Shell Smash: Do Not Ban

Those who are arguing that Prankhazers are ineffective against Smash aren't taking into account the actual sacrifices required to handle those threats: YTwo gets hard-walled by its typical checks without boosts or specific coverage options, while running Moongeist for Tina leaves it open to get...

Who are these elusive "bad players" I keep reading so much about? Name one verifiably-bad player who successfully "punches up" on the ladder to places they don't belong with Mewtwo spam. Some people may quickly jump to me as an example, but remember that before I started "exploiting"...

While I still think a Species Clause suspect remains consistent with certain members' proclivity to impulsiveness, I'm appreciative that potentially permanent meta changes aren't allowed to be determined through biased and underhanded means. Amateur opinions should never serve as a substitution...

Mega Rayquaza - Do Not Ban (DNB). Alt Name: EntrayDessert

Got bored again and decided to ladder at the last second. Easy.

With ability spam, it truly didn't require any skill; Players could just make one decent set, press (Ctrl+C -> Ctrl+P) 5 times, and come out with a "solid" team that could actually deal damage. That was nonsense, but we handled that. From your post, it is rather apparent that, because all six of...

While I absolutely agree that "threat stacking" exists, there seems to be an implicit assumption that by running more than one of a similar set, the "threat stacker" will automatically win the game, when this is far from true. Monospecies teams require much excellence and adaptability to be...

Species Clause While it is understandable how some may be upset about ISpecies (Infinite Species), it is a fundamental element of what makes BH itself, and removing it would be ridiculous. This was the exact point I was making in my previous posts: Why should certain players have the "right" to...

The difference between Triage and other sets is the counterplay. SashSmash sets can easily be Prankhazed, Unaware-Stalled, or even blitzed by Mold Breaker and/or Core Enforcer sets, Triage can't. Not only is this ability near impossible to tank, and *actually* impossible to outspeed (including...

I know I said I was dipping earlier (and I'm about done with actively participating on this thread), but for some reason I decided to come back to check on the current meta and I see this? With all due respect, this suspect is BS and needs to be cancelled. For context, I absolutely abhor...

Imposter is a broken mechanic but won't be banned because the "Balanced Hackmons" format isn't actually predicated on balance itself. There simply aren't enough users on this thread to make objective decisions, and the people that are here have known each other for over 4 years, so there's a...

Contrary - Do Not Ban (DNB).

Decided to do this at the last second since I had nothing better to do. For my full thoughts on this mechanic, go here.

Sleep Clause - Do Not Implement While Sleep is definitely splashable, it has a plethora of both checks and counters that are, themselves, common enough to make Sleep ineligible for the "Requires unique preparation" guideline. Many of the same tools that can be used to stop most forms of sleep...

I must say, laddering up to this point was perhaps the most harrowing experience I've had thus far. Beating everyone below 1300+ was a breeze, however the moment I pass that threshold, I had to fight all the juggernauts of the server, as you can see in the image. I had to even fight the...
