Linken Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) prankster + assist roar/whirlwind go! since we're getting volt/turn how about unbanning bp then Edited April 2, 2017 by Linken Link to comment
Kimikozen Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 if I had to make one early metagame call, garchomp will be banned if there is no Landorus-t to check it. Even current BW2 OU is ruled by Garchomp . Stealth rocks setter, SD chomp, Scarf chomp, Rocky helmet chomp. He can do so much and beat so much shit 1v1. I don't think he'll last long.

suigin Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Personally I'm more worried about Belly Drum Azumarill, Chomp will definitely be banned though. Link to comment
LuisPocho Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Im worried about chansey, we should instantly ban it in the uncoming meta Link to comment
suigin Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Chansey has the privilege of being a defensive Pokemon, offensive threats will be banned first. If Duggy is allowed though, Chansey may not be so bad. Though Dug stall is worrying as always. Link to comment
Xatu Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I hope the bans are taken care of quickly. It will suck to a see a meta with every team having tyranitar, blissful, snorlax and other cancer. It's already so bad with the 50% chansey usage rate. raddevil 1 Link to comment

Tyranitar has always been a good poke but it has also been hurt with every new gen with all the new threats against it. Blissey and Snorlax might not be such a big problem with a lot of fighting types going to be able to get close combat. Link to comment

The good news if you dislike facing those Pokemon is that gen5 was pretty much Fighting type's best generation, and while we'll be missing 4 very key fighting type legendaries introduced that gen Conkeldurr alone will carry that weight really well and he'll likely be very common on many teams. You may see the previous ubermons really often on week 1 of release because people will have yet to breed the newer mons but sooner or later it should balance out. Link to comment

They could ban drizle + swift swim if its gets OP so maby stuff to breed, I suck at gen 5 too so idk... Maybe start with SD Lucario/Infernape :D Its gonna be sad see all our stuff from UU/NU became useless (did they plann to implement RU? kek) Link to comment
epicdavenport Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I know this is a sensitive topic for the tier council but do you think with the introduction of so many new pokemon, abilities, and moves that they would consider complex bans? Like a complex ban keeping blaziken from using speed boost. Link to comment
xStarr Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'm sure Blaziken will be uber. Speed boost and Sd? That is way too good. Link to comment
Zigh Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Blazi has been Uber even in Gen6, imagine what could it do in a gen5 enviroment Link to comment

The devs have not confirmed how they're going to handle hidden abilities, so at this point I don't think we should delve much into potential speed boost blaziken. Also about Snorlax/Blissey: In BW OU Snorlax isn't used and Blissey only somewhat, but i'm pretty sure in a PokeMMO pseudo gen 5 without Terrakion, Keldeo, Landorus-T or Jirachi, Blissey and definitely Eviolite Chansey will be a staple pick, but not broken tho ofc But in the end it will all come down to what will get banned to ubers. Will Garchomp be banned? Probably. Then what about TTar and Dragonite? We'll see. Those potential bans will all influence how dominant another Pokemon gets. Looking forward to it! Link to comment

suigin Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 If Baton Pass gets unbanned in a meta where it's much more deadly with Scolipede, Magic Bounce Espeon and moves like Quiver Dance being introduced then I'll probably die of laughter. Gunthug, RysPicz and SecretDjinn 3 Link to comment
