^ Thanks for that; definitely something I forgot to consider actually - the super effective stab foul play off its own attack. Lawl. Please; somebody - get a replay where a poocheyna with focus sash takes down mega metagross with foul play. Please.

But yeah, Mandibuzz would need Stealth Rock off the field to be mindful of it, and Metagross would have to be Mega Evolved before it comes out. |
So MMetagross stays in OU.
It was really close though. 2.7% away from supermajority. This was expected (the close votes, to be precise), to be honest. Your thoughts? |
Whoa, it really didn't get enough votes to get banned? Was really expecting it to get banned cuz everything that's been suspected in OU this gen has been banned. So I guess we'll see how things go now....

I guess Mega Gardevoir isn't going to make it's major debut after all. |

I pretty much figured that the decision would be close either way it went. This was probably somewhat influenced by people bandwagoning the (bad) argument that if MegaGross was banned, the metagame would be dominated by fairy types...which just simply is not true lol. Either way, I’m eehhhh on it staying, and I think I would have preferred the metagame more if it was gone. It’s all good though, It will be suspect tested again and booted out of the tier.
Now about Mega Slowbro... |
Oh boy. This was one I really thought could go either way, and it turned out to be the one that keeps it here. Mega Metagross is one that has answers to it, although I was expecting it to get the boot in the long run. So let's see what happens as it remains here.
|
i think landorus deserves a suspect before slowbro, but hnnnnnnnnng slowbro.
also i am p sure they will have to suspect mmeta again in the future. |
just gonna say i predicted this go me go me i am great etc
Quote:
anyway as for other mons i definitely want mega slowbro around if mega metagross is going to be (broken checking broken but metagross is way worse), landorus is suspect worthy but i'm not sold on its ban by any stretch. mega sableye's bandwagon has collapsed but that's probably a suspect worthy mon in a lebron-like transition where it gets shat on so much that its perception actually underrates it a bit, which will almost certainly reverse at some point (as it did with lebron). #basketballanalogies anyway yeah this mon was not only borked but it's like the 16th most used mon in ou but the single best/most powerful. i would probably be less annoyed about building for it to insane degrees if it showed up on more than 1/8 of teams but yolo. effing mega evolutions man lol |
Oh great, people think Mega Slowbro might get the check next? Although that monster Defense is worth noting, and unlike Steelix and Aggron, has feasible Special Defense to back it up at least since it can learn Calm Mind. (And no critical hits don't help...)

As a Mega Slowbro user, I'd be bummed if I didn't get to keep using it in Prism League, but as a wall, it's stupid difficult to break unless you happen to run Gastrodon, Cradily, or something else with Storm Drain. Oh, and Zekrom beat mine with Serperior once I think.
I wonder how it would do as a Wonder Room sometimes (singles only though) |
I dont think there is a strong enough pro ban camp enough for Slowbro mega.
Honestly it has its issues (status, strong special attackers still annihilating even it after a cm, stuff like CB Tar and grass types exist still so its kinda your fault for not running one/some of these things plus it has shit coverage if you use CroBro lol.) i feel its actually good for the metagame in that it counter balances offense in some ways, the same with Sableye. Defensive teams do not have alot to play with this gen so i honestly feel mega bro is healthy (as far as megas go >_>) in that it forces offense to actually adapt to something without just mindlessly spamming pokemon with move which it usually does, same with mega Sableye. Heaven forbid offence has to THINK when teambuilding about strong defensive threats! Its crit blocking i feel is also healthy for the meta because unlike Suicune, you cant noobishly spam moves and hope they crit eventually which is hilariously what people actually do and just get crushed. It kinda reminds me of people who bawww about Mega Sable because their whole team is wisp weak and set up bait for it and dont have fairies, counters, status moves that bypass mbounce see; scald and plume or even pokemon to absorb its wisp like Tran and Talon or pokemon that cream it like Sub Mind keld etc. Again, its your fault for not using checks/counters to it and last time i checked these were all standard on offensive teams soooo lol. |
what DA said. and besides what? there are other megas that are way more needed of a ban than mega slowbro. you cant ban mega slowbro and still have gardevoir and metagross and diancie around lol imo the order should be metagross, gardevoir, diancie, slowbro~sableye if sableye even. that one's kind of on the border for me.

in any case, might as well see how the meta adapts in the meantime. i've enjoyed running mega bro but i will definitely brush off my old mmeta build. :) pursuit is insane on it btw, glad i'm here go me. |
i am very optimistic about a potential landorus suspect test, it doesn't have any beneficial effect on the metagame and a large number of people support its ban, so hopefully he is suspected in the near future
happy about metagross avoiding a ban as well |
Quote:
I honestly cant see how the stall megas need testing before mega gardy. That is actually redic. Gardy literally has about 3 switch ins and 2 of those arent very viable and get wasted by wisp anyway so i mean lol. |
Quote:
also karp you were anti-ban? disappoint :( |
Quote:
Toxic Chansey can check it once but hates CM Physhocks and Taunt. |
Quote:
mega scizor is the other, but yeah switchins to M-Gardevoir are really uncommon, another reason why I like Metagross staying, in addition to making SpDef SD Glisc have an additional cost for using it |
The thing is that most of the things said about an eventual Mega Gardevoir ban apply to almost any stallbreaker. Kyurem-B also dismantled stall teams (read: purely passive stall teams) in BW, but it was OK. How about we suspect Heracross, Crawdaunt, Exploud, Haxorus and Lando-I (which probably needs a suspect anyway), because they eat stall alive as well except for one or two pokemon they can't beat. Actually, we may as well quickban Rampardos since that thing has NO switch-ins.
|
exploud eats orphans so it should be banned imo
