    But how do we even know its a bot? Is it a bot, or is it just one person playing a lot of games? If its one person playing like, 5 or so games simultaneously, then yeah its a bot i wont disagree, but how do we know?

    "How does (unban) help the meta" is stupid imo as it presumes a need for something to be beneficial to the metagame for it to be in OU, when all that matters in OU is whether or not something is broken/uncompetitive/sometimes both. "How is (unban) not broken as previously assumed" is perhaps...

    My ideal form of SV OU is one where offensive Pokémon within reason, like Volc and Dragonite and Baxcalibur and Kingambit and such, are free to be in OU without fear of reprisal. I do agree that Legendaries that would truly make the meta about them, like Groudon and Zygarde-Complete and Mewtwo...

    Volcarona mention! Dragonite, huh? Is it still the E-killer variant with added Tera surprise, or does that show how dated I am?

    It shouldnt be justified, just as the rest of em shouldn't either. RNG is a facet of the game ultimately, and while Smogon tries to minimize it, there isn't much we can do about crits.

    I mean, is Wogerpon winning any tournaments? If it's showing up on near every team at say the OtherLeagueTournament, and it's still deciding matches, then it probably is broken, although you didn't need me to tell you all that. I'd like to nominate Toxtricity as a potential check. 252+ SpA...

    Bisharp, and I even get why it isn't used. It's a Kingambit without the King or the Gambit, but it can run Defiant Eviolite shenanagins, and also it'a my favorite mon. I have to throw it a bone, even if I can accept that it isn't realistically going to be tiered OU. Some shit isn't OU but has...

    Not them, but I'm going through the list of Tiering Actions, and unless you can convince a majority of, well lets just go with Qualified Voters on a Survey given these were all either =<70% ban support or 7/9 council bans, to unban Iron Bundle, Annihilape, Ogerpon-H, or Roaring Moon (this one is...

    My hope, my (probably unrealistic) dream even, is Bisharp. A good ol Defiant menace that can be manouvered into a lategame Intimidate, set up with Swords Dance, and sweep whats left of the Opponent's team, kinda like its evolution Kingambit except Bisharp can run Eviolite. My reality, however...

    Not too keyed into the Office League Tourney, so I can't answer 1 or 2. 3: My thoughts are either Wellspring Ogerpon, mostly due to the vibrant discussion surrounding it, or Ting-Lu if/when the Woger action is shelved/enacted because, though I don't fully subscribe to the "TingZapPex" iirc...

    Wouldn't offense not be able to use HDB as much either? Wouldn't they be forced to either stay in and risk dealing with a check, or swap out and have another mon take damage it might not be able to take? Hazards grind down everything not in timbs somewhat equally, wouldn't we want to either...

    What bugs are there to fix that the S2 version doesn't cover?

    I get what you're saying; OU is getting stronger and stronger, but that's legit always happened. Garchomp, the first "too strong for OU" Uber, was dropped down as soon as the next generation proved it had what it takes to take it down (that being shit like Keldeo and Latias offensively, and...

    Wasn't Terapagos banned because the site admins or whatever (I distinctly remember Finch/some other Tier Leaders not being against banning the Stellar Form, dunno if they were for banning it and don't wanna shove words in their mouths) didn't want to ban the Stellar Form of it? Besides, even if...

    Personally, should Tera Blast be banned, I'd unban any Pokémon whose ban reasoning hinged on Tera Blast, so Regieleki, and maybe a couple others? I know some of them, like Gouging Fire and Palafin, were genuinely too much for the tier, but it can't just be Regieleki that used Tera Blast to blast...
