Smogon just banned her to Ubers. Do you agree with this decision?
>59391849>her
>>59391849Yeah. Shell Smash with those stats and that coverage is really stupid
>>59391860skill issue on your part
>>59391860KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO privilege
>>59391875Mega Starmie was also banned to Ubers because of this
>>59391872Nta but it doesn't give a fuck about Water/Ice resists when they fear Dark Pulse flinches lol
No wonder they're getting destroyed by Champions
>>59391913can you not be antisemitic against Smogon for once
>>59391928no
>>59391849>so good it was bannedBased
>>59391935>itshe*
>59391939>she
>59391949>troon continues dilating in multiple threads
>>59391849>>59391860>Light Clay gets reintroduced>Suddenly Pokemon with Shell Smash and high SpA, above average bulk, and decent speed tier is brokenHonestly, Smogon should look into Light Clay. I use it often and it always feels like I’m cheating.
>>59391983It's already banned, let's get you to bed grandma.
>>59391983how would you nerf it? like more turns but being less effective?
>>59392002Should genuinely last the same number of turns as tailwind at base.
>>59392002I’d nerf Screens in Singles so that they’re closer to Doubles, where damage is reduced by about a third. That or introduce more screen removal options in moves. There are only 4 and one is an exclusive move and the other requires you giving up Close Combat or Drain Punch.
>>59391849My first starter is finally good in competitive
>>59391849Smogon is the equivalent of that one kid who bans arbitrary things he doesn't like when you play games with him.
>>59391913based
>>59391849Wait for real?My bro just joined the club of banned mons in the wildest generation yet. I'm so damn proud.
>>59391849BIG MAN BLASTOISE
>>59391849>herA schizo really has issues with Pokémon genders. He feminizes them all like an moron
>>59392578When smogon fanfic'd Mega Blastoise into NatDex a while back he got banned there too, even with paradoxes and everything running around.
>>59393541>heshe*
>>59392578>Mega Blastoise
>>59393542It's got over 50% win rate in Champions even if the usage isn't good, that's better than a lot of the lesser used dogshit.
I think smogon is ran by jobless trannies and faggots
>>59394031Smogon admin says what
>>59391849WaitFucking MEGA BLASTOISE was banished to ubers?How weak has smogon gotten in the last few years? I stopped paying attention to their fanfic meta after they banned something stupid, I don't even recall what it was now.
>>59394101Currently available Megas banned to Ubers so far:Mega BlastoiseMega StarmieMega GengarMega BlazikenMega Lucario
>>59394161Is Starmie really that powerful?
How is it going in BSS and how are playes countering it?
>>59394179It was the first one banned after Mega Gengar
>>59394219100 attack with Huge Power is that big a deal? Or is it because it can also reliably run mixed sets?
>>59394219>starmie and gengar back to being tier buddiesIt's been so long
>>59394240From the ban announcement:"As anticipated, Mega Starmie is an absolute menace. Huge Power, a very strong speed stat of 120, access to Flip Turn, Ice coverage, priority with Aqua Jet, & even Bulk-Up Sweeper sets."
>>59394161>three KANTOOOOOOOOOO>one Hoenn >one Sinnoh I love how the amount game freak values an early gen region is directly proportional to how many megas are UbersGame freak is not subtle >>59394268Kanto privilege is just that powerful
>>59394270Fair enough. I underestimated it due to its inability to hold an item.
>>59394295Starmie's moveset and versatily used to be unmatched.Now it has (((current gen))) stats.
>>59394161>Mega BlazikenWhy? Isn't it a downgrade from Blaziken?
>>59394301Its special movepool was unmatched, but its physical options are far more limited.
>>59394240For comparison, azumarill has 50 base attack and diggersby 56 and they both hit like a truck. Even without a choice band 100 base with huge power is no joke.
>>59394305From the ban announcement:"Mega Blaziken is an absurd Pokémon which ends up winning after Swords Dance + a turn of Speed Boost with incredible natural power which allows it to net KOs on Pokémon you would expect to be walls such as physically defensive Garchomp."
>>59394272>I love how the amount game freak values an early gen region is directly proportional to how many megas are UbersSometimes I wish I was a schizophrenic retard like you
>>59394343Very weird. I maybe need to found out what new new toys had Blaziken because the explanation sounds wack
>>59394344civilized societies consider pattern recognition to be a sign of high intelligence, not schizophrenia
>>59394365>made up fanfic tiers>pattern recognition
>>59394344>>59394362I suppose this is in the context of light clay usage.
