    Hello,

    Quick question: How does smogon go about its banning and who decided on this? I asked because I've noticed that while most of their banning and reasoning are on point, some bannings [however] are incorrect.

    Thank you Pokepal :)

    Banning as in users or mons like Hoopa-Unbound?

    There are suspect tests that have ladders of the tier without the suspected mon, and once a user reaches the required Coil, they are eligible to vote "ban or no ban". With the recent Hoopa-Unbound suspect test, only 60% of total votes were required as pro-ban in order to ban it. The reasoning for the suspect test usually comes from the OP of the suspect test announcement, so from there, it's really in the hands of the players

    Thanks for the reply Pokepal :)

    ...What do you mean by the required "coil"?
    And how do I get the latest news on the banning discussions and how do I know which pokemon is being assessed?

    Thanks again ^^

    Coil is something that only appears on suspect ladder, and it goes up as you play and win more games. Usually there will be a suspect thread in the tier that will announce the suspect test, the Mon being suspected, as well as the coil required to get reqs to vote. The Hoopa Unbound one recently ended for OU, so if you go to the OU forum, just look for the announcement tag in red with "Hoopa suspect test" as part of the title

    I'll go with the 2nd one because the 1st team really gets annoyed by burns from Mega Sableye and Rotom, and it looks like you'd have some difficulty killing Mega Sableye since Thundurus would be your safest option (it can take the burn), but it'd get worn down really quickly. The 2nd team on the other hand has Sylveon and Rotom to take burns, and having Rotom makes it easier to get Sylveon and Staraptor in, so that's good. Skarmory looks a bit annoying, but otherwise I think you'll be fine. Staraptor's gonna get worn down extremely fast btw, so be careful with it.

    Glad to help. Also the 1st team was really prone to sand offense, so if you still wanted to use it, I'd probably run Azumarill over Feraligatr, maybe with a Lum Berry

    Yeah it's not banned from OU, so it's allowed

    Just stopping I to say that you have the ability to delete your own threads unless someone messes with your account

    Hm. I wonder what happened then. Maybe from a pre-xenforo infraction that never got fully fixed or something. I'll look into it.

    Glad to help, also, don't forget to add 3 lines of description for each mon (with what it does for the team and what threats it handles). Also, here's a website you can use to get images for your team members: http://www.pokestadium.com/tools/sprites
