Its all in stats and battle potential. I think it has already been counted Uber.

Before you call him an uber, it needs to be tested and proven. It does infact have somewhat decent counters to some of its sets, I don't wish to discuss it here because this isn't the place to.

Skymin gets Earthpower...

I do see your point in regards to Ice Punch and Clear Body usage, but again....overcentralization.

It does? uh That's registeel out then maybe, coz I knew a Timid HP ground skymin's could only do a 4hko on a careful registeel. Earthpower packs more power, Still registeel could counter it a bit. soo err... forget it, that just leaves regice on its own.

Overcentralization yeah, It can't be used on wifi battles. Maybe on shoddy tho.

Um... no. o_o

Has it even been tested yet? No, so saying because it has a few counters reverts to overcentralization is a bit... ridiculous, to be honest. Not to mention counters aren't all there is to beat Pocket Monsters.

I agree with Prince, before we get all chaotic and overhype the dang flying chia pet, it must be tested. Want another Rhyperior? Everybody thought that was THE Pocket Monster of DP, look at it now. (Not saying it will end up the same way, just referring to the pre-game hype) Instead of overhyping everything, look at all the angles and let it play. We're not going to die from testing something out and proving it should be banned.

It's 4x weak to Ice. (Don't say "oh but Garchomp!" Shaymin's defenses are nothing like Chomp's) Two, it's weak to stealth rock, switching won't be oh so easy for it. Seed Flare isn't a 100% accuracy move, and 8PP. And yes, I know other positives, stab hax with Flare, etc, etc. I know, I've heard it all in regurgitating fashion since Platinum news spread.

I'm not trying to make a case for OU... but no-one should EVER ban it before it's tested or even tried out in the metagame. Banning something on theorymon is pretty pointless.

It may look amazing on paper, but let it hit the streets of shoddy to see if it can talk the talk. Anyway, I'm finished with Shaymin talk, until it gets it's chance to play, I don't think tier discussions hold much weight. Not to mention things keep popping up left and right, two days ago I never even heard of Earth Power, heh.

We have a thread for things such as this in the S&M section, another thread isn't needed.