>>59394369>tiers based on how strong game freak makes a Pokémon >is a patten of how much game freak values a pokemon Yes
>>59394387*in the non official format they push
>>59394365Seeing patterns that don't exist doesn't make you smart you autistic faggot
>>59394387>tiers based on how strong game freak makes a PokémonNot how it works
>>59391849>Fanfic tiersOk
>>59391849She deserves the honor
>>59394411That’s literally how it works >game freak makes the Pokémon they value strong >that strength results in them being high teir or Ubers Simple as >FAN FIC REEEEEEEEEReplace Smogmon. With Champions singles or double ls format and the same logic applies
>>59395549but sometimes they do nerf their faves later on, like Urshifu and Gholdengo
>>59395805Only after they've outlived their usefulness and no longer need to be shilled.
>>59395867So Pomboss loses her dual type in gen 11
>>59395877Nah, it'll just lose 90% of its coverage movepool.
>Heh smogon always bans things instead of adapting to them>Sounds fun, how are BSS players adapting to Shell Smash in singles?>REEEEE FANFIC META CAMPAIGNSHITTER CANDYLAND TRANNY WAHHHHH
>>59394387the tiers are based on how much the smogon tranny janny that is bad at the game gets mad at losing to a particular pokemon. It has absolutely 0 correlation with how good it is, most of the ones banned are borderline shitmons
Curious how the resident smogon hater never actually talks about actual gameplay but only throws unviable garbage like evasion RNG or OHKOs as """solutions"""
Not rly no
>>59395899Explain your thought process. Why shouldn't she be banned?
>>59395896The resident smogon hater is yawnfag/kojo, who only exists to be a contrarian and shit on things other people like.
>>59395907Why is she like that?
>>59391860Its so it can oneshot MEGA CHARIZARD
>>59396023Brown skin
>>59396030grim existence
>>59394240No, they already had Medicham and Mawile pull that one off. Starmie is bulky, fast, and has gen 1 movepool bias so it has a bunch of nonsensical shit it can abuse
>>59395896How are Evasion and OHKO moves even solutions to a sweeper (used by a competent opponent)?If your opponent has already used Shell Smash, your Pokemon likely can’t take a hit.
>>59396933Use Grassy Glide or Sucker Punch? Talking specifically of Mega Blastoise because it can carry a white herb.
>>59396981>Mega Blastoise because it can carry a white herb.no she can't, she's already holding Blastoisinite
Smogon is a pedophile website that has been exposed multiple times for preying on children.
>>59391913How is smogon jewish? Their entire existance is grassroots competitive and were not created for profit.The Pokemon Company on the other hand clearly has a profit making incentive and the advertising and selling of merchandise takes priority over fun competitive gameplay
>>59397072>existancethere is no a in existence
>>59397099Accarding to whom?
>>59392301it's literally made for those types of people
>>59391913I'm really pissed off that this fag is a janny
>>59396993Touché.
>>59391859fpbp
>>59397265Merriam Webster
>>59391860Didn't it have those stats and coverage since XY? Why is it ubers now?
>>59398240Shell Smash
>>59391849>raging bolt used thunderclap
ITT: angry Flygontroons
>>59391849
>>59398466How can she use Thunderclap if she's a sexy immobilized fuckblimp right now?
>Mega Starmie>Base 100 attack>With fucking HUGE POWER>And 120 speed>Flip Turn & Wave CrashDid they seriously do this? It sounds fucking absurd. The only thing stpping Mega Mawile from tearing the game in half is the low speed and base power of its STABs, a plain Sucker Punch is already stronger than fucking BISHARP'S.
>>59396993Fair enough.
>>59398237More like Merriam Webstein
>>59391849they banned Blastoise in national dex so makes sense
I'm just gonna say this.If Gamefreak had actually marketed their official formats in the West from Day 1 as much as they did in Japan(Gen 1 Competitive had a full tv show for a while), we wouldn't have Smogon.
>>59399771this isn't about Blastoise but about Mega Blastoise
>>59399855the official formats suck
>>59399855We still would.Plenty of games have official competitive gamemodes and most of them still have a community run competitive scene.I know this is hard for you to grasp, but people do in fact want bans. Even VGC players have asked for bans like Moody Smeargle.The only reasons why people play VGC today are because of the prize pool, and because people assume Smogon only (barely) regulates Singles.
>>59401507true
>>59398717Bisharp is an NFE
>>59404083It was meant to be a final evo until it got powercrept.
>>59404083
>>59404106>It was meant to be a final evoNever was, always just waiting for the third stage to complete the line.
