Considering how this meta allows you to run mixed sets, it's not difficult to handle a Blissey since clicking a physical move typically means it's OHKO'd or two shot.
Good point but at that point in time I was irritated that I kept on getting paralysed by max spdef body slam.
Okay so update to this but I assumed that since pecha nerd was on LoA that he would abstain but they did end up voting early this morning and with that a couple of changes have occurred...Welp it has been a good minute since the last council update and with us just passing the middle of the month mark, we thought it was time to take a look at how the metagame has been shaping up and look at a few of the problematic issues people have mentioned in OMcord, the OM room, and the thread. So, without further ado, here is our latest update:
Gimlaf kenn pecha nerd Sawkasm Results BAN BAN BAN BAN 4-0-0 BAN ABS DNB DNB BAN 1-2-1 DO NOT BAN Agility BAN BAN ABS BAN 3-0-1 BAN
Due to the results of the above slate, we also had a secondary slate:
*pecha nerd is on LoA and as such did not vote on the 2nd slate
Gimlaf kenn Sawkasm Results DNU DNU DNU 0-3-0 DNU UNBAN UNBAN DNU 2-1-0 UNBAN UNBAN UNBAN UNBAN 3-0-0 UNBAN DNU UNBAN DNU 1-2-0 DNU DNU UNBAN DNU 1-2-0 DNU ABS UNBAN DNU 1-1-1 DNU
So with all of the above votes being publicized...
Flutter Mane and Agility are BANNED while Electrode-Hisui and Iron Bundle are UNBANNED from Full Potential!
Hopefully this will alleviate a lot of the issues the council has been hearing about and seeing for themselves when it comes to the Speed demons. The Agility ban does hit a lot of the Speed boosters; however, the other +2 Speed boosting moves such as Rock Polish and Shift Gear are still readily available, but are on lesser used Pokemon. This may mean that those will rise up to be issues later on, but the council decided to hit Agility as it has made many a Pokemon become absolutely overbearing with things like Basculegion able to easily sweep in the endgame after getting just 1 boost. It also has enabled a lot of slower mons to be way to fast for faster Pokemon to keep up with as the distribution on this move is insane when compared to the likes of other similar moves. As for the unbans, we figured the council would have a quick vote on Pokemon that have been banned for abusing Speed boosting but ultimately we did agree most would end up bringing more bad than good and only vote to allow 2 unbans to occur; however, the 2 Pokemon will both be under high scrutiny as we continue this month's journey.
We hope that everyone is enjoying the OM and we know it is gonna look way different without Agility, so we will be keeping a close eye on everything as we head into the final days of the month! Thank you guys so much <3
is not unbanned (vote is now 2-2 and therefore not a majority)
is unbanned (vote is now 2-1-1 and therefore there is a majority to unban)oh ok.Okay so update to this but I assumed that since pecha nerd was on LoA that he would abstain but they did end up voting early this morning and with that a couple of changes have occurred...
tagging dhelmise with this update (though they are already aware as I reached out to him and other OM leaders first) and will update the quoted post with pecha's votes for transparency. Sorry for the scare guys and UT now do you still hate me?
Love this VR. Only notes are that Jirachi is missing, and considering it had previously been noted by council as likely being S tier it should at least be in one of the A tiers. As for the other rankings, I do think that Cryogonal and Regice could probably be swapped, though that might partially be recency bias. At the very least I do think Regice should be the highest rated Regi thanks to the utility and power of Assault Vest. Hard to make definitive comments on the others but I do agree with the S and A+ at least, though Araquanid being A might also be a bit high for it.I played a ton of Full Potential and tried making my own tier list. It ended up being pretty exhaustive... and had to go through major overhauls as the meta shifted from one focused around checking greedy agility users to one that's more bulky. I didn't order mons within the tiers, but I think it's pretty good. Feel free to let me know what you think, it would be nice to get some discussion here.

I tried it out during the first couple days of the month cause I love the little guy but it just lacks in power and no good coverage on the special side. I'd try it again but there's so much priority moves flying.
There’s a few mons I forgot… Clefable, Jirachi, Morpeko are all absent but I think they are viable.
Basculegion is still probably stupid because Last Respects is a thing for some reason, but I haven’t really seen it since the Agility ban so idk.
Araq seems fair so far, but I'm new so not sure if people are using it more effectively higher on the ladder

blunder policy test team loading
some setup threats are a bit overwhelming and demand a counter (amnesia comfey, shift gear cyclizar, and a few others). I've found the best way is to have bulky offense answers that don't need setup in the backline until needed. Also instead of having setup sweepers yourself, I've found mons that set up while making progress (albeit less guaranteed) are great counters (stamina archaludon, weak armor mons bonus points for endure, blunder policy mon with very strong inaccurate moves, or even flame charge/trailblaze/aqua step)
Thanks for the tips! My brain is so used to having strong counters to things so it’s a hard mindset to get into lol

Dusclops came up a lot during this month, and for good reason: Being able to turn its Eviolite-enhanced bulk into an offensive powerhouse that can circumvent its speed issue with either Shadow Sneak or Trick Room... or just by sheer staying power (if you'd dare squeeze in Leech Life or even Pain Split into its moveset). This may seem unexpected to some, but Chi-Yu still took advantage of the metagame: Beads of Ruin softened up the various Assault Vest mons and it could itself use Assault Vest due to its Special Defense stat not trailing far behind its Special Attack (which then allowed it to fire off Overheat with reckless abandon).
