This combination has shown extreme potency in our recent no johns tournament, having one of the best winrates of all the cores notably seen in the tournament. Most of you know how this strategy goes: Generally, Indeedee-F will redirect attacks toward itself while Alakazam utilizes its Amazing Speed and Special Attack, with Terrain boosted Expanding Force, which OHKO's or 2HKO's pretty much anything that doesn't resist it. Of course, it has counterplay in Pokemon such as Aegislash, and moves such as Wide Guard and the like, but its still a menace to teambuilding.
Mew is an extremely potent and versatile Pokemon, with its Imprison + Transform set, notably seen in its great usage in 2v2PL. It has a plethora of tools, such as Fake Out, Tailwind, Trick Room, and even Pollen Puff, making it exceedingly hard to predict its set, along with being another menace in the builder.
What are your thoughts on these Pokemon? Should they or should they not be banned? Please give your thoughts. For now, thanks for reading and have a nice day. Mubs out.
