I have a lot of problems about what you mentioned in your post. First of all, it seems like most of your reasons for banning the fire chicken are due to screens. That's fine and all, but lets just say you aren't running screens, or more likely, your opponent got rid of the screens (which is...

So, the issue I'm seeing with Blaziken in NatDex seems to be a similar case with two previous suspected mons; Dragapult and Cinderace. The similarity is that Z-moves just give them the potential to break through specific checks, which usually warrants a very necessary ban. Blaziken, however...

Man, Hoopa Unbound has been all over the place. In Generation 6, it got banned to Ubers. In Generation 7, it stayed in OU. And this Generation, it somehow went to UU (though this suspect will probably determine whether it gets to stay that way or not). While I don't play NatDex UU, I can...

Magearna: Ban

Finally, after years of patience, my most-wanted suspect is finally here! I have sworn to myself that should Magearna ever get the suspect test, I would 100% get the voter reqs. After finally attaining those stupid reqs of 50 games with an 80% GXE, I have fulfilled my oath. I also apologize in...

Confirming as NXMAG Vespa. If this picture is unacceptable, please inform me and I'll try to work it to your liking. EDIT: If you're also wondering why the username isn't NXMAG Beedrills or NXMAG Baltimore, yes, it took me multiple accounts to reach the sky-high 50 req demand. This was the...

Rain isn't really good; it's dope on the ladder, but that's it. Libero actually allows it to work well around rain, being able to change to a Fighting type with Bulk Up and then living Mega Swampert's hits as a result. A +1 Normalium Z move will OHKO for sure in return. All it needs is one...

So, despite my two or so years of playing Gen 8 Natdex, I actually have yet to experience the Normalium-Z Cinderace yet. However, even without taking that set into account, it's blatantly clear that Cinderace is a top threat to the metagame. So, what does Cinderace has going for it? Let's...

Not going to vote, but I recently played a battle against a Spectrier and found out just how reasonably bulky the fucker is: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8nationaldex-1260786673 To be fair, though, there's only one problem here: Ghost resists Poison. That said, Adaptability is a very...

This. A +1 Ghostium-Z move is very powerful, but once it's been used, that's that. Phantom Force just becomes that waste of a move-slot that takes two turns to actually damage the opponent (and can be played around quite easily because of that). That said, the one-time Nuke can sometimes be...

The removal of Roost was a hard hit to the Galarian birds, but I think it hit Galarian Moltres the hardest due to how amazing it would have been as a special wall with recovery. Though on that note, had it gotten Roost, G-Moltres would be able to accrue multiple Berserk boosts, which probably...

The Rising Voltage/Electric Terrain combo has been viewed as far more superior because of the amount of damage it can dish out. However, looking at this guy's moveset, I personally do believe that a physical set would be somewhat feasible, especially considering it gets access to Extreme Speed.

Never said that I was against it (though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't upset about getting smacked by Rising Voltage repeatedly). And I'm well aware its coverage is pretty "meh". At this point, I'm pretty sure whoever is complaining either doesn't have a Ground mon or is not recognizing...

With the release of the Crown Tundra, how long do you think should we wait until we bring up any potential suspects? I've noticed a lot of people complaining about Regieleki today.

Assuming it stays in the tier for a while, I can actually see the ring target "jank" becoming really popular. Also, it may be frail and possibly susceptible to priority, but I JUST ran this calc: 252+ Atk Black Glasses Bisharp Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Regieleki: 253-298 (84 - 99%) --...

I figured this was coming. I probably won't participate in this suspect as I don't touch the game too often (also, 50 games is a lot) , but I'll give some insight. Dracovish may seem a little average with its stats at a first glance, but anyone who's played the NatDex tier at least once per...

I second this. While G-Darmanitan has a terrifying ability, the same ability locks it into the move it has picked. Basically, once G-Darm clicks a move, all you have to do is send in the right mon to force it off the field and make a prediction based on what it's going to switch to. It's also...

Did not know Torn-T was getting Nasty Plot until I read Jordy's post. While it does raise eyebrows, I do understand that we're not currently putting that into consideration. Tornadus-T: I personally never found the bird to be a problem, but there are a couple of things I should mention; the...

The fact that Mega Lopunny gets a pivot move does raise a lot of eyebrows. Something that hasn't been mentioned is that Mega Lopunny DOES get Close Combat now, a powerful fighting STAB which, despite having lower PP and the consequence of lowering both defense stats, is 100% accurate. Sure, it...

I second this. Dracovish was definitely a problem in SS OU due to the limited number of mon counters, as well as the fact that Seismitoad, a previously NU mon, went up in usage in OU simply to check this thing, which still was flawed due to the possibility of a Band Outrage. In the NatDex...
