Soaring through the sky like a Taillow.

IGN: YettoDie Reason: After being in almost every PSL, I'm curious to the other side of the table. Got some experience leading some lads back in the day. Other random stuff: Taillow is the best pokemon. Buttbuddy : Forfiter

So, Let me be clear, this "human", of which I am still not sure if that term is applicable. It bred 66 mons within the span of half a week. If you don't watch out this guy takes all your money and just leaves you on the spot with some creatures you now got to take care of. 1/10 wouldn't recommend anyone who is any sound of mind to use this "human", that way I have no competition of having the luxury of getting my money syphoned.

It would be curious how LC would be without Mienfoo having a 70% presence, we currently have very few pokes that can reliably answer Mienfoo. Hidden Abilities should make it a bit easier to answer the poke, sadly noone knows when it will hit. The fact that you gain so much momentum from U-turn + the health regen, that besides it's amazing supporting and offensive movepool.As it has been said many times before, it's pretty much too good not to use, the same went for Misdreavus which used to be a decent answer for Mienfoo. I'd be for a test ban of Mienfoo. That is if we don't want to go down the rabbit hole of banning more specific abilties, as in my eyes regenerator is currently the problem of Mienfoo. Test ban Regenerator > Test ban Mienfoo.

IGN: YettoDie Country: The Netherlands Tiers: LC, NU Discord: YettoDie#5987

The monthly movement discussions have the usage stats in them, it's one month at the time though.

But Diglett won't be banned, while yes, it will be slightly more difficult to take care of Clamperls checks and counters. It'll still leave the potential open for Clamperl to set up. The test ban lasted three entire months, that is a quarter of a year. A good span of time passed. Magnet pull doesn't seem to be an issue within LC, only 2 pokemons get it, being Magnemite and Nosepass. The main steel types in the tier, Bronzor, Ferroseed, Magnemite and Pawniard. Some damages. If the opponent has a Trace Porygon, Magnemite has become a potential stuck magnet. Magnemite is not nearly the same thread as Diglett is. Clamperl has technically more checks, but it'd depends on which moveset it carries. Generally speaking Ferroseed + Frillish present a decent core, even outside the Clamperl counter.

People are often complaining that Mienfoo and Clamperl are a huge thread within LC. Where Mienfoo could be the issue due to U-Turn + Regenerator. The only pokemon that can switch in semi safely is Trubbish to contest a speed tie, Gastly can outspeed it but you'd need to predict pretty well for that. All other checks/ counters are slower than Mienfoo, giving it the opportunity to chip the poke a little with U-Turn, heal 6-8 health with Regenerator. Making it increasingly more difficult to wittle it down, not taking into consideration that Diglett/ Trapinch can come in and take care of the check/ counter of Mienfoo. From the top of my head only Grimer can handle Diglett, if the Grimer is Brave with Giga Drain and Shadow Sneak. Clamperl has it's specific item being Deepseatooth which can 1hk0 pretty much the entire tier after Stealth Rocks are up. Without Deepseatooth Clamperl can be considered a whole lot less threatening. Looking at the fact that complex bans are being considered in banning Arena Trap, considering Deepseatooth should be an option. At that point Eviolite Clamperl needs +4 spatk to run rampage, since +2 doesn't get many K0's. Gastly is a glass cannon, there are quite a hand full of pokemons that can naturally outspeed it. As for Arena Trap in general. It is a cheap way to kill pokemon without the opponent having many options to counteract the play. At the time of the Diglett test ban Trapinch took a huge rise in usage, this was arguable to fill the gap of Arena Trap. Diglett might still see usage without Arena Trap, Trapinch most likely very little. A test ban on Arena Trap for now to me sounds like a good step. Potentially following by a test ban of Deepseatooth.
