Wow, been a while. Didn't even get the noti of the suspect results until a few days ago. So, let's talk about it. Gambit's ban and what may change from it. I also haven't talked much about the weather rocks (aside from heat) being banned. First, these two decisions make the meta so much less...

On the topic of NGas, I wanted to test whether it still works properly in gen 8 pokebilities as well. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/rom-gen8pokebilities-2607767 The result was an overwhelming yes. I don't know if it's something to do with tera or working out Ability Shield interactions...

I completely disagree personally. Neutralizing Gas, despite shutting down the main point of the meta, has proven to be incredibly meta beneficial if anything. Yes, it turns off abilities, but that allows more varied and balanced play in many situations. Even with the Ursaring example you gave...

So, I didn't realize this until just now because none of the Kommo-o's I've ran into have tried this (for good reason), but they wall the LO 3 attacks set if you change out Psychic for P Noise. May be something to keep in mind with Kommo-o seeing more usage than it did last time that...

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9pokebilities-2456888483 Clod just fills so many holes in this meta. Helps against rain, can Toxic a non Sub Yanmega (even if it only survives one hit), one of the few checks to Cosmic Clef (whether through tera dark or Haze), does good damage to untera'd...

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9pokebilities-2456886407 During all the discourse surrounding Yanmega, Kingambit, Clefable, etc, never forget that while not as strong as it was in the last two gens, Reuniclus is still incredible. Whether it be utility with Knock, T Wave, and P Noise, late...

When it comes to the choice between Kingdra and Gambit, I think Gambit would likely be the better decision since its existence and power in the tier has been discussed longer than Kingdra, and, in my opinion, it is far more overcentralizing due to not being playstyle specific

Not only is Adamant Gambit incredibly relevant, but max speed Adamant Azumarill is the same exact speed tier as Gambit, so getting the jump on that speed tier is huge

The issue is that, according to what Ivy said earlier, there is no way to restrict the evasion abilities while keeping the other abilities in tact, which makes it to where you have to either let the umcompetitive abilities stay with meager pokemon or ban the pokemon that wouldn't even be in the...

It does work, it will just only show one ability if you hover over Ursa while statused instead of showing both. Quick Feet with a Jolly nature and max investmet gives it the equivalent of a base 107 speed stat

Ivy did ban Urshi Rapid as well as Arch and Moon during the discourse. I don't remember if Gouge was also put on the van list, though

Evasion abilities- Restrict if possible, ban if not. As much as I would love to run Cetitan teams, if there is no way to disable Snow Cloak/Sand Veil while keeping other abilities active, I do think that these abilities should be banned. Yanmega- Ban. Initially, I disagreed with Inky and others...

Firstly, I want to thank those who have reinvigorated some life into this forum again, and I apologize that I haven't been as much with work and the meta being mostly solved. Second, with ban discussion heating up again, I'd like to make a list and get community thoughts on what should and...

Chien-Pao is banned, thankfully. As for other Ubers mons like Volcarona, Urshi Rapid, Arch, and Gouge, I do think that they should be banned as well. However, I heavily disagree with the argument that they defeat the point of pokebilities. Pokebilities is such an interesting metagame because...
