Where did I ever indicate that my theorymoning was accurate? I was just listing pokemon that MAY be broken under infinite Rain with Swift Swim.
As I said before, Swift Swimmers are broken under Drizzle. Swift Swimmers do not cause Drizzle. Blaziken is broken with Speed Boost, however, another pokemon does not provide Speed Boost for Blaziken. Therefor, Blaziken is the broken party. Banning Speed Boost on Blaziken is totally different from banning DrizzleToad and SS Kingdra being used in tandem, because
Speed Boost is part of Blaziken, Infinite Rain is NOT part of Kingdra.
There is no single broken party with Swift Swim and Drizzle. Neither is broken without the other, IMO.
As for why I don't think banning Drizzle is the answer:
- Makes Rain Stall unviable
- Makes Rain Offense Unviable
- Will almost certainly lead to a ban of Drought, and possibly even Sand Stream [Hail sucks]
Banning Kingdra and co is not the answer because:
- Some of the pokemon, such as Ludicolo, who are not broken of their own accord, have uses in other teams [Rain Stall] and teirs. Blaziken was broken of his own accord, however, so do not bring up Blaze Blaziken against this, as the two situations are not the same.
- Could lead to multiple bans of pokemon not even OU worthy under normal circumstances [Huntail? Carracosta, Omastar]
- Will slow down the suspect process, by repeatedly testing the same types of pokemon again, just the teir below them.
Banning Swift Swim is not the answer because:
- Banning Swift Swim would have to lead to a blanket ban on all equivilent abilities. As the rain can't be the broken party, otherwise, Drizzle would have been banned, and the pokemon cannot be the broken party, as otherwise, they would be banned. Therefor, an ability that doubles speed is broken, so Sand Rush and Chlorophill are broken.
A Kingdra + Drizzle Ban... eh, I don't like the idea, but, it would work. You'd have to extend it to Kabutops though... and what about Ludicolo, who's used on Rain Stall and Swift Swim abuse?
How about Garchomp + Sand Stream?
Volcarona or Venusaur + Drought?
Notice the floodgate?

As for my ideal course of action?
In all honesty, the more I play now, the more I just want weather gone. More people are now running rain offense, almost at the levels of pre-Alderon. Sand is high too, and so's Sun. Were back at square one, it seems. Normal teams can't flourish, unless they're abuseing multiple suspects who are powerful enough in their own right to dominate non-weather teams, but the sheer might of weather keeps them 'checked', such as Latios and Renkulus, sand in particular being the check for these two. Due to Tyranitar.
Seriously, I personally want Drizzle/Drought/Sand Stream gone, or, I'll just wait on 5th Gen UU. At this rate, it'll basically be 4th Gen OU, after all.
However, I'm content with Alderon at this point, because if Drizzle is removed [Which is the next logical step, seeing as Rain is still insane], well, prepare for a 2-weather metagame, with every other team being more or less the same.
