We've been dancing around this "Belly Drum Broken" talking point so much, and we have made no progress in understanding why one side is so adamantly for/against Belly Drum. If you don't mind sharing, dehzao, could you drop some of the teams you have been using that you believe have adapted to...

Your strongest Technician Mach Punch user is Conkeldurr, who doesn't even kill with his Mach Punch. 252+ Atk Technician Conkeldurr Mach Punch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Inteleon: 160-190 (56.9 - 67.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Choice Band can guaranteed a kill with hazards, but Banded Tech Conk has too many...

All really good bans, thank you, OM team, for your service. I am so excited to play this tier more now after final exa---- :inteleon: Nah nah nah, keep this mon locked up. It was banned before because of the nuke that was Protean Boomburst Tera Normal, but even with Tera and Boomburst locked...

The issue isn't necessarily that Ting-Lu does not check them short term or even long (because he does, easily lol), but its more of the fact that your initial team had no way to pressure the special breakers and/or RegenPivot that every other passive wall on your team lets in, forcing you to go...

Respectfully, this team gets its shit pushed in by any half-decent Zamazenta, Scream Tail, Latios, Offensive Gholdengo, Zapdos team. If you want to build around Chien-Pao's breaking power, you need a team designed to bring the leopard's frail ass in constantly as relying on doubling to get...

Cross Evolution, Frantic Fusions, Camomons, Fortemons

The problem is not power, its counterplay. Once Yanmega gets a free switch via switching in after a KO or god forbid a U-turn, you are forced to hard commit to taking out the Yanmega, else it boost its speed to the point of no return. Admittingly, it is not the best into offensive teams because...

A suspect for Gliscor just ended, though voting hasn't started yet for some reason. Even though it ended like 2 days ago... Edit: It's been a bit since the suspect ended, but honestly, I'm shocked that Gliscor was actually banned. Usually people aren't that ban happy, but color me surprised.

Convergence, Camomons, Type Split

Why not ban them both? Both are problems, kick 'em both out. Walking Wake is arguably more broken in Rain because, with Specs in Rain, it does upwards of 41% to Blissey with Water-type Hurricane, and you only really need to run Water and Dragon attacks because Water/Dragon is good offensive...

I think the issue with Body Press is that it is very good into a very offense-dominated meta. If, say, Alomomola, Moltres, or Zapdos were more relevant in the meta, these defensive pivots have no problem coming in on the Iron Defense/Body Press turn and threatening the IronPressers out with...

As the guy who made the callout post for a Gliscor suspect, I had to put my money where my mouth is. Ban this mf Gliscor. The only reason you would not have a problem with this nuisance is because you run only Offense, Hyper-Offense, and Stall, which don't allow Gliscor easy...

I know we just had bans, but how does the council view the prospect of suspecting Gliscor? It just got better as one of its best checks in Urshifu-RS was just banned, and it was already cancer to build and play against before this ban (coming from a balance archetype perspective). We should not...

Bummer, it would be so cool if it did work (cuz defensive mons in this OM don't benefit as much from the gimmick as offensive mons do). Although, on the topic of changing move types, how does the council feel about suspecting Close Combat? I saw it on the radar, it feels like every physical mon...

Can Future Sight not be coded to deal the damage of a type outside of Psychic? I was trying out Water-type Future Sight on Slowking, but then it thudded into an Excadrill, saying "Not very effective", despite the fact Future Sight was in the first slot and had its move typing visibly change to...
