There are, of course, some anti-ban arguments that have floated through the thread. No one here is gonna tell you that Metagross is the most broken Pokemon since, Mega Mence, ZyGOD, or Pheromosa. Nor do we (the majority of us at least) think it's in the same tier as things like Mega Kang, Mega Luke, or Genesect; However, it sets a clear example of what it's like to be a broken Pokemon in the OU tier. Every Pokemon has negative attributes, but in the case of those they deem worthy to suspect, we must figure out if those negatives outweigh the positives. When the best anti-ban arguments are,
- You can chip it down.
- It can be revenged by scarfed and faster Pokemon.
- It has defensive checks and counters.
- There are other priorities in the tier.
- We should wait.
- Other things will be "broken" when it's gone.
