I'm sure everything I say about dmax has been stated already but what I've gathered: Dynamaxing overly rewards the player that gets momentum going first. Once you're in advantaged state it lets you snowball unchecked for three turns. Vastly increased bulk coupled with 100+ base power moves that...

hades666 Whether or not Greninja was banned in gen VI is irrelevant. This is a completely different game. Its like saying Metaknight should be banned in SSB4 because he was OP in Brawl. Sure, I want the Greninja suspect too, but just because Greninja is too good doesn't mean Megagross isn't too...

Pursuit Scizor -> A This thing controls momentum in ways no other pokemon can. It has a relatively neutral matchup against both S tier pokemon (though Defensive Landorus at high HP gives problems). It checks and traps Lele (locked out of or lacking HP fire), keeps both forms of Greninja from...

GoldDraconian Honestly, Smogon has gotten way better about their due process lately. These suspects are a very healthy and giving process. Personally, I could (and did) contest the bans of Garchomp, Salamence and Latias back in Gen IV. Those were super divided bans that shook the format. The...

Shurtugal made the single most intelligent post in this entire thread (and I've read the entire shitstorm). I'm a pretty old timey battler and most of my experience comes from Gen IV, though I've been playing a good bit of SuMoU lately. I could repeat everybody and say that phero is OP because...
