Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I know that its usage based, I was just under the assumption that they would have been putting less viable mons that got trapped by usage in OU by Technicality since Azelf feels like a big noob trap imo
Thank you for answering
I know how OU by Technically works, it's just that what confuses me is that Raikou and Dugtrio are also OU by Technicality due to their poor viability in current OU. My main question is why doesn't Azelf fall into this category?
Why are Mega-Latias, Mega-Tyranitar, and Mega-Slowbro in OU by Technicality, while something like Azelf isn't despite being very low on the Viability Rankings compared to the aforementioned Megas?
