Okay, so, because normal Abomasnow is too light does that mean Mega Abomasnow (on the list) is unusable?

 

[RODAN]

nope! as long as its holding a mega stone its fair game

 

[GoldenSandslash15]

By that same logic, Gyarados and Venusaur should be allowed in Mega Form.

Edit: Gyarados is okay even non-Mega.

Float stone and Light Metal should be added to Banlist

 

[perplexingpool]

What is the optimal Aerodactyl set I wonder? A lot of this meta resists Stealth Rock, so the suicide lead set may not be the best.

Float stone and Light Metal should be added to Banlist

Autotomize as well.

I will add this metagame to my lab tomorrow. If it isn't added by 12 CEST (amongst another updates), ping me.

I've been doing some theorymonning
Xerneas appears to be a huge threat, being able to set up on a ton of pokes, such as a weakened tyranitar, kingdra, yveltal, druddigon, emboar, zekrom, kyurems, and quite a few other pokemon.
The only way to really stop it seems to be smart double switches as it switches in or phazing it while it sets up geomancy.
It seems so dangerous that it might overcentralize this meta.

Another thing that seems unbalanced is that pokemon like gigalith will not see any usage due to dangerous pokemon like terrakion and and groudon around.

Terrakion seems to be a big threat in this meta also. Its best switch ins, suxh as aegislash, landoge t, and gliscor being absent, it can punch holes very well with its CB set are clean up or revenge kill with choice scarf.
