This issue with this is that Power Construct turns pokemon into Zyg100. Saying you are banning the form is banning the ability. This is a distinction without a difference. And the problem is that there is no set definition of what is a tierable mon. Is it a sprite change? Stat change? Is it by...

I think in-game form transformations should be tiered as the same mon. But stable forms should not. This is an issue with consistency that we have had for a while and why someone was arguing to ban Gorilla tac and not G-Darm. Effectively it is the same as treating Zyg with aura break and power...

Completely imo rankings S+ Absolutely no business in OU. Completely dominate the meta with multiple sets. Absolutely no consistent counterplay. Geno is wild strong on both sides, ridiculous coverage, good speed tier for scarf, helps teammates with the games most powerful momentum move. Kyu is...

So im #1 on ladder spamming deo sharp with this team: And I think 1) Deoxys -> B+ Needs team support. But clearly has a niche over mew. Stall gives hazard stack many problems. Red card mew is basically useless. Colbur berry+skill swap deo gives you a better match up vs both offensive and stall...

Not sure if you're srs but, ill bite. You said its a worse mew with zero evidence. Have you used both? Not being able to be ohko'ed by scarfed vish i think is quite nice Having a change to live spec ash dark pulse is nice Almost always living specs gar shadow ball is nice Not dying to spec pult...

Can we rank deoxis d or something?

Outside opinion snipe. I do think the metal/kyu-b bans were common sense because they were clearly above the power lvl of everything else. That being said, I think a lot of emphasis is put on tournament stuff and that skews the perception of balance. Tour-play is much more centralized than...

I think darm has been talked to death. so... Grimsnarl. boom. i said it. This thing is insane. It is dominate at dual screens. But the real questionable set is rest talk. Never in my many years have i seen rest talk so efficient and dominate. It is a win condition on such a large amount of the...

Can we get some quick bans. Like do we really need to discuss if there is any world where DD Kyurem should stay in the tier? I think if something is obvious and clearly uncontroversial, something should be done immediately. "Letting the meta settle" is literally an excuse not to have to take...

Because that thread is locked to commoners, I'll post my thoughts here. Dynamax is the big meta question right now. And my thoughts are that it does make most things broken. BUT that does not mean that it needs to be banished. It's really up to us what is the criteria we use to ban things here...

That lando logic seems shaky. Roll compression is good. Not sure if this list is trolling or wat. RotomW+Avalugg=Same rank....?

I would say gunk shot is less needed than HP fire. That's because the only thing that you can only hit with shot is fini. Tang, Bulu fear ice beam. I would say it's only necessary on the scarf set for needed 1hkos on Koko, Lele, and serp. HP fire takes advantage of the fact that SE HP is...

Its been 2019 for like 30 days so relax with that. I like uturn because A) Chipping switch ins is very important to turn 3hkos into 2hkos B) Uturn is safe. If you want to preserve your ash grens health, Uturn is a middle ground between going for the ko and predicting a switch. This is...

HP fire ash is not a thing. I thought I had seen it (it was three words of my second post). Not very relevant tbh because Ice beam or uturn is better anyway. Jordy makes good points. But also admits that dealing with Ninja requires scouting which puts the opposing player at a disadvantage...

A) Who is going to have their only answer to pex be ZDig?... B) They use the same attacking types/spectrum. Zard was either a special or physical attacker making team preview actually useful. Maybe you have more psychic abilities than I do but most of the time there is no way to tell. C) "Hope...
