I am very amused

So I have a question regarding how new typings are determined: If I were to use Noibat (flying/dragon) as my base and cross evolve it with Gyarados would it become pure flying or would it remain flying/dragon? Alternatively, if I were to cross evolve it with Steelix (evolves from rock/ground...

Snaq, it seems you haven't addressed using protection moves as a trademark as it not only can induce endless battles but also guarantees a safe switchin (feint doesn't count and neither does pursuit as they're both useless if you mispredict)

Rock climb is incompatible with sheer force.

not to mention that a lot of pokemon get infestation which doesn't miss.

Skill link is not a thing. Physical offense is still more viable than special offense because mold breaker is a thing. Guts would be completely useless since no physical mon would ever have offense.

As long as fur coat stays, tough claws should be replaced, since the only time it would be relevant is drain kiss(a move that is only relevant because of TC and technician). Technician is similarly nonvaluable.

The reason we switched back was because no-one thought Stabmons 2 was fun. The reason we banned diggersby is because it is broken(no viable pokemon can check all of his common sets) and overcentralizing(he required every team to have at least 2 answers to him). If the metagame appears to be...

Scizor(ite). Scizor is undeniably an extremely good pokemon in the meta and I believe that it is potentially broken. It has amazing wall breaking power speed and bulk as well as the best non-e-speed priority in the tier.

I really don't know what there is to talk about with diggs since, although his shell smash set was super powerful, when he was banned, he was banned entirely on the pretext of his fake speed set. If we compound that with the facts that one of its two offensive checks at the time were...

Eevee General would i be correct in assuming that we ban moves because they are the primary reason for making a broken pokemon broken? or no?

I didn't include Altaria because I forgot we currently have an ou banlist.

Belly Drum: the only reason this is more dangerous is extremespeed. Get rid of espeed and lopunny is the only pokemon that gains bdrum that would consider keeping it.

Saying that illusion isn't uncompetitive because it uses a definition of chance not recognized by smogon is like saying stag isn't uncompetitive. As far as I'm aware uncompetitivity isn't about rng but rather taking player skill out of the equation. Stag prevented players from reacting properly...

The code won't work on a showdown server.

I'll explain the difference between a lure and Illusion in this metagame. Lure Your opponent has a 3 of a kind You have a full house You act displeased They think you have a bad hand and raise their bet You win Illusion in this meta You're using Ganondorf in Smash You start the charge up...

I should say that I was (very)tired when making my post, so a few misinterpretations were inevitable. I also wasn't arguing for xJownage's position, but at the time I hadn't noticed any apparent flaws with his argument and probably won't look back. Weavile was in fact not even (openly)considered...

I'm going to try to fix this argument. Don't argue that the majority is right without proof(bandwagon fallacy) Banning philosophy is not in any way related to gambling. It is making a decision based on principles, namely preserving the balance of a tier while trying to encourage a greater...

he knows that. he never said it was coverage. if you don't understand you should look up facade.

That would also be directly nerfing sound-based moves
