(WHICH ISN'T POSSIBLE)
Don't even think to disrespect 
again by saying walls it I would like to request you to add heavy slam in your iron hands set or else
can be a problem. gz for reaching 1500!I would say the same thing what driplegend said that if u think chi-yu isn't that good/balanced, ask RADU to make 1 ubers chi-yu thread thing if it's possible (completely bad idea though lol). I would say start checking this metagame discussion thread from page 1 and you will see what sort of sets were made and why it got banned? The sets made are still viable and broken or not?

is top tier. Insane preview pressure and its choice sets are useable. Not a fan of overly quirky sets though, just play into the pokemons strengths and its solid.
is still stupid, mostly cause its ability is so rng-creating. Way too many dark type pokemon lose if they get a single confusion hit and given its a pecharunt its always getting at least 1 malignant chain off. brings. 
One last thing: I am tired of the uncertainty that
Yes this pokemon is beatable. Yes, its defense is terrible.
But when you're staring it down at preview unless you have a few very specific counters it never feels safe to click versus it.
It totally may be a skill issue on my end, but this pokemon is just not fun from a teambuilding and playing perspective.
Its raw versatility means that you can't outbulk it on the physical or special side and all it needs to do to 3-0 so many teams is just randomly slot in a coverage move or trick or something random, etc.
Do we tell him?
- now people are really throwing around the meaning of a complex ban and stuff and there's a whole thread so i'll just give you the tl;dr of that, banning multiscale is not a complex ban, it is a regular ban with the added effect of unbanning a specific pokemon. that said i will regurgitate what radu said earlier, it is (for the most part) a signature ability. it is exclusive to dragonite and lugia and while lugia is an uber with humongo stats that shouldn't even be considered, dragonite has middling to good stats while having multiscale and a huge movepool that includes encore, roost, dragon dance, etc. point is that this guy is broken af, in part thanks to multiscale, in part thanks to other stuff like its great movepool, now the main reason why this shouldn't be allowed is because this isn't how tiering works, you may think it doesn't matter, but sometimes it do, because this would be like banning libero just because cinderace has it even though raboot is right there and it's terrible, opposite example include how diglett saw use after dugtrio got banned due to arena trap, or bidoof using moody in ubers, and this is sort of why we mainly ban pokemon, not abilities or moves or items, we never banned booster energy even though that's what made scream tail, flutter and gouging really good and also what makes iron valiant unhealthy to some, we never banned dire claw despite complaints due to it being a move stuck on a pokemon that only would use it for losing matchups or for the double poison move, and we never banned multiscale for 5 years and we chose to ban dragonite instead.
Unlike your examples Dragonite doesn't have a baby form or any other mon that gets Multiscale that can be used, unlike something with Libero (because at least Raboot was somewhat viable?) so I think Dragonite could be interesting to use with the addition of Encore.
This post fails to realize why I mentioned the thought of unbanning Multiscale in the first place.
tl;dr multiscale is probably not getting banned.
Except this is still a fundamental deviation from standard tiering practice.

Me patiently waiting for the Hoopa-Unbound post (later has yet to come)
usually it's brought win% but there can be a separate stat for picked win%
I think generally speaking the view of watching whether people consistently pick 2-1s or 1-2s is wrong, because it boils thing down to a much too simplistic level. The reality is that there's a psychological factor I try to target that is "That Pokemon is scary into this preview, so this pick is kinda forced" and the way people react to this sentiment is somewhat consistent. There's a level of back and forth where people predict you will click into that specific Pokemon, and then people predict that you will think that, and it's a layered thought of where do you sit in that pyramid. And this is only on the basis of having the one key Pokemon that is scary, but the logistics apply for other thoughts like "I have two 2-1s but one of them is more reliable than the other" or when 50/50s and sequencing are involved.
I don't disagree with this. I should have been more precise in my wording, since tailoring a preview to force a certain reaction is the core premise of 1v1 prep. I'm strongly in favor of running offsets. One of the most powerful things in 1v1 is when you have a non-standard set that 2-1s but your opponents 1 mon looks inferior to the other choices from their pov. Was more referring to teams that are reliant on your opponent reacting to your preview in one highly specific way and has a highly compromised set that doesn't beat anything / loses matchups it cannot afford to lose. Obviously these teams still have a place, I've loaded them and many ppl better than me have too. It's more that they require a ton of thought and a lot of new players tend to treat them as the default when you are usually pretty content to just modify a val/volcanion/dragon. The cost of running jank is certainty and if the set isn't something you are willing to just put on any team then you need to really make sure you are getting your moneys worth.
