Serpherior is in all likelihood going to get banned very very quickly once it drops unless a lot of other ludacrous stuff also drops. It's very close to espartha - a fast snowbally mon that is nearly unstoppable if it gets to cheat turns. Which tera enables. That can also run multiple sets viable on their own merits - sub seed and sub glare. It's probably not going to invalidate webs for long. It's only major difference between it and espartha is that unlike espartha it doesn't eventually outspeed all scarf mons, but it does get a lot more mind games with sub/seed/glare.

Im sorry. SERPERIOR. Not even something like Great Tusk -- SERPERIOR is getting banned? Look Contrary Leaf Storm is nice and all but it needs tera and Leaf Storm to actually get stuff done. Suppose it keeps Knock Off. Ok maybe its decent. It can't boost its speed in any way unless you use Glare, and it's fast sure but it's not overbearing. I don't find it overbearing at all man. But idk you seem to know more than me

Have you ever played against serperior before? That mon can be a real nasty wallbreaker under the right circumstances

yeah if youve ever played ORAS/USUM you know all it really needs is leaf storm + glare to wreak havoc. often got checked by certain things depending on what hidden power it was running but the same could be said about volcarona. granted serp has much lower offenses than volc and a less busted setup move but still, underestimate it at your own risk
 
NO MORE GLISCOR LET'S GOOOOO

no i definitely wasn't sitting on this thread all day just waiting for the announcement, it's totally a coincidence that it took less than a second for me to react

but seriously though i didn't spend all day here, i went to see the fnaf movie with my siblings and we had a great time
 
Honestly wasn't sure how that suspect would go, though I wouldn't be surprised if it returns permanently if my predictions about DLC2 end up being correct. Quite a few mons probably appreciate this ban, including broken Sneasler who I am glad other people are finally waking up about.
 
hm, Gliscor got banned. Neat.

Great Tusk still better, Lando-T fans keep coping (he won't drop to UU, hopefully)

For real though, how do y'all think the ban will shake up the meta? What gets worse? What gets better?
