Senile Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 11 minutes ago, tMuse said: Even if it's not op, it gives yanmega an unfair advantage over mons that would normally counter it. Without speed boost, normally it would have 147 speed (modest) and get a speedboost after one round Imagine this: You expect the yanmega switch and you switch in your counter; Yanmega gets switched in gets a speedboost and oneshots your pokemon. I know this is all hypothetically but it is still possible and probably upsetting since a counter doesn't need to be tankier if it can oneshot it and being faster. Yes this bug is arround since Speed Boost was implemented so i was a bit suprised that it wasn't discussed before. Yes, I am aware of how speed boost works, both normally & in PokeMMO. No, it being better than it normally is in the games is not automatically grounds for banning it. A lot of things aren't implemented 100% correctly in MMO, and that can include implementing things in a way that makes them better than they should be (see: Rage Powder), but that isn't automatically grounds for banning it. They have to be problematic in order to actually deserve a ban. Yes, this bug makes it so that there are less things that can come in and answer a Speed Boost Yanmega offensively. With that being said, Yanmega isn't running over UU right now, so obviously, having less checks isn't making Yanmega an insane god level threat. If Yanmega isn't problematic even with this bug, it's clear that it still has enough answers to be reasonable, even with less answers available. Until the bug is fixed, if you consider Yanmega to be a problem, you should use some of the alternative answers. tMuse 1 Link to comment

Gunthug Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Can we get some community input on Haxorus in UU? It just dropped down below the cutoff and after a lengthy amount of discussion by the council at yesterday's meeting, we decided to go ahead and test it in the tier despite its power on paper. Obviously, the argument for banning is that it can set up two different ways (SD and DD), though with such a favorable speed tier the DD boost isn't always necessary. Meanwhile, with absurd base attack multiplied by every swords dance, there really isn't much to stand in its way. On the flip side of the coin, it doesn't have mold breaker (yet) so bronzong doesn't have too much trouble handling it - even though +2 dragon claws do absurd damage. Also, it's not immune to any hazards or priority and without recovery has a hard time with longevity, keeping its sweeping ability in check somewhat. some other potential answers that were mentioned were max def slowbro, max def umbreon, weezing (until mold breaker kek).

Aerun Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 My best counters so far are: -Trick Specs Slowbro with Ice Beam: keep the specs and ice beam will OHKO haxorus but that's pretty bad without Team Preview since we don't know if your opponent got a Haxorus -Bronzong + Scarf Froslass: Bronzong makes Haxorus using SD and Lowkick, froslass switches in that and OHKOs with ice beam + can also use switcheroo to fuck up incoming walls once Haxorus is dead. I can't really find any other safe switches. All you gotta do is predict the moveset I guess and go to a faster offensive poke if SD or a wall if DD and if both then get fucked hue Link to comment

RysPicz Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 It's so broken on paper I can barely describe. Don't forget this thing now can run a coverage move in X-Scissor for things like Slowbro (OHKO after rocks) and if something wants to wisp/ haze it, it has taunt. Bulk isn't very appealing but the sheer raw power of this thing is just terrifying. As usual, I will give it a test and speak from experience later on, but even for now, without any testing around, this looks like a horrible decision to bring it down Redav, gbwead, Zymogen and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment
pachima Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I am not saying haxorus is not broken, but I find it really funny how people try to find switch ins, when their argument in the past for other mons was along the lines of: We are now in a meta where we shouldn´t try to bring counters, but rather checks cause countering sometimes is impossible and blah blah blah.

Kizhaz Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I agree on paper this probably won't last as Haxorus can be extremly powerful with a lum for free set up, but I think everyone saying "it has no switch ins" is looking at it all wrong. In OU what switch ins did it have? Skarm and Ferro? I wouldn't say you need either of those two to handle Haxorus though. For such an offensive Pokemon you need to not look at how to put a wall in front of it but rather how to take it out as quickly as possible, which for something like Haxorus isn't an impossible task as it isn't the bulkiest Pokemon by any means. Quick paced back and forth matches will be the norm unless you want to run full stall (Which I might add is Haxorus' job to try and break, so it makes sense to not have many/any switch ins) pachima 1 Link to comment

Nice. if you really think about it, the attack difference isnt that high, moreso when rhydon has better stab moves. Better typing? Meh, its arguable as you said. The gap in speed is probably the only thing that set them apart. Even though, UU is fast enough to deal with swords dance variants while ddance can´t really deal with bronzong/ferrothorn. As an offensive player, I find haxorus isn´t that easy to set up against offense, so every calc I have seen in this thread is kinda pushing it too far. Is it broken? Can´t tell, that´s why testing it for a while doesn´t hurt. Maelstrom and razimove 2 Link to comment

LeZenor Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Why is Porygon Z still banned from UU ? It was banned because it was too powerful in UU back then. But now the tier has changed and we got one more special wall to handle its stab and coverage (Chansey) + every other spe. wall that were already in the tier (Gigalith, sassy Bronzong). Not even mentioning the possible RKs or mons that can deal a lot of damage which are in UU now but weren't at the time (i.e: Bisharp). Its normal typing also doesn't give it any advantage for dealing with status or hazards, so revenge killing Porygon Z is not as difficult as it may seem. I mean, If something as broken as Haxorus gets stupidly tested in UU, I don't understand why Porygon Z is still banned. Edited July 11, 2018 by Zenor For an unknown reason, I typed "calm" bronzong but I meant to type sassy Maelstrom, gbwead, Gunthug and 3 others 6 Link to comment
