gen 9’s had a fun time trying to break their own records for “fastest a pokemon is put in uubl”
i peeked the like global banlist and ngl banning OHKOs, and stuff like double team and minimize globally made me take it less seriously lmao. totally unsurprising that froslass got banned
applicable
they banned quick claw, which is fair and defensible as an anti-cheese protocol in a vacuum. but with jirachi and gyarados still around it sure seems to me like the intent was “pokemon are outspeeding our flinchers sometimes :( that’s no fair :(”
we’re sending nbow to anything goes
legalize evasion in gen 7 specifically. it’s ok z moves exist
gen 7 is like roblox pokemon anyways let them play with toys
it’ll be fine in gen 9 meowscarada wins. couldn’t make the tier any worse
can we make fissure dondozo meta
i do think for the most part banning ohko moves comes from a place of cowardice but also i’m pretty sure there’s a gen where they accidentally gave machamp both no guard and fissure and that should stay in the depths of hell
the gen 2-3 trade gap is genuinely the only thing stopping no guard machamp
it got fissure pre abilities
also idk but i’m fine with not having to think about what mega hawlucha’s getting up to in pokemon champions (imagine getting a mega ability so ill suited to you that far and away its best utility is giving it to someone else)
if youre wondering, no you cannot get a no guard fissure machamp from trading from 3ds virtual console
yeah if you think these bans are bad you aint played singles
hmm yes let me force everyone to either run one of the like dozen moves that specifically interact with minimize or have to keep gambling in hopes that I can hit SOMETHING
true #fuckgen7
forcing everyone to run a haze user would be so bad for the meta lmfao
I need to buy groceries tomorrow.
I have half a carton of milk left and nothing else.
