  1. I guess it was just too late, after the ending time mate. Let's wait for a trade moderator to handle it anyway. GG to everyone anyway, was fun.
  2. Ended on 7:25 if i'm right, last allowed offers should be the 7:24 ones.
  3. I don't want to be disrespectful in any way but you don't seem to know what a "counter" is. Also, a regular Sassy Ferrothorn loses to Manaphy under rain if he doesn't have Power whip, can Rest freely, set up and spam Ice beam. +6 252 SpA Manaphy Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 232+ SpD Ferrothorn: 215-254 (61 - 72.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery (this is sassy spedef invested Ferro Btw, i let you imaginate what a relaxed one takes). Same for the Unaware Clefable you mentionned, it loses if you don't run Calm Mind on it, which isn't a great move either for this kind of Clef. +6 252 SpA Manaphy Surf vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Unaware Clefable in Rain: 202-238 (51.2 - 60.4%) -- 91.4% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery The rest aren't even counters or checks (Tang AV is but gets knocked out in 2 turns if the opponent already Tail Glow'ed) and can't OKHO a manaphy so idk what you wanted to say here, you also imply that i need to sacrify one pokemon to be able to possibly revenge kill it, if the opponent dares to stay and let you kill it of course (while he can actually keep it and rest later in order to attempt to sweep again). I'm not saying there are litterally Zero counters to Manaphy, but being forced to play them in every team like Ferrothorn or HA Clef (with Specific sets btw), just for ONE pokemon is just unbalanced, and ruins teambuilding and the meta. If you follow Showdown competitive scene, you'll also note that Pokemons like Zygarde got suspect tested recently. Didn't Zygarde have counters ? Yes, it had (Tangrowth, Tapu Bulu, other grass types / Clefable as a counter/check, other fairy types as counter/checks / Landorus / Ice types with Scarf or Priority, etc ). Guess what ? It got banned with close to a 80% approval rate iirc. It's not only about "not having counters", but also about recognizing this Pokemon is too much of a threat for this PRO Meta, and does a huge job even against his "counters/checks", and if you dare to try playing without them, then you are open to a sweep of your team or having 2/3/4 mons killed by it. It simply makes the meta even worse and more boring than before, which is already an accomplishment, as it also reinforce Rain Teams' power and omnipresence.
  4. Nothing to add. People are abusing manaphy since one or 2 months already, and getting 90%+ winrates/other huge unexplainable winrates or unworthy Rank 1's out of it. Rest and Manaphy in rain, or double screens manaphy is just a pain and is actually broken since we haven't the necessary mons to face it yet. We actually have a few (Ferrothorn Power Whip, Serperior even if it doesnt really OKHO manaphy and can't come on it freely, it also dies to ice beam of course, some revenge killers once you decided which pokemon you are gonna sacrify or take a risk with) but being absolutly forced to play them with specific sets in every team in order to not be swept or get 2/3 mons killed by manaphy is just ridiculous and restricts too much team building, and fun of course, not mentionning this pokemon is actually braindead to play. You also can't play a stall team in this meta either, because the usual manaphy counters and spedef walls/checks like chansey are just absolutely useless against rest and hydration under rain. Basically kills at least one pokemon each game and can sweep your whole team in end-game if your counters or revenge killers are dead, this pokemon is just too much of a threat for this PRO Meta, if looking at the current winrates of the players abusing it isn't enough, then it is a lost cause.
