i do a small summary now because the personal wars are butchering the discussion. i remind everyone again, we talk about bans because we are missing content and noone knows how long it will take to implement the content. Therefor saying "just implement the content" is not valid!!! Also waiting till content is added before taking action means we do different thing while we have the same problem (may or may not having OP's available) I'll add some alternatives to hard banns because a lot of problems are a result of a combination of pokemons, abilities or moves. Consider this: in most cases banning one aspect of the problem renders those pokemons useless (in Pro) resulting in a hard meta shift. Banning the combination only weakens the pokemon resulting in more counterplay. 1. Ban Regenerator 1.1 reduced to Slowbro because Tangrowth and Amoonguss are weak to comon Talonflame and Staraptor, Slowking not as good in comb with blissey (skarmory as counterpart should be considered here) + there is no downside to hard switching without pursuit and other trapping moves working correctly + without choice items and life orb mixed attackers wont deal enough dmg to a combo of 2 different walls switching in and out + regenerator and regen moves - there are still counters available like hydraigon, Togekiss, Tryannitar, mixed Salamence, special defense pokemons with access to regen moves like mew, Shadow tag pokemons - Slowbro is good answer to comon sweepers like Talonflame and Staraptor Alternative actions to be considered: -> ban combination of Blissey+Slowbro or Skarmory+Slowking (but the combo is not as good against Talonflame or Staraptor and both are weak to electirc) 2. ban shadow tag + its uber in smogon/competetive for reasons and for years 2.1 ban shadow tag Gothitelle + pursuit not working for easy revenge kill + Gothitelle can come in on special attackers and setup up calm mind almost for free - only shadow tag makes her relevant. stats and typing arent phenomenal - extremly rare (h.a.) - u can still switch with u-turn, volts witch, baton pass - because trapping moves like pursuit arent working its a good counter to stall teams alternative actions to be considered: --> ban pokemons with shadow tag and boosting moves (calm mind) + encore 3. gale wings Talonflame + "its too strong" - enough counters available like Lanturn, Tyrannitar, Jolteon, extreme speed users (impish Arcanine), stealth rock (50% dmg) - a sweeper is supposed to deal dmg 4. prankster Sableye + magic bounce and magic guard not working - it has low stats - low offensive presence - prankster Klefki has higher stats than prankster Sableye but can be steel trapped 5. Staraptor + "to strong with reckless" - without roost recoil and stealth rock are very effective - mostly used as anti lead but Galvantula, Aerodactyl and Forretress (with sturdy and counter) kill it - steel types resist both stab moves (Bronzong and Metagross arent weak to fighting too) - faster pokemons and priority are an option - a sweeper is supposed to deal dmg 6. entry hazard + tm defog not available - rapid spin is avaiable - some pokemon have acces to defog through eggmove

I get the feeling there is a missundestanding here. The discussion is going on because of the missing moves/abilities/items. And the banns we talk about will be temporary till the new content is implemented.
-
I think it's a thing with dragonite and outrage, it's fixed for every other user of outrage (to my knowledge). mhhh if only we had access to nature+ev+iv of both pokemon. :Light: Because of same base speed it could be a bug in combination with extreme speed (+2). if this is correct the bug should appear with arcanine too. Feel free to test it

is it possible to implement the rules in the ranked PVP window?
-
make it taunt, add a lum berry and a trapping move like whirlpool/bind/clamp (they deal 1/8 or 1/16 of max HP -> after 4 turns thats 50%/25%) or mean look. U are so certain with your opinion that ... Next u argue that its not meta, ignoring that meta is the term for everything that is strong and their counters. We talk about ranked. If u build a team that is weak to fotm comps than its your fault. PRO isnt like other pokegames making uncommen answers in those games sometimes super effective and viable here. Start to use your brain more often instead of using smogon tiers and old habits.

use taunt and it wont heal nor boost itself nor paralyze your pokes

as far as i know arcanine gets flare blitz from growlithe (lvl 45) and morning sun only through egg move tutor. Arcanine cant learn flare blitz by itself. U are forced to use Fire fang instead now. Same counts for Crunch (lvl 39) -> Bite My advice (for PvE) is to try Fire Fang, Extreme speed, Bite and Thunder Fang or (for PVP) catch a new Growlithe and evolve it once it learned flare blitz, crunch and outrage. If your Arcananie is really good, u dont need to trash it. Save it till u get access to egg moves
-
They will still switch out and a resisting pokemon or wall will switch in. All attacks except pursuit are slower than switching. With choice items u are now locked into a move, which may be effectiv against slowbro but is ineffective against the new pokemon. U are now forced to switch your pokemon giving the enemy an advantage. The counter to pivot is right prediction and mixed attackers and/or pokemon with high coverage and expert belt
-
Imo the only thing with Slowbro+regenerator is pursuit not working. Without pursuit there is no downside to switch the pokemon out if there is a bad matchup As a counter to regenerator there is a move called "mean look". Anyone tried it yet?
-
sry for misunderstanding. I still think there are enough counters to staraptor (aerodactyl, metagross, skarmory, relaxed bronzong, galvantula, Stealth Rock, ...)
-
Trash is a normal type move --> no effect against ghost --> gengar with thunderbolt and expert belt can switch in and revenge kill it. have u ever tried a relaxed tyrannitar or bold+sturdy Magnezone? Aggron (strongly resisting flying and normal) and metagross (resists flying and normal) are now ingame too. imo outrage and trash arent problems because the move locks the user and there are immune pokemons available to at least revenge kill it for a 1 for 1 trade. nothing should be banned if it isnt bugged or there are at least 2 (smogon uu+) counters avaiable (membership only and super rare headbutt pokes shouldnt count)
