Ok, now these 55 people deemed Sand Veil on Garchomp broken. Everyone has their opinion. What I do not understand is why has Sand Veil been banned from EVERY pokemon who has access to it? This now throws non-DW Cacturne and Sandslash into Ubers. Sandslash has Sand Rush as a DW ability, so it will see some use still, albeit it very minor in OU. Cacturne may never be used again by anyone other than it's biggest fans in any tier possible. It's DW ability is Water Absorb which doesn't help it at all since it's defenses suck and it is resistant to water-type attacks already.
Many people have mentioned bans such as Sand Stream+Sand Veil and Garchomp+Sand Veil. I feel like both of these would be more acceptable, the former more so the latter, personally. If either of these were mentioned by the suspect test voters, what was the reasoning for banning Sand Veil in general instead of choosing one of the two options that I presented just now?
