If banning is out of the question for the two or so people who currently play this, maybe we should revisit some Ubers. Kyurem-W, Deoxys, Skymin?
Any news on this front
Eevee General? Dialga and Giratina are still kind of grayish in the eyes of the community, but nobody I've spoken to has any problems with MLuke/Aegis/Genesect/MMaw unbans and I think it's pretty safe to allow them at this point.
So this post isn't just to tag EG, I'll expand some of my thoughts on Dialga / Giratina.
Resistances: Fighting, Ground
Weaknesses: Bug, Electric, Flying,
Grass, Normal, Psychic, Rock, Steel, Water, Poison
The truckload of weaknesses it has, in addition to its rather average base speed, make it a very easy unban in my opinion. It will be very difficult for it to manage much against offence without a scarf (which will probably be its only viable set), and with the addition of that it becomes hard walled by Chansey. It is also, in my opinion, rather outclassed by Kyurem, who while sacrificing some special attack, has slightly higher attack for mixed sets, a fantastic typing in comparison, a higher base speed, and roughly the same level of bulk.
It has a very strong Draco Meteor but that's about it really.
Resistances: Dark, Dragon, Fairy, Ghost, Ice
Weaknesses: Bug, Electric, Fire, Grass, Poison, Water, Fighting, Normal
While not to the extent of Dialga, Giratina's typing screws it over quite a bit. Unlike Dialga though, it's offences are rather underwhelming, which means it will neither be an amazing wall or an amazing attacker, but a mix of both. It's still got the bulk to take super effective hits without much investment, and given some offensive investment and 2 great STABs that can let it break through ChansLugg with both Shadow Force and Draco Meteor it will be a decent Inverse Pokemon in my opinion, but not broken. It's even got nifty priority in Shadow Sneak.
However, I think that if Giratina is dropped, Griseous Orb should definitely be banned.
Due to the fact that Griseous Orb powers up the only two types of moves it really needs to wreck things, in addition to raising the only thing that would allow it to drop in the first place, it's offences, make Giratina-Origin an utter terror to face. Between Shadow Force, Shadow Sneak, Draco Meteor, and Dragon Tail, not to mention the ability to invest in
both offensive stats since it doesn't need that much speed anyway, I could imagine it completely destroying stall as a playstyle
by OHKOing both Chansey and Avalugg (!!!) and putting in huge work against offence too. Basically the definition of broken really. Here are some calcs to reinforce my point:
252+ Atk Griseous Orb Giratina-O Shadow Force vs. 4 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 644-762 (100.3 - 118.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
180 SpA Griseous Orb Giratina-O Draco Meteor vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Avalugg: 420-495 (106.8 - 125.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Griseous Orb Giratina-O Shadow Sneak vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Porygon-Z: 218-258 (70 - 82.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Adaptability Porygon-Z Tri Attack vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Giratina-O: 360-428 (81.6 - 97%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Griseous Orb Giratina-O Shadow Sneak vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Diggersby: 204-240 (54.5 - 64.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Diggersby Quick Attack vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Giratina-O: 254-302 (57.5 - 68.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
TL;DR: Unban Dialga, Unban Giratina, Ban Griseous Orb
I look forward to hearing other people's thoughts on these two Ubers.
