If I could, I'd just say insta-ban it right here and now, but since I assume that's not an option, basically everyone and their mother wants Arena Trap gone and are saying it should never have been unbanned to begin with. I'd say more about why but everyone's said a thousand times what's wrong...

Just saying, if you're going to put Beast Boost and Soul-Heart together, you should also include Moxie.

As much as I understand where you're coming from... there's already a super-majority forming almost on the level of DMax. We would only be delaying the inevitable. Plus, Shofu himself would probably make a video about it regardless as well.

The only recent "precedent" is all of three abilities, two being the trapping abilities which were explicitly proven to be broken themselves, while the other was merely the activator for a broken form change for Zygarde, which formes are generally tiered separately. The old Swift Swim and/or...

I completely agree here. I know it was already explicitly stated that this thread is only for Darm, but we really need Arena Trap gone just as much, and we all know the outcome of that because it's the same outcome we've always gotten with Shadow Tag/Arena Trap. We don't need to waste a week on...

I'm no ladder expert but the damage Darm can do in its current state is insane. Scarf tears teams apart. Band KOs just about everything, no question. If my say has any weight at all, I would highly suggest a quickban. Darm's power level and ability to run multiple options that handle each...

I'm not going to pretend I have enough skill to get reqs, but I'd highly suggest just quickbanning it and getting it over with at this rate. Megas are basically just like any other Pokemon in OU except a bit stronger and no items, while Z-Moves seem like they'd either be forced to be saved for a...

Power Construct was banned because Zygarde Complete was banned, and Power Construct was merely the path to get to that broken Pokemon. Sand Rush was banned in Gen 5 because weather was a constant effect. It never ended and could be set up as needed. Under those conditions, Sand Rush was broken...

Sorry, I was trying to explain why Gorilla Tactics is nothing like Shadow Tag and not worthy of being suspected. EDIT: On that note, can we get an official mod declaration to stop trying to argue for an ability ban when said ability is clearly not broken itself?

This is not even slightly a first of its kind situation, GT is not broken, tiering policy says ban Darm, why is this even being entertained?? NO! Just... no. You miss the point entirely. Shadow Tag Caterpie would still be broken entirely, even if not in OU. Here's why: Let's say Caterpie is...

Thank you. This is what I've been trying to say the entire time, basically. Idk what else to add on to this, but this is basically part of why Tiering Policy is what it is, and Tiering Policy dictates since neither Darm nor Gorilla Tactics are broken on their own, Darm as a whole is the one that...

Basically, what qways said. Tiering policy dictates we ban the problematic Pokemon first, regardless of its distribution. Just because this wasn't done consistently in the past doesn't mean it's not supposed to be how it's done. Ability bans are only done in extreme and rare cases. Shadow Tag...

This is a HEAVILY flawed way to look at it. The reason why Gorilla Tactics itself isn't inherently broken is because, like Huge Power before it, it's merely a power increase, only this time with detrimental effects to go with it. Huge Power is only "broken" in the case that the Pokemon it boosts...

The thing is, it's not Gorilla Tactics that's inherently broken. It's that, combined with its already naturally absurd Atk and solid movepool. If the logic here is "Gorilla Tactics should be banned because it increases the Pokemon's Atk by 2x", then by the same logic every Pokemon with Huge...

I wasn't going to comment here at all due to me not having a Frosmoth's chance in hell of climbing ladder and pretty much being unable to come up with anything that hasn't already been said (I don't know if anyone's mentioned how much of a meme "defensive dynamax" is vs an offensive dynamax...
