ttp://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=102217 is where things are going on if you're interested. But here are the most nominated so far.
Pokemon Nominated :
---Blaziken---
Why its nommed : Blaziken so far has recieved alot of nominations. For those of you not familiar with the game this may seem strange, but speed boost may have potentially pushed Blaziken over the edge along with Drought. As quoted by alot of players "nothing beats this in the sun apart from Slowbro". In the sun, it OHKO's Lati@s, Gyarados, Jellicent (water moves nerfed) and Salamence (post Intimidate) with a boost +1) with its Flare Blitz, this is with Leftovers and no boosting item. That speaks for itself. You also cant revenge kill with Protect and Speed boost as it'll just get faster than your scarfer.
---Thundurus---
Why its nommed: Thundurus is very threatening and many argue its just too powerful and its easy to see why, Nasty Plot and insane speed along with the Power and coverage make many believe its just too good. It is notable for being very hard to wall.
---Reuniclus---
Why its nommed: To quote many people "Calm Mind decimates stall whilst Trick Room decimates offense" with Magic Guard and Recover people say this thing is just TOO hard to take out. Nothing beats this bar Sp.Def Jirachi and Scizor and forces their use just like Latias forcing ScarfTar usage during gen 4.
---Excadrill---
Why its nommed: Here we go again, im not sure why this is up for debate again because it has quite alot of checks and counters and doesn't really take much to play around it. But ok, people are saying its too fast (breaks the speed tiers) and is too easy to set up with Ballon and Ohko's most of the metagame after 1 turn of set up and has a "un blockable" Rapid Spin.
---Latios---
Why its nommed : Forces the use of Sp.Def Jirachi, Tar and Scizor. Nothing else beats it. Trick and Psycho Shock take out special walls, fast, bulky, Surf 2hko's every Steel and Draco Meteor basically can do this too. HP Fire is standard now too to decimate Ferrothorn. Can hit and run your whole team with just Draco.
other notable pokemon that were nominated;
---Deoxys-S---
Why its nommed: It is THE reason the support characteristic was made during the 4th gen. Dual Screens (makes Shell Smash Pass Gorebyss + Sweeper broken), Spikes all with ease, you name it, D-S can do it. Forces the use of Magic Bounce if you don't like losing to Spikes.
Abilities Nominated:
---Drought and Drizzle---
These are nommed for making certain Pokemon too strong under them. Water moves and Hurricane are easy to spam under rain whilst things like Chlorophlly sweepers are very hard to deal with under the sun and also most notably Blaziken.
Items Nominated:
---BrightPowder, Lax Incense, Sandveil, Snowcloak under the evasion clause---
Bring nothing but pure luck to the game and take no skill to abuse (see : sub chomp fishing for sand veil hax) and we have enough of that (crits >>). Another interesting note is that, GARCHOMP WILL BE PSUEDO BANNED UNTIL ROUGH SKIN IS RELEASED IN DREAM WORLD should this pass.
Just as a note final note, ALL OF THESE POKEMON WILL BE BANNED ON THE PC POKEMON ONLINE SERVER UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN VOTED ON AND WILL BE UNBANNED OR STAY BANNED ACCORDINGLY. This is to prevent problem Pokemon becoming issues and just to save hassle.
Your thoughts ? Discuss. ^^
