IMO we should give it a Week/Month testing period before ban. (I have a really epik one I wanna use it )

 

did you not read the part where i said to suspect test it?

 

 

and in all seriousness can the rest of you stop with the memeing unless you have some genuine feedback to give

I commend you on such a well-written post, g3n. It's a shame the community doesn't really seem capable of or interested in providing genuine feedback. I think all in all the majority of negative comments stem from the fact that the post is a bit premature. Most people want to see how the meta plays out in practice before forming their opinions. Hopefully, people will return to your well-phrased arguments in the near future though when talking about this topic becomes more relevant. 

 

No wammy, it's because in the first few lines of the post i wrote "I simply do not care if you just put a "-1" without any reasoning"
so now everyone is just putting a -1 without any reasoning

You realize that we are running out of options as far as Gen 7 pokes to add to the game right? 

 

 

Uhuh 100% we are definitely running out of gen 7 pokemon to release, while still having only 2 full released, definitely almost 0.

Here’s my take on this. If you’re going to ban everything in whats supposed to be our OU format

so yea, since Mega Mawile is UBERs, because as i clarified in the post, we have two gen 7 mons, and neither can touch mawile, so we're basically gen 6. And where was mawile in gen 6? UBERS! which brings us back to your statement, how are we banning pokes in the OU format. we don't have many of the fast resisting sucker punch counters that gen 7 has at the moment, so until then i'm saying suspect test it at minimum. there can always be another test once more pokemon are released.

I do think when the only pokemon that can even live 2 hits from a +2 mega-mawile is mega aggron and thats if mawile isnt running fire fang which then its 2hit ko'ed and aggron doesnt even ko back.

You can check for yourself and see.  i have yet to see a pokemon that can live 2 hits.  im very certain that if you look at your current pvp team and look at some mega mawile calcs you would see that mawile could probably run through your team as well with sd and sucker punch.

I am not in full protest of its ban but i do want it to be tested.  Something this powerful where we dont have things like psychic terrain to stop priority from tapulele yet might be to much for the metagame to handle.

as always nice post @g3n3r4l  might want to add this calc to the post as i could not find a pokemon that can live 2 as well as mega aggron.


Edit:
just found out that mega steelix shocking no one can also tank on mega mawile at +2 and even OHKO mawile with some atk in some cases.
