[Nah]

They don't have Moody banned this gen on Showdown? That had been banned for ages iirc.

It doesn't give accuracy or evasiveness boosts anymore, so it's allowed right now. Hopefully it will get looked at soon, because it's not that fun to play against.

Moody is so heavily luck-based that it becomes completely noncompetitive. I can't see it staying legal in Smogon tiers.

No it's not on the server yet, you might want to ask wolf.

Dynamax should get banned within the next week (I dunno how fast the voting process is - suspect testing ends on Sunday).

Also stall is kind of weak rn - no Chansey, no Mega Sableye, but you guys will probably figure something out. You also kind of need a Water Absorb or x4 resist on each team cuz of mr fish man, which would otherwise absolutely wreck any slow team.

We should have SS OU up on our server within the next few days.

rain is busted rn lol

you can 6-0 a game with specs mantine and that isn't an exaggeration

 

[Nah]

strange world we live in rn, with ditto being at the top of usage stats and mantine obliterating teams lol

 

[gimmepie]

Whatever you may think of the reasons given, you have to admit that Dexit really has been a refreshing shakeup to the competitive scene.

Ditto is gonna be used less when dynamax gets banned.

Rain is busted, especially Barraskewda cuz its coverage is insane and can't really be revenge killed. Though it's not gonna be as good after the ban.

Also Dracovish might get suspect tested afterwards cuz you basically need a water absorb on every team.

Ughh. Nobody needs more national dex mons. What we have is now is fine and the metagame is actually fun for once. The only reason they've U-Turned is to try and appease fanboys into forking over more cash whom screeched at them on twitter (see: reeeeeee) until they caved into it. You know the type, with the username "Lustful_Lucario<insert noob numbers reflective of age/iq>" and uses Kyogre with 4 water moves, dream eater darkrai, nubjask and substitute blissey on you.
