Latest NewsFeraligatr Quickbanned from RUPosted by atomicllamas on March 13, 2015The RU council has decided to quickban Feraligatr from RU. The reasoning is below: Gaining Sheer Force gave Feraligatr three crucial boons that resulted in its ban: the ability to hit tremendously hard straight off the bat, have the capability to run Dragon Dance and even Specially Based-attacker sets to limit its pool of checks, and accentuate the power of its already fearsome Swords Dance sets. Between its above average bulk and pure Water typing, Feraligatr found many opportunities to set up all the while being incredibly difficult to revenge kill once it got going. This significant increase in power made Feraligatr very difficult to check and nearly impossible to counter outside of a select few defensive Pokemon, especially when it employs the use of Substitute, and outside of Choice Scarf Rotom-C, very few if any Choice Scarf users have the capability to revenge kill it. In the end, the addition of Sheer Force made Feraligatr, an already good RU Pokemon, too powerful and versatile for the RU metagame to handle. atomicllamas is the new RU Co-LeaderPosted by Minus on March 9, 2015Congrats to atomicllamas for becoming the new RU Co-Leader alongside Molk.
