Honestly? You just made my point for me. Why not use Gengar instead? Hoopa-C is brutally outclassed. You pointed to barely nabbing the 2HKO on Gliscor and not achieving it on Torn as a flaw as if icy wind wasn't a viable coverage option anyway. Plus Gengar gets STAB sludge wave, has better bulky...

Hoopa C should move down to unranked tbh As an offensive mon why would you not use Unbound? Scarf Hoopa C gets killed by shadow sneak, outsped by faster stuff, doesn't have hyperspace fury or Hoopa Unbound's great offensive stats or even Knock Off STAB. Sure Ghost/Fighting has great coverage but...

Clefable is S now? Damn it. Anyway, I haven't played OU in a clean month, can someone please explain to me why the hell Mega Slowbro has the dubious honor of being placed below his non-Mega Evolved counterpart? Is regenerator that big a factor? Because when I last checked it was an excellent CM...

Gen 4 Master Race. All hail the Creation Trio!

Oh wow, we were close to getting the Quag back in RU. Glad to see my boy Empoleon repping that 6th place in UU usage, as well as my little cousin Prinplup finally being appreciated for the power he has in NU. Someone needs to make a PSA so people will STOP USING HITMON-FOR GLORY MAC

About DAMN time. I've been clamoring g for this suspect since, I dunno, April? Whatever. Landorus is an overly centralizing threat that I personally believe to be one of the reasons ORAS OU is one of the most boring tiers. Yes, if you just slap him on a team sand expect him to destroy...

Just wanted to point out, since this seems to be an issue people are having, uh usage doesn't mean a Pokemon is viable lol. Look at the viability threads if you want answers on viable, for example Politoed is NU by usage but he's A- viability meaning he has a very well deserved spot on n OU team...

After reading this frankly astounding and well written post, among others, I think I'm changing my stance on this whole Aegislash debate (get it stance change ayyy). But seriously, I'm more or less neutral on Aegislash's presence in OU, and what really hit me was Synchronation pointing out that...

STAR WARS 7 HYPE!!!!!! WHERES MAH BOY GRIEVOUS

I agree with what you're saying, and that's not a precedent we should set. But while Mawile was really very broken even without sucker, Aegislash without KS could potentially accomplish what the OU council intends by bringing him down while eliminating luck and 50/50s from his play style, which...

Well to give an an answer to your King's Shield question, it is undoubtedly Aegislash's best move. Perhaps similarly to how Rayquaza isn't allowed to Mega Evolve in Ubers, Aegislash could be banned from KS usage? The combination if the two is quite problematic after all.

I think the real question is when the Lando suspect will finally happen Suggestions aside though, I'm really not sure how I feel about Aegislash in the meta right now. As stated like a thousand times before me, it makes Lando more broken than it already is and blanket checks a lot of mons...

Thirding(?) Gatr for S. While not broken enough for a suspect, this kong's one hell of a guy Gatr is superb in the meta at the moment, ripping through teams like nobody's business. Sheer Force is such a good ability in UU, and Feraligatr's damage output rivals that of many of UU's finest wall...

The only thing somewhat hindering my argument is the possible reaction of the OU council to this thread....I think it's good that the overcentralizing Giratina is probably staying in uber by overwhelmingly popular demand, but I'm worried this kind of backlash will deter them from unbanning other...

Was responding to a different guy about viability, and you must be on some good side of the ladder then, friend. Giratina is everywhere on the suspect ladder, abusing his massive movepool to degrees he could'nt do in ubers. You don't need to switch in when your foe is worried about the looming...
