Hey guys. Sorry if this has been addressed already since the EV limit was removed (haven't read the forums in a WHILE), but have we thought about re-introducing Protean? Everything is so bulky now that the free stab isn't game-breaking, and it'd be another offensive option to run in the...

Swagplay isn't overpowered and neither are evasion moves but we banned them both in OU and the latter in BH. If we're trying to make a healthy/fun metagame any hax related strategies should go die in holes. that's my heated opinion anyway, relying on hax drives me up the wall.

Can we also ban chatter? It's a stupid move that requires no skill to use and stupidly specific things (like inner focus) to counter.

I think we should suspect test TA just to see what the metagame is like without it. Imo it'd be very refreshing and a fun re-shuffling.

I think banning t-arrows would rock the metagame in a positive way, be a bit of a nerf to p-Don (which would be nice), and make flying types more viable for team building. But mostly i'd just be sad to see flint's assist team go.

We all agree on the problem, p-Groudon assist spam is bad. we can't agree on how to solve it. I think (at the moment, anyway) that banning t-arrows is the preferable alternative, because what does t-arrows CONTRIBUTE to the metagame? I think it centralizes it and makes team building less...

time for a new thread, now that Heisen's gone! Lets make it happen.

To go off of what Adrian was saying, I'd shy away from Desolate Land in favor of Water Absorb. You can sometimes get free turns because your opponent doesn't know that you're immune to water, unlike DL where it's pretty obvious... In terms of a teammate, our Ogre would always appreciate an...

Rumors' Sceptile I really want to see if we can make a team around a sweeper that's super weak to priority. That'd be a fun challenge and I think ultimately rewarding for the metagame, because it would reduce our dependence on fake-speed (assuming we find a way to stop it) and open the door for...

Sorry about that guys. With Heisenberg gone, most of us are too busy to pick up the reigns fully. However, it's still not out-dated per se, the primals (particularly groudon) and mRay are still as dangerous as ever.

typemons! At the urging of BK :)

*AANNNDDD Rumors took care of everything while my computer lagged yay me!* An underrated set to be sure. Before the server went down i got my pants surprised off when a MegaSnow did some work on my team. I'll bring it up. Turns out MegaSnow is pretty well outclassed by KyuB. only 7% less...

I've raised this issue (which I am in favor of) to the council. We'll keep ya updated.
