Valid point but Tornadus-T isn't ever on sun teams... and it it were just to use heatwave it's main threat (hurricane) is useless so you don't even need jirachi to "counter" it.

I main reason why Tornadus-T is so good is because it has a really good response if a counter/check is switched in. U-turn out to a counter of it's own or hard switch and gain health. Only pursuit users can really stop it from happening making scizor a great check (since it can't ever switch in...

I agree it shouldn't be in that thread but no other competitive gaming scene bans key parts of the metagame/strategy like pokemon. "Broken" is thrown around like it means "the current best strategy". Just look at the changes in games like Street fighters and Starcraft that have huge scenes. They...

Whats wrong with making a deal? Just curious.

The system is bad. Everytime a great strategy is formed and gets widespread it's banned for being too powerful. It ruins all depth in the game. What you get is a shallow game where after you get rid of the best strategy a few months down the road after a new strategy immerges you just...

@Silenced Melody It's not relevant that they're not scrubs or not. If they 100 best players don't use Tornadus-T because they all have 6 pokemon team better than any 6 pokemon team with Tornadus-T they can still vote that Tornadus-T is broken even though it isn't. This is extreme, but if like...

Here's the fundamental problem I have with Competitive battling. Banning of pokemon happen too frequently that we don't ever let the metagame stablize even a bit to see if people come up with ways to counter strategies. Being so quick to say something is broken and instantly banning it is just...

Yep. Chansey isn't a great example though because there is a select few special attackers that can function as mixed attackers (keldeo/lati@s)... maybe a better example is a skarmory.... since there aren't any common physical threats to skarmory.

Hell pretty much all pokemon can rip apart your team if you're not prepared for it. Run a heavy specially offensive team and a Chancey can completely destroy you.

When do you think you'll see a Scizor vs a Tornadus-T when it has >70% health. Lets say I grant you that it does have >70% health and it takes 60% damage. Oh cool you have a 45% Tornadus-T before Stealth rocks. That's so crippled it's not even funny. I'm not talking about eliminating Tornadus-T...

I'm pretty sure you're just theorymoning like crazy because this analysis is so flawed it's not even funny. Do you have any idea what happens when Tornadus-T sees a Scizor? Usually it's when it's taken a bit of damage, LO or otherwise and it's got a kill with with less than 70% life left...

One of the best checks to Tornadus-T is Scizor. It becomes a game of prediction with pursuit and bullet punch.

okay we'll play tomorrow

My point is that Cube isn't 2hkoing Ferrothorn and Gyro ball destroys Cube.

First of all, I don't want to sound mean, but find a damage calc online it's not that hard... second of all. If something gets 2hko by focus blast... it's not really a 2hko is it? a move with 70% accuracy... it's basically a 2hko 50% of the time. Second of all, running focus blast on Cube is...
