Bans in MMO don't work like that. If the developers would buff Outrage to 120 BP, it would certainly be used over/alongside Dclaw. Definitely making pokemon like Salamence, Dragonite and Garchomp broken. There is no such thing as 'move' banning in MMO. So you can't flat ban Outrage from PvP. The developers would need to remove it from the movepool from Pokemon that are problematic with Outrage. I'm not sure if it's worth the massive amount of time to ban all the needed Pokemon and then see which ones need Outrage removed. In the end you will end up with a short list of Pokemon that can learn Outrage, so there is no point in buffing it because MMO doesn't use flat bans.

Your contribution to this discussion is useless, my question was brought up in a polite manner and adhered to the forum rules and is thus legit.

A lot of our overpowered threats are checked by Fairy-typing. Downsides would be attempting to theory mon how strong Fairy-types might be themselves, and if our plethora of Steel and Poison-types and moves are effective at slowing them.

Ah okay, I never played Pokemon games before PokeMMO, besides the handheld games up to the 2nd generation in my earlier years, and just read up on fairy types. I absolutely see your point, thanks for your input. DoubleJ 1 Link to comment

Thanks in advance :-* your talking about buffing (90 - 120bp) a move (outrage) and then banning it from pvp. spanktakula is talking about buffing (30% - 100% accuracy) a move (sheer cold) and then banning it from pvp. can you see the correlation :* Link to comment

MirakleB Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Returning Outrage to normal is a fairy tale. The devs aren't magical pixies that give us a perfectly balanced meta. We're just gamers fiddling around with online sprites. Getting changes like this is like catching a leprechaun. Hoping santa's elves will give you a present. The devs are just fair folk, trying to make a living in the world. One move could shift the meta like mischievous pixies are throwing the tiers out of order. The sprit of the game is like a nymph that'll get angry if you mess with the natural balance. If only there was a way... Edited January 29, 2021 by MirakleB Link to comment

Well, since you asked... These days I've been playing Minecraft with my brother. I have also been playing chess and right now I'm learning to play the piano (or at least some melodies on it).
