It's playable in custom battle formatWhere can we play this? It doesn't say anything in the op.
Oh so there's no ladder? damnIt's playable in custom battle format
It's really *snickers* simple: 1. Set up, 2. BP bullshit, 3. Own face.Simple + Smeargle + Acupressure
Read post #233, Aerilate Archeops is banned.Nobody's mentioning Parasect (which i'm not surprised by). It gets Prankster Spore which is annoying (obviously). Extremely frail though
Aerilate Archeops also exists, so 1.95x Return is fun
Unburden Ursaring gets Belly Drum (this is just something I found)
On the CONTRARY, it's still legal (IDC it's improper grammar) with Speed Boost. Master Race Chandelure & Celebi
Magic Bounce Mew
There are still a lot of huge threats that might need to be banned
Ya I agree that Simple is quite a broken ability, especially with mons like Smeargle who can pass tremendous boosts quite easily. Idk about Contrary, as like you said Cobalion does have to deal with immunities and such. Defenitely deserves a looking into...Simple should be quickbanned, it simply has too many dangerous abusers(Salamence, Suicune, Slowbro and Snorlax are the most obvious, but even something like Shiftry becomes insane after a SD). There are only four viable Unaware users(Clefable, Quagsire, Umbreon and Uxie), and some of the Simple setup sweepers can break through them(i.e. Shiftry beats Uxie and Quagsire). Not to mention Smeargle, which can Baton Pass moves such as Coil, Swords Dance and Tail Glow to devastating effects.
Contrary looks more manageable, mostly because it's countered by immunities and not just by Unaware, but still pretty insane. The best abuser is probably Cobalion, with a set like Close Combat, Iron Head, Superpower and Substitute or Magnet Rise. Pursuit users such as Bisharp(Bulletproof or classic Defiant), Tyranitar(Classic Sand Stream, Tough Claws, Tinted Lens) or Weavile(Water Veil, Wonder Skin, White Smoke or Water Absorb) are all great partners, as they can remove annoying Ghost types from the match before it starts to sweep.
That's like saying Diggersby and Sylveon should be unbanned un STABmons. Prior to the revamp, Alphability was about basically allwoing broken shit, Sturdinja, a simple poke, and Slaking on every team. This new meta (sips coffee), is about balance. That's why pokes are allowed their original abilities, and Megas don't apply to the Alphability rule.Can we not ban anything and keep this metagame really unbalanced just for the fuck of it? I mean, it gets cancelled out, doesn't it?
