ThinkNicer Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Can we get an official thorough explanation on why the TC has decided to ban Roserade now? I agree with the ban but I would really like the know the reasoning from the TC. Why is it acceptable that the TC can just ban something without saying anything about it. ESPECIALLY when the only voice we've heard on this topic is gb's and he is strongly against it. Link to comment
Ultrajesus Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 10 hours ago, IHateEverything said: Ban blissey wish+teleport Well, it's not that broken. You know that if you manage to do Wish and Teleport with Blissey the next Pokemon would have it's health completely restored. The thing that prevents that strategy to be broken is any physical attacker like Conkeldurr, Scizor or Mienshao. If your opponent switches up to Blissey and then you change to Conkeldurr, that Blissey can't afford to do Teleport, because it has -6 of priority and Conk would explote her. I mean that Blissey wouldn't have chance to set up the Wish+Teleport, and like Lifestyle said you can shut down Blissey with Taunt. Link to comment
pachima Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Ban everything. It is beyond me why trainers flex their skills by letting their pokemons faint instead of fighting mano-a-mano. axx 1 Link to comment

ESPECIALLY when the only voice we've heard on this topic is gb's and he is strongly against it. By no means is this a post on behalf of the council but I will voice my short opinion here. Roserade was running rampant in the tier with very few defensive switch ins. The combination of grass/poison/fire/psychic coverage leaves very few mons that can switch into it freely and even if they could they risk a possibility of a spike going up. Even the best answer being Eviolite Heat Proof Bronzor could get slapped by a Hidden Power Ground variant of Roserade. 252 SpA Choice Specs Roserade Hidden Power Ground vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Eviolite Bronzor: 54-64 (32.9 - 39%) -- 99.3% chance to 3HKO (forces a rest which can be exploited) Simply put there are very few switch ins, and you may have to play risky until you know it is not carrying a certain move, e.g. if no psychic coverage then Golbat can do well against it. I'd like to briefly talk about Roserade's speed tier of 90 as well, though its not amazing it is definitely workable within NU as it out speeds a variety of bulky attackers. However it is prone to being revenge killed (90 is a flimsy speed tier with lots of threats creeping it by 5 points) but by that point it has already done its job and will probably run.

Hydreigon is running rampant in the tier with no defensive switch ins. The combination of Draco meteor + fillers leaves all mons that can switch in dead. Even the best answer being nonexistant is slapped by draco meteor. Simply put there are no switch ins, but you don't have to play risky because you know one of your pokemons is dead. If no Draco meteor spam then some mons can do well against it. If no Taunt Blissey/ Chansey can also do well against, provided they are healthy. I'd like to briefly talk about Hydreigon speed tier of 98 as well, though its not amazing it is definitely workable within OU as it out speeds a variety of bulky attackers. However it is prone to being revenge killed (98 is a flimsy speed tier with lots of threats creeping it by within 10 points) but by that point it has already done its job and will probably run. Please don't be offended by what I just posted. This is a joke reply that has some hint of truth within it. Also thank you for sharing your input. ThinkNicer and xXBlu3BreathXx 2 Link to comment

I'm not supporting his wish teleport is broken statement, but you're forgetting that she can just switch out. Teleport is there to scout a switch in and an added bonus of passing a wish if used beforehand. Nowhere in that strat is wise to just teleport instead of switching out when vs a conk. Link to comment

Such as ban Hydreigon's Focus Energy move, that all the problems will be solved. Some members of Lo, such as TyranitarZ and Darker, also agree to my opinon. They say Nasty Plot Gengar is powerful too, but bannig them will makes our game become full of walls. By the way, I vote to unban the Garchomp but ban its fire-type moves. Link to comment
ThinkNicer Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 The TC has to ban a pokemon from OU before the devs can make changes to the Pokemon (moveset, abilities etc). Garchomp will be back eventually. gbwead and Huargensy 2 Link to comment

OU bans are never final and w.e gets banned will eventually come back nerfed. So if Hydreigon gets banned, devs will most likely remove Draco Meteor from its movepool and Hydreigon would then return to OU. mateusvictor and VHisc 2 Link to comment

I think Draco Meteor is not the key, it is Focus Energy makes Hydr so powerful. let me show you what my friends said XD A: if just a choice scarf Hydr uses Draco Meteor, I think it's OK B:it's easy to defence Draco Meteor, What makes me feel nausea is the Focus Energy C:Draco Meteor + Focus Energy is so powerful Kupokun 1 Link to comment
