Good evening.

https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sv-pok%C3%A9bilities-suspect-kingambit-and-yanmega.3772844/post-10775271 Per the results of the suspect, Kingambit is getting banned, while Yanmega was more divisive and remains free to use!

Hi all, sorry for the wait! The votes are open for viewing, and here's the results: Kingambit will be banned, with a big lead, and... Yanmega remains free. Thanks for partaking!

:sv/kingambit: :sv/yanmega: Pokébilities is suspect testing Kingambit and Yanmega! Past the series of quickbans helping settle the meta back into late gen 9, it's time for a more interesting suspect! Kingambit has been a massive fixture of the meta since its transition to gen 9. With Defiant...

Yeah that's all there is to it... good luck ceasing to exist :)

You should post evidence when making these sorts of reports. That said, I assume you're using a pressure mon that also has other abilities. Those tend to break the client-side display of pressure's PP drop on the opponent's moves. But it actually does still work behind the scenes.

Marty who's working on OM code these days? would be nice if someone has some spare time to work through what is likely a really annoying bug in how neutralizing gas works (or more often than not, doesn't work at all). Definitely not looking to ban it, yes. Also, the latest PR can be merged...

I'm going to compromise with the veil boys and remove the weather elongating stones. Perhaps sun can stay since it seems to be by far the most underutilized and Solar Power has a pretty significant drawback? I'll put in the PR and sun may or may not be added at the last minute.

Restricting isn't an option; arbitrarily disabling abilities from the game's code isn't allowed for OM type metagames. It'd have to be a pet mod.

Yes, before even doing the suspect we're possibly going to ban Gliscor and A-tales to remove the most oppressive evasion exploiters. Garchomp seems poised to utilize it too but I haven't seen many examples. Blanket banning the abilities would have a LOT of crossfire (much more than had happened...

It's a great check for other things like Yanmega... which are arguably also broken, so yeah, getting rid of some broken-checking-broken obligations would very likely be pretty freeing for the meta.

The OU bans + brightpowder should be live on the server now (or after the next restart). It's been a long time since I did this but I figure we could do a classic style suspect test for the two biggest nuisances remaining, from what I gather that would be yanmega and some choice between gambit...

Ew, are people actually stacking evasion items onto veil mons to double down on it? I'm putting brightpowder in the pending ban list as well for now.

The banlist will be updated with OU bans from the past while (Archaludon, Roaring Moon, Urshifu-RS). We can look at yeeting yanmega as well if there's an abundance of issues there; it wasn't yet a significant point of contention in the past
