedent. Using your logic, talonflame should not have been banned, since flying and fire destroys grass and bug anyways, and since flying destroys fighting anyways. Just because a type has the advantage, it is not an auto-win. Basically, what I am saying is...
