Hello, PRO community, Leo here 👋.
I am writing this post to request the release of Hoopa as a catchable pokemon.
While its indeed true his unbound counterpart was suspect tested and banned from ORAS OU (and unbanned in SM OU), normal hoopa was always a regular pokemon with a modest usage and a low impact on the meta. In fact, he wasnt even OU, he was an RU mon towards the end of gen6!
Due to its stats, its usage is mainly limited to trick room teams and to sticky webs hyper offense as a strong spataker, both archetypes being popular at the moment in PRO's PVP.
Him being released would give players more teambuilding options and increase the meta's diversity, without changing the overall balance of the game or forcing the opponents to carry counters.
That said, I believe Hoopa's release, in due time, would be a reasonable request and a good addition to the game. The ultimate decision lies with the staff, since they would need to create a quest or even a dungeon to obtain it, I respect any decision of theirs anyway.
Thank you for reading,
Leo.
