To me, Moody brings up the question: Is Ubers a banlist or a tier. Ubers is officially a banlist, meaning it's an environment where things are supposed to be broken. There are overpowered Pokemon in Ubers which are very easy to sweep with; an idiot can sweep with Extremekiller Arcues. Wobbufett can trap any Pokemon, and guarantee a kill if they are choiced, or guarantee a free turn to set up with the aforementioned sweeper among others if not. The element of skill (and the fun part imo) is learning to deal with these Pokemon.

Psych Up, Unaware, Perfect accuracy moves, Shedinja (lol) all spring to mind when I think of Moody Pokemon. I know they seem like irrational counters, but if Moody really is broken, then I think it would be better to prepare for it than just ban it straight away.

Aura Sphere and Thunder may be brought up, but the former is not widely distributed and the latter is weather dependent.


I disagree with this because Aura Sphere is a common move on Mewtwo and Kyogre is the most used Pokemon in the tier.

Keep in mind that it's only a 1/7 chance of the evasion boost. (even better after protect I suppose but I'm not in a maths atm). I don't think Moody should be banned under evasion clause, because only 1/7th of its effect violates it. I'm sure it would be broken (maybe not to such an extent) without the possibility of raising a Pokemon's evasion, and what would we do then?

If Moody is going to be banned, it should be banned on the grounds that it grants wins based on luck.

Just my opinion~

And why have scarf roserade with Rest and Leech Seed? o.o
