Unban. As a secondary note, somebody mentioned Gliscor earlier, and I actually think it's worse here. If it attacks second it nullifies its healing for the turn, and aside from toxic orb passing it doesn't get much to pass.

It's not the fact that it's two setup moves but which setup moves they are and the mon using them. It's gonna die before it pulls off the sweep.

You say it's non gimmick with not one but two setup moves. Somehow I doubt that.

Pumpkinz, the Feraligatr's a meme set. I'm well aware of its flaws XD And while I'll concede that 127 attack isn't abysmal, it's still not doing that much damage with a 50 BP move. And yeah I went for the extreme with Earthquake, but really any physical attacker in this will kill it without...

I think Blacephalon's a bit too much of a sitting duck with that set. It's using its lesser attack stat for a 50 BP move and doesn't get any less vulnerable to a simple Earthquake. Now, for a truly crazy setup sweeper, how about +3/+3 in a single turn without being Combusken? Feraligatr gets...

I personally think that all the common priority moves should be banned as items, but the ones like Accelerock and First Impression stay. Perhaps I'm just biased because Golisopod enjoys the priority.

Speaking of Lele, Accelgor seems like a pretty good answer to it while not being half bad at simply wallbreaking. Acid Spray as the item basically destroys the opponent's chance of withstanding incoming special hits.

Why run any other item than First Impression? The way the meta's coded (Which it is on ROM, btw), it gives the +2 Priority WITHOUT the caveat of being first turn only. Therefore Golisopod's able to have +3 sucker punches/aqua jets and +2 any other attacking move with no penalty.

Also you should probably ban Metal Burst considering it's counter/mirrorcoat minus the prediciton aspect.

Something random I thought of: Should Megastones and Z crystals protect the other item from knock off/other removal methods?

Umm, I think Greninja's Bugged; it can't get anything from Delphox. I'm not sure though, so could anyone explain?

Today, a certain man's made a video that WILL go down in history.

I've used it on a Merciless Megagar. Hex & Venoshock are nightmares when on a poisoned pokemon.

Flash freeze, then Freeze Dry. Thunder Wave, then horn drill/fissure. Sleep, then guillotine. when you have pokemon who can guarantee almost everything dies with two moves, this meta is fun. And then you realize that there's Smeargle, whoo does this strat perfectly.

Wait KyuB isn't even mentioned? Wow. Also, Garchomp now has good fire blasts it can use for reasons other than steel/flying birds.
