I keep seeing this argument by several people and this is quite frankly disingenuous. As someone who, much like you soma, plays pretty much one type for my own reasons (Ice in my regard) I can say with confidence these two situations are not the same. (Mega) Scizor warped the Steel/Bug vs Ice MU...

I have to ask because I legitimately cannot tell. Are you being serious? Or are you just memeing? Anyway, to speak about this suspect test, I'm glad it's finally happening. Before this mon was even put into the game, I wanted it gone. It sounded broken on paper, and in practice it wasn't as...

Thank you for the clarification, also I would like to add that I mentioned the disregard of lower types not out of "They should be considered in these discussions more" standpoint but merely saying that I saw semblances of the arguments used for the disregard of lower types being applied to some...

I wanted to come and give my opinion regarding this suspect test. Even though I have many gripes with Gen 9 metagame and will not get reqs for this suspect test for variety of reasons, I wanted to give my thoughts regarding some of the arguments presented in this thread. I'm quite puzzled by...

Maybe this is copium, but I don't think Ice will lose that much usage, considering we do have weavile back at full power. Some MU's won't be as easy sure, but nothing too major imo. Ice will still be a good type; it just won't have its broken toys that the "Better types" will still retain access...

This may not matter to some people, but its worth pointing out that yesterday, the Mono room ran "The People's Mono" room tour where the specific things were banned (in addition to mono's current banlist): Baxcalibur, Ogerpon (Fire and Water), Flutter Mane, Chien, Gouging Fire, Archuladon...

I have to ask, because this is kinda important. Will Monotype be following the ridiculousness OU is doing by banning sleep entirely? I know Monotype doesn't exactly follow OU, but I felt like this was important to ask because the ban indirectly hit every other tier below OU as a result. That and...

Perhaps my opinion will not matter at all, but when has that ever stopped me from posting them? I certainly agree with most of Azicks statement (though if you banned every mon listed I feel like flutter/zama/gambit, the last two in particular, would need to go immediately), but honestly...I...

I honestly fail to see how this conversation is at all complicated because lets say you do ban A-tales. Guess what? You just run Abomasnow to achieve similar results with Bax. Ban Icy Rock? Use Light Clay (or vice versa). Baxcalibur will still be a problem. Ban A-tales, abomasnow, icy rock and...

No you wouldn't.

Personally I think the only tiering action that should happen is Baxcalibur and Urshifu-S. In particular in regards to ice; Banning Icy Rock, Light Clay, or Alolan Ninetales will not solve the main problem people were largely complaining about in regards to ice: Baxcalibur. Baxcalibur can still...

To be fair, I did say in the post right after that I'm unsure and even leaning towards Bax. To answer this post though, whilst there hasnt been action precedent for Icy Rock, there has been for Weather Rocks in general before. That was my line of reasoning. The closest comparison would be smooth...

Actually....I'm unsure. I think its time to wipe the snow off the windshields and just ban Bax if the council thinks Ice is doing too much. I know I just said get rid of icy rock because it provides so much free value, but the discussion still comes back to Bax in some regard, and I saw some...

Since we're talking about Ice, from someone who has played Ice alot, I agree with Neko's sentiment, that if anything from ice should go first, its Icy Rock and then see what happens. I believe Icy Rock is the superior item to run on Ninetales over light clay since Snow is just so much better...

I do not think Hypnosis is worth running at all on either darkrai and ninetales. I can't speak for darkrai too much, because I'm not familiar with dark post-dlc1, but for Ninetales? You can't cut moonblast or encore imo. Moonblast helps immensely deal with the fighting MU (though with Ape being...
