all right, i admit it, that's a solid song pick

it doesn't sound even remotely like that, but i can make the case for someone hearing "bear moon"

it's not gonna be "fly me to the moon". maybe if it was a flying-type, or if its most notable set was tera flying, but neither of those is the case with bloodmoon. my bet is on "bad moon rising", which would be an actual good song choice

also, the suspect song is going to be the entire soundtrack of disney's country bear jamboree, with an emphasis on "blood on the saddle"

yeah, what people don't realize is that this is "as few bans as possible" in the modern era

we should hold a couple tours without spikes at some point. i have a gut feeling the meta in its current state would be healthier without them, but i don't think that a suspect test against them would ever gain traction without a glimpse into the alternate universe where they don't exist

well, then they'd also have to make wind rider block defog to keep shiftry in its role as designated zapdos counter but seriously, yeah, defog as a tm would solve the problem so fast your head would spin (unless you're great tusk and it does that already). expanding the defogger pool to...

just because furret is used on like 80% of teams and ranked s+ on the vr doesn't make it op, it's a great glue mon that holds the rest of the tier together

it doesn't matter what the playerbase wants gen 9 to be, it'll always be the hazards gen, like how gen 5 will always be the weather gen. a gholdengo ban adds exactly three new consistent hazard-removal options, which people are already running anyway. not much changes from that. so then what...

which is the exact reason why it should happen last, if at all. the most controversial suspect tests should happen in the most balanced version of a meta to make sure there aren't people coasting to their reqs with broken teams and zero understanding of the meta. the lack of balance during...

sure, but without the tera it's a 2hko, and with the tera waterpon loses her spore immunity. you just have to play it right

yeah, we should definitely hold off on ghold. if anything, it's unhealthy at the absolute worst, and i personally don't even think it reaches that level. realistically, it blocks exactly three forms of removal that other spinblockers don't: defog from corviknight, defog from mandibuzz, and...

i keep forgetting that the radar thread also contains all the previous radars so when i saw that the first post had flutter mane in it i was like "don't you fucking dare"

because previous generations (namely 7) just didn't ban things. if we still had abr in charge, we'd only now be getting to the chien-pao suspect

"but tail glow cuts manaphy's bulk and makes it easy to revenge kill!" yeah, well, my manaphy was able to ohko your entire team before you finished that sentence. how's that for having your bulk cut

you don't even need to get to +6, you're guaranteed an ohko on that gambit set at +2. on the other hand, if gambit is tera dark then you have to win the sucker punch mindgame or you just get killed (well, you get killed 43.8% of the time)

sturdy doesn't help that much when it's impossible to wear boots and most viable playstyles are some form of hazard stack

i personally see waterpon as top-tier but not broken, but this view is subject to change if enough evidence comes up to convince me. what i have to wonder, though, is this: if waterpon is banned, how will that affect the viability of rockpon? rockpon has a way worse defensive typing, but she's...
