If Ray comes in after something else has been KOed you're up a Pokemon and can fodder something to bring in e.g. EKiller to revenge without going down a Pokemon. Obviously the second time Ray comes in Skarmory won't be able to handle it anymore unless it's managed to Roost, but because Ray...

Not relevant. Such an objection should be raised before the reqs are publicly posted. After they are posted, to deny someone who made those voting reqs a vote is unfair. Come up with some other unambiguous, objective reqs if you think so lowly of the ladder. Make it so that only the people whose...

And how are you going to tell who "understands the philosophy of the tier and the suspect test" without making a subjective judgement? That's just opening up the potential for subconscious bias. By excluding Conflict - and idk who he is - whoever is judging the paragraphs is essentially saying...

Yes but taking a hit and phazing is "good enough". Switch in and set up opportunities are not free, and Ray cannot "just set up again later" because it must still be able to switch in (potentially taking SR damage in addition to attack damage) AND then live a hit from whichever Pokemon is...

EmblemLord it's clear from the calcs that there is some degree of redundancy in the number of SpA EVs - let's not forget that if Ray has to use VCreate, it's dropping its defenses; even if it doesn't use VCreate and uses something like ESpeed first to break the balloon (if it's somehow surviving...

Don't think the comparison is fair. The main difference is that even though XY Ho Oh is really good, it's 4x weak to SR which means it will not have many free switch ins. It's also not very fast + no priority so in the worst case scenario you can always revenge it (or force it to switch out =...

I think outright claiming that Jibaku, Melee Mewtwo and Fireburn were out to rig the results of the votes goes too far. I don't think they did, in fact I think they acted in what they felt was in the best interests of the tier (i.e. their intentions were pure). The problem was that they're human...

I didn't accuse Fireburn and Melee Mewtwo of rigging the result. I just said it's suspicious. It's also impossible to rip off another user's posts since the posts are hidden (it's also incredibly rude that you're essentially accusing me of plagiarism). I'd post my paragraph here, but it's an...

Well Ubers isn't exactly the most "anything goes" format, that's Hackmons :) I'm happy with this decision. The suspect test turned out to be rather dubious in my opinion. Three mods read the paragraphs, of whom two are pro-ban and the last neutral. Three times as many no-ban votes are...

Would like to point out that Level 56's team has a huge weakness to Kyogre, there is only one water resist in that team and it's not a good one, if it can't keep hazards up then it wouldn't be long before Scarf Kyogre is at worst 2HKOing everything. idk how to fix it though maybe swap the Kyogre...

Well Draco Meteor doesn't OHKO though while they OHKO back, if they predict the Draco Meteor (normal Zekrom runs it quite often too) then they can come in afterwards and revenge kill you, idk. Something else if you're using Heatran only to check Xerneas and steel types while having a Dragon...

Shadow Tag: Do Not Ban I've seen no convincing argument for a STag ban. Simple as that. We went through lots of generations of Wobb trapping Scarfers and opening up a team for a sweep, and it wasn't a problem. We even had a generation where Sub Claws Dugtrio trapping choiced Pokemon using...

I would like the more detailed explanation since the Swagger non-ban in previous gens can be explained by the fact that the Prankster Swaggers all sucked dick back then so Swagger wasn't relevant. Gen 6 brought Klefki, making the strategy a relevant one. This same explanation does not apply to...

Um the problem is if STag has always been around but is only being suspected now it makes it seem like STag isn't the problem but rather Mega Gengar and Gothitelle are, and that matters because it becomes an argument for banning STag because its abusers are too strong not because of the...

Can the pro-ban camp please explain this objection because I haven't seen anything at all addressing it: Melee Mewtwo said early in the thread that we only ban things that are relevant to the metagame yet Wobb has had an Ubers analysis page all the way since RS, and has even been tiered as...

Thanks for rates guys and sorry for late response. haxiom it's definitely sad but then fortunately I only have to hit Specs Kyogre a few times before it becomes walled by Blissey and Ferrothorn, definitely an issue though. Yveltal can be an issue but Blissey takes hits very well so in my...

Eh if you have e.g. Mega Gengar in against Blissey or Gothitelle in against support Arceus (without anti-Goth moves) you aren't in a 50/50, you're in a 100/0 situation since the other guy can't switch out. The 50/50 happens only when trying to Pursuit a STag user, and whether to double switch...

Dude your team pwns, idk why you think it is so bad, surprise factor matters and if you use a gimmick or a lot of gimmicks like this team in a tournament battle and win with it, who cares right? gg wp I liked reading the RMT even though teams like yours is why the ladder is so treacherous! Um...
