Not to be a downer but like its hard cope that there is any other issue in the tier as large and as prevalent as Chien Pao. Users will naturally talk about a mon that is obviously gonna get banned (Hopefully somewhat quickly) and somehow avoided the previous bans because the stuff that was...

Day -3 of wanting Pao gone

Don gets 2 tapped by Tera dark lol

Reliable counterplay lol Just be faster then it/use priority is the worst argument for making a mon seem fair, especially when said mon has access to it itself. There is like 3 mons in the entire game that can even switch into it.

My experience playing on ladder Seriously, Chien Pao is possibly the only broken thing left in the meta. Its taken the exact same position as Chi Yu after its been banned and is causing the exact same issues. Something needs to be done about it.

From what ive seen from my years of playing, the people who bash on Smogons bans generally dont play any formats. Or they try VGC and realize that games are over in like 4 turns and are incredibly luck based, which may net them some cheese wins, but that doesnt work at all in singles so they get...

Unga bunga me click high bp move and go first me should win Me want use 650 base stat pokemon because big number give brain yippee juice Or cover legends, or ruin pokemon, or charizard, or wooper.... Real talk the tier that you want to play is ubers, its literally right there, hell some of...

I cant think of a single positive thing Pao offers right now. Why it wasnt banned in the previous quick is beyond me. Its just a physical version of Chi-Yu. Every single argument for keeping it are the same ones that Chi -Yu violated. Please ban Chien-Pao it, we suffered through a solid...

Guys..stall is healing Real talk tho Garg is a monster right now because noone seems to want to run cloak on a defensive mon. Ive cheesed probably 50 games against Gargs on ladder right now with either Covert Cloak Clodsire or Ghost Garg with a very small speed investment because it outspeeds...

Learn to adapt to a mon 1-2 tapping every mon in format. Learn to adapt to a mon that has the best ability ever with one of the best typing and best stat/movepools ever. That isn't adapting. It's coping. Chien Pao is another brainless click button hit hard mon that beats nearly all of its...

This The only real counters against Pao atm is hope they are stupid or meticulously setup a plan for them to have to raw switch into an already setup mon while all they have to do is click tera crunch.

Chien-Pao has effortlessly taken the place of fish. It 2 taps every mon in format with a single layer of hazards and has an unchallenged speed tier. Once again a mon is forcing like 3ish dedicated checks on every team. Who couldve seen this coming....

The only mons that I believe are dumb right now are Chien Pao and Ghold Ghold lost like all its counters and it can run dumb stuff and is 100% unpredictable atm. Pao is fish lite and its only answers are prio and hoping it doesnt 2 tap you. Everything else seems fine bar maybe Espa

Hey, is swift swim + drizzle still banned together? Just fought one on ladder and it surprised me.

I second this. Same situation as the fish just a little less. Minus the whole weavile thing.
