So far Hoopa-U, Mamo and Crawdaunt look like aids. Little/if any checks and the ones they do have still take insane damage. Wouldnt be surprised if all are quick banned tbh. Sun, Rain and Snow/Hail look more viable (ironically) now there are less bulky options to come in to disrupt weather...

The problem with Venusaur is it only has a few hard counters and a few shaky checks. I feel, like others above have said, it really puts great constraints on team building more than anything. The strange thing is it somehow manages actually outast alot of these checks and counters too because...

This is basically my argument, i know Xatu is "shit" but the above worded it better than i did essentially. Im not arguing for Xatu being an issue and i wish people would stop taking me out of context. Xatu isnt going to replace Sable but it does cockblock passive mons, just as Sable does so...

For a start it would be using actual def evs (i mean, why wouldnt you?) and not using max speed and Roost which nulls Stone Edge and Gyro. :| I also use Reflect which also coincidentally stops Pursuit but thats probs just me lol.

My point is that Xatu does the exact same thing as sable in regards to making passive mons useless (i.e people were arguing about it making things like skarm, ferro and hippo obsolete as the basis for an argument). I wasn't arguing it can replace sable at all. Im literally just arguing Xatu...

>Missing the forest for the trees argument. Point is, Xatu still shits on all those passive mons so ultimately its defensive stats are irrelevant when passive rock setters cant touch Xatu or Sableye (which was my actual argument) whilst also struggling with the same shit sable does bar maybe...

I dont understand how "doesn't promote variety on stall teams" is a good argument either. When i make a team, i use my mega to cover the weaks my team has or build around it said mega. Basically I dont use sable simply because it doesnt cover the gaping holes on my team or my team isnt built to...

Spikes Diggersby is also an excellent choice for offense and something ive used if you want hazard stacking offense and sable really doesnt like coming in on that since it takes 50% from UNBOOSTED no item eq, it also has Fire Punch to pressure Skarm Defogging. Its like Mamoswine except sets up...

Sounds like a riveting metagame dominated by skill, intellect and amazing plays and totally not bias, mindless or unbalanced in any way at all! On a serious note, I think the fact that you were insulted for using stall speaks volumes about this metagame and the bias of alot of players in...

Lets us assume its the most archetype of this team (Sable/Chansey/Quagsire/Amoongus/Skarm/Not Goth) Things that wallbreak this team without Goth in OU/BL: Dragon move Kyube, Magma Trap Tran, Dugtrio+anything special (ZardY, Pidgeot etc etc), Manaphy, NP Togekiss, Taunt MegaDos, SD Zard...

Umm Stealth Rock is not a god given right, as i said earlier. Why SHOULD it always be up? Why should you not work for something as mindless as entry hazards especially one as centralizing as Stealth Rock, which you need one turn to set up and the potential to deal massive amounts of hp chip...

Honestly alot of the "ban sableye" arguments just seem very self entitled to me and just seem like "i hate stall and sable is really annoying to me i wish neither were a thing cos they annoy me" and stop using fallacies and double standards. Why should you be able to spam hazards from turn one...

Yeah about sableye "fucking teambuilding". Who cares if it stops mindless centralizing shit like spikes stacking offense that resemble cancer deosharp? Who cares if it stops bullshit like Taunt+ Wisp or Toxic + recovery sets as a lazy blanket check against stall/semistall? I think the...

Honestly this is the best post in this thread. On a similar note, i do also enjoy how Manaphy and Hoopa-U were basically ignored despite them getting shouts too or this suspect test just solely about nerfing "sablegoth"? :|

K so i agree with Shadow Tag. Mega Sableye though lol. Are you serious? Im sorry Mega Sableye punishes lazy team building (i.e you cant just spam hazards vs msable teams and call it a day or use lazy Toxic/Wisp and Taunt vs it and its team), just the same way CM MBro and other shit does because...
