When exactly are we getting that? And will all other Mons with unreleased hidden abilities receive those abilities as well?Look on the bright side guys we may not have gotten any good drops but... We get Contrary Serperior in a few days so that is at least something to play with.
Well, I'm going to be honest, these bans were kinda unexpected at this time, I was thinking they were gonna happen after rachi moved up. I think after jirachi and maybe suicune leaves I will be happy with the tierHey, so things are a bit quiet around here so here is something to spice it up.
Zygarde and Alakazam have both been banned.
Zygarde combines absolutely fantastic bulk, typing and move options in order to become one of the most effective sweepers not only through Sub + Coil but also when equipped with Dragon Dance. Zygarde has the potential with just two sets to be able to completely dismantle almost every playstyle, where stall struggles immensely with Sub Coil, while Offense struggles against Dragon Dance due to the bulk that means Pokemon such as Mienshao and Krookodile can't even revenge kill it. If Zygarde manages to get behind a sub or set up a DD, there is almost nothing in the entire metagame that can go toe to toe with this monster, so with that Zygarde is heading to BL.
Mega Alakazam sits on its perch as one of the most terrifying wallbreakers/revenge killers/sweepers to ever grace UU. It's absolutely mind blowing offensive stats with 175 Special Attack and 150 Speed (making it tied for the fastest UU Pokemon in the tier alongside Mega Aerodactyl) means that this thing is not only hard to switch into but also hard to revenge kill as well. It's combination of moves in Psychic/Psyshock, Focus Blast, Shadow Ball, Dazzling Gleam, Energy Ball and Calm Mind mean that Mega Alakazam can pick and choose the mons it wants to eliminate keeping in mind that just Psychic/Ghost/Fairy coverage hits almost the entire tier for at least neutral damage. Alakazite has finally proven to be too strong for UU and will be returning back to the realms of BL.
Happy UU'ing!
Zygarde... that thing just set up with a ridiculous amount of ease and generally punch holes into teams, decisive ones. I think King UU was one of the guys who really noticed how much this thing stood out as it was simply frightening once behind a sub, sub-coil was easily its scariest set since it becomes a straight up win condition. Either way if I saw decisive moves being won in good games it was primarily hinged on Zygarde punching holes and it did so with far too much ease.I still don't understand why Mega Zam was brought out of BL in the first place; but I'm so glad to see it go. Zygarde I'm a bit bummed about, since I don't feel it's nearly as broken as MegaZam was.
Dear Diary,Zygarde and Alakazam have both been banned.
Zygarde is back in BL?
Good riddance imo.
It cannot possibly by outclassed by Meggron because the Fire weakness and huge special defense difference means Chandelure with Sub and CM can roll over Aggron. Zygarde is a non-issue now I only put him in my post because I wanted to show a comparison. Not to mention NP Lucario is a threat covered by specially defensive pert. usually when building a stall team now I try to pair Blissey with another special defender to beat 90%+ of all the special threats in the tier and specially defensive Mega Pert and Blissey work quite well. Mega Ampharos is sort of nice of stall but the problem I had with it is that if you use it to counter Crocune or CM Chandelure you generally lose because the lack of offensive investment means Thunderbolt is really weak after a couple CMs (and they outspeed so they will be at least at +2 if they CM on the switch). Heal Bell is really fantastic though.I tried out RestTalk Megapert on a stall team for research week last week, and it was decent but wildly outclassed by Zygarde and, to a lesser extent, Mega-Aggron. The few niches it had over Ziggy were usually easy to cover with the rest of the team.
It's decent... but I still find it hard to give that mega slot to anything other than Aggron or Ampharos on most stall teams.
That said, Ziggy being gone means I can finally stop sticking Toxic Crobat on all my teams...
Implying Aero wasn`t a Top MegaThats pretty unexpected...
But, ziggy and zam were pretty easy to spam and hard to check. Ziggy made things more interesting, but will probably kead to a more balanced UU.
Oh snap Mega Aero is one of the top new megas again with thr ability to check mega bee, scept and pidgeot
