Absolutely nothing, since Anything Goes is a tier where there will be no bans. Chaos said it himself. There's never going to be bans from that tier, with the exception of endless battle clause.

I'm not saying Mola is bad or Vaporeon is better. I'm just saying don't call it a cleric when it's not :P

Well, given how Custap Berry isn't obtainable in XY...you kinda don't need to worry about it, so that "niche" isn't really a niche that exists.

Not saying I disagree, but Alomomola isn't exactly a cleric since it can't heal status. It's just a wish passer. Slight nitpick.

Ban I feel that Gengarite is both Broken and Uncompetitive, and that while being broken on its own isn't enough to get something banned from Ubers, being uncompetitive can be. Usually, though, uncompetitive elements only get banned if they are strong enough to become an issue. That is why...

Bump. Been testing AV Magnezone extensively and it's alright. I don't know if it's better than standard Heatran, which I could probably easily use since Celebi really does take care of Rotom-W well. No need for Taunt Gliscor is a huge pain, especially if it has Knock Off, since atm Magnezone...

Ah, the thing is though, the argument that "this is ubers, so no ban" is just as stupid and irrelevant for the same reason. The fact that something could come about that would change their minds on that is why that logic is pointless. The pro-ban side believes that Mega Gengar is that something...

Well, voting isn't over, the period to achieve reqs is over. If voting was over we'd have all placed our votes already :P

Too bad that your greninja calcs don't factor in Protean. 252 SpA Protean Greninja Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Dragonite: 364-432 (94.3 - 111.9%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO If Multiscale is broken, you're toast.

Minority Suspect has a point. You either believe that no pokemon should ever be banned from Ubers (including anything gamefreak gives us in the future) or you believe banning pokemon in Ubers is acceptable. You can't say "no you can't ban a pokemon" and then go "oh, an auto-win pokemon has to go".

I'd also like to point out that Wobbuffet does in fact have another ability. Telepathy. Yes, a useless ability, but it is a different ability.

If you're planning on staying in to specifically tank special attacks, especially Super Effective ones, then going Calm with 252 SpD instead of Def is obviously the right call to make. The only calcs you would need to make is if you can get away with less SpD and can then put that into Def.

alwayswimmin A Shadow Tag suspect is happening regardless of the result of the Gengarite suspect.

And yet you used other buzzwords that actually don't apply to the discussion. And what you call semantics is actually crucial to this suspect, as this is a very serious decision and should not be taken without considerable thought put into your stance and your reasoning for that stance. That's...

Sleep clause exists even in Ubers, I don't think you want to bring up sleep. As for the rest, they don't break a fundamental game mechanic, they don't stop the mechanic from working entirely, they just alter it or bend it, as it were. Pursuit doesn't prevent a switch, just changes priority...
