Since we have the mentality to allow things to exist temporarily (ie Mega Gengar, even Shed Tail and Moody for a little bit), I think we should make Sleep legal. Then if it is still a problem we can look into banning it again / introducing Sleep Clause (especially since 6v6 is already a mod...

I thought the point was to make it a realistic or at least a guess at what abilities *could* be, and so I get why Audino may be changed, or Gallade might get sharpness (added to base gallade recently). But I don't see most old pokemon being changed, like Manetric and Gengar, and so I don't think...

Alright, I'll move the discussion elsewhere. Is there any threads that are OU specific unban/policy changes? Can't post about it here, and don't think i can post in policy review as it is OU specific - since unbanning Terapagos and not allowing it to tera is similar asking to unban Annihilape...

Correct me if I'm wrong, which I may be, but would a complex ban that simply disallows clicking tera be completely separate from tiering it differently - it appears that they are different processes? Looking at the thread it is clear that terapagos cannot be tiered separately and that is the...

Dont worry, it'll be power crept next gen and end up in RU. Then we can see if it beats out Espathra or Bloodmoon as the best Gen 10 RU set up sweeper

I think the final 'pokemon' on the radar is likely to be Damp Rock or some sort of weather control, but if it's a pokemon my guess would be Meow, Weavile, or Skewda/Peli. Not sure on how I feel about rain atm, personally I don't think its banworthy after the Arch ban.

I think a whole tera specific survey soon would be beneficial to OU for a couple reasons: - It can discern what aspects people think are broken (like tera blast or just tera entirely) rather then if it as a whole should be looked at right away - Would bring back some people who quit because of...

| 19 | Landorus-Therian | 9.717% | It's not Landover! Also, kinda surprised to see Heatran fall off so hard

If anything I think it should have to do with regional variants to allow zapdos and galar-zapdos, while still excluding 6 darkrai's on one team. It also excludes stuff like that Rockruff difference etc.

That's like arguing to ban Quiver Dance previously when Volc was banned. Just because without it Volc would be balanced doesn't mean that it is the problem. Just because Darkrai is fine without sleep doesn't necessarily mean sleep is broken.

I think Sleep Clause Mod should be look at first before sleep as a whole and how sleep is looked at could change without its existence. If the mod were to be removed, sleep would have to be reviewed and possibly suspect tested. It could potentially (but not certainly) become harder to deal with...

Bit late, but going to put my last thoughts into the Sleep debate. 1) "Sleep is RNG based and still uncompetitive if we ban Darkria and Iron Valiant" Like many other mechanics in pokemon, yes it is RNG based. However, the broken abusers aside (which can punish being asleep and snowball even...

Would like to change my name to Pluim to match pokemon showdown yep - nya

If we are advocating to ban Hypnosis as it can wildly change the outcome of a game depending on the 60% or the 40% chance to hit/miss, then why doesn't moves like Focus Blast also get banned? It's usually used as coverage for Steel types, for example on Darkrai, and can also quite often changes...

You forgot the Calm Mind Choice Specs set smh. At +2 you absolutely TOAST the ou tier
