Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
My votes:
6/8, good meta. When Gen ended, most of the bans and unbans that happened I don,t approve. Despite that, the meta is still good.
Volcarona is not the strongest Mon of the Tier, but I support a Suspect. Meta improved dramatically in SV when it got banned, I think it would happen here...
Team code 1: WALKER.
The team gets a 7th Pokemon, which will be this one:
Furret (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Frisk
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Trick
- Knock Off
- Tidy Up
- Facade
Basically, you now have a ZU Mon which can remove hazards and mess with...
New FAST effect: This Pokemon will get +1 Speed the first time it gets into the field. Still gets the effect of a suicide lead intended of the original FAST.
Will think submissions for slate 2 later.
Adding on this:
-Espeon was OU due to its role in Baton Pass chains. With those banned, it has no reason to stay OU. Its generally accepted that its a worse Bouncer than Xatu, but it could start UU, since it has enough things differentiating from it.
-Vaporeon has legit use in Rain, but still...
Not qualified to vote, but played quite a lot BW games back when it was current generation and in recent years too. I can see Omanyte being banned, but never before Diglett, Abra, Gastly or Mienfoo. Those 4 are way more impactful and difficult to check in the builder.
Before I proceed, something weird happened. This should have been the last Suspect battle: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2707684955-4572fxovt0kvgh0j2plqdhil6psnpempw
As it can be seen at the end, I get 1750 points. My Smogon account has been linked before the game. However, when I...
4 physical moves on a Mon that doesn,t even increase Attack when Megaevolved :smogthink:
On another topic, as much as I despite Hidden Power, without it Mega Manectric might very well be the worst Mega out of all of them. Especially since new (better) Electric Megas appeared. The guy clearly...
I am a Snorlax hater. In the context of RBY this means that I only use Snorlax like 60% of the time instead of 95%. You should definkitely use Snorlax very often, I just think it's not as mandatory as Tauros, Egg or Chansey. Regarding the set, it depends on the team, but also on the opponent you...
Because if 2 undesirable but not proven broken Mons are banned, nothing prevents of applying the same argument to other Mons. I for example want Gliscor, Waterpon and Gholdengo gone from OU, but there is not enough support for that, nor there is for Kyurem or Darkrai. You need to get enough...
Won vs Shucklegigas, GGs:

I agree, lets get back to how thing were, BUT: if anyone talking on lobby reveals information that might influence the outcome of a game, 1 year Tour Ban. This rule should only scare you if you talk too much, the majority of players wouldn,t be affected by it and therefore have nothing to fear.
