Tentacruel in particular is very absurd now that jolteon and alakazam are gone. Only one revenge killer in Espeon (two if we count the mediocre Tauros) and not a whole lot in the way of defensive answers. Answers include: -Curse Porygon2 and Kangaskhan: Pory gets ruined by a sludge bomb poison...

it seems like I already did a while ago, sorry for not clarifying autumn

As someone who's laddered extensively with Caly-I during both suspects (and succeeded very well with it), no way it's that high. It definitely deserves higher than Kyurem-Black but it certainly doesn't deserve A. It's mostly limited to hyper offense teams cause it's a huge tera hog. w/o it...

Last Respects: Ban

Sucker Punch is used on like, one B- mon and is easily resisted by Tera Fighting. Which legion likes to run for ekiller anyways Ekiller and ting lu are the only decently splashable dark/normal types. the former can't be fit on every team since many teams would prefer a different arceus form...

done

This entire laddering session convinced me that 84% gxe at 50 games would not be an unreasonable requirement Also once again, s/o to Oreospeedruns for the team EDIT: Confirmed

Im arguing that theyre fundamentally uncompetitive. They encourage bad playing. It's also not in the tiers best interest to not take a route that would make the tier better just because of a couple of shitmons

In what world is a 350 bp move that rewards bad playing not fundamentally broken

it also makes no sense to not want to ban a fundamentally broken move/poke just because there's a "better way" of doing it. The goal of a suspect is to make the meta better so if a ban does that (which this one objectively does), we do it, end of story

There's really no reason to preserve it just for Houndstone. ADV Ubers didn't preserve Baton Pass just because something like Volbeat wouldn't be broken with it. Also, Basculegion-f and White Stripped Basculin exist, both of which would absolutely be broken with Last Respects. Last Respects is...

There's a small part of me that want's LR to stay in order for everyone to know just how ridiculously low an 80% gxe requirement is but ultimately, the health of the metagame is more important so LR should be banned. There isn't a whole lot to be said that hasn't been said already but LR...

Miraidon: Ban

Just got recs and personally, Miraidon is an easy ban vote for me. It was manageable pre-dlc1 because of how good Zacian-C was, so it was always at the mercy of letting an absurdly strong threat break huge holes in teams. However, with the dlc's additions of Ho-oh and Necrozma-DM, Zac, as well...
