There’s no reason we can’t consider potentially unbanning Palkia-O at a later point. Context is important here though, and at the time of that post we were experimenting with Dialga-O and Giratina-O since they’re item locked. 120 Speed and 150 SpA with 1.2x STABs did seem really powerful (on top of good bulk) from our perspective at the time, so we chose to be safe rather than sorry, especially since we didn’t know at the time how good either Dialgia or Giratina would be. We’re going to see how things play out this month, and if we think Palkia-O is palatable in the tier, then we’ll consider unbanning it.I know this is an old post in September 2023, but…
How could Dialga-O and Giratina-O are allowed for this metagame while Palkia-O remained banned despite also having to hold their Lustrous Core? Were 120 Speed and 150 Special Attack alone makes it too much for the metagame despite not having reliable set-ups?
