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

If for some reason you dont have one of the many pokemon that can switch into Amoongus, then usually you just let the last valuable member get Spored. After that Amoongus becomes pretty trivial, and at worst just annoying. Yes that does require putting down 1 pokemon on your team, but there are...

Zone still has its use elsewhere. It's not like rabsca or pawmot where your basically playing with 5.5 pokemon until you revive one. While not being OU based on usage, it's still a good pokemon in it's own right, it just doesn't have enough pokemon it can trap and KO. If your team hates...

Why not just enjoy finally being able to use it again? (for the 2 days it is OU for yet another generation) I don't see the point in pre-banning things, I don't think anyone expects a perfectly balanced OU the day Home drops. People just want to have fun until things get worked out and go back...

If the opponent lets you get Calm Minds up sure, but nobody is realistically going to do that. A defensive tera could add survivability, such as Tera Fighting to resist Sucker Punch and Accelerock and provide fighting coverage for steels. Overall though while I think it can work, and isn't that...
