Says the guy who cherry picks shit. Learn to adapt or dont fucking play.

@ tehy This is part of the reason no one likes Smogon because everyone comes off as entitled elitist and fuck anyone else with an opinion that differs from the masses. I know I have bias towards mega pidgeot and thats why I'm not going to vote in whether or not its going to stay in UU or not...

I've got hundred of hours of using mega pidgeot and I've seen some shit. Rewatching my older videos, I did say in one of them Pidgeot is quite broken because against some team, pidgeot just shits on stuff (this is the exact same in OU too) I do want to withdraw that speed comment but only...

How does t force it way past it counters though? Even if pidgeot confuses its target, there is a good chance it wont stay in on it if it cant get the kill but most teams are equipped to deal with it, unless its checks go down. Pidgeot like chess, even more so when its on the winning side.

Im just saying its not a free as people think it is. You need to work on a sweep with it and take down its threats. This is nothing new in Pokemon.

Pidgeot still has to mega to gain that 121 speed. There are also a lot of mega that have a lot of tools Pidgeot doesn't. Beedrill has a powerful u-turn with base 140 speed. Each Pokemon has a role they play. There are also pokemon faster than pidgeot that can use its no guard against it.

I prefer balance teams so I don't run into these problems. if you run a team that can be easily swept when you have options to deal with it, crying for a ban isn't the way to go. A good player will figure something out. Im not saying Mega Pidgeot isn't strong but it doesn't do anything no other...

You can use walls. If a player wants to use HO, they risk getting swept and if they want to run stall, they risk getting setup on. Just the nature of these things.

That was a good replay and shows what it can do when it can setup but like others said, this is no different than a +6 sweep with another Pokemon and Pokemon has always been a game of removing your opponents key pieces so you can bring in your sweeper and take the game. If you're not playing...

I guess I just dont have issues with it. I always have fast lightning types on my team and something like cresselia.

I agree with your post. Sure Pidgeot is good but its not like people are running things like Empoloeon and other pokes because of Pidgeot. I have notice nothing has changed much as well and well balanced teams should be able to handle it. Right now when I build my teams, its to stop beedrill...

thats exactly my point. IF you can setup a work up and the opponent does nothing about it, then good for you. A good opponent will do something about it. Beedrill also can u-turn and create momentum and in most cases, it does it better and goes into something that can be a threat. Even Pidgeots...

I do understand the game. I've been playing smogon competitive since gen 4. If theres one thing I know about pokemon battles, nothing every goes according to plan.

and those 3 pokes also outspeed the rest of the meta. There are options to use against it. Well, yeah, they have to run timid.
