Not played OU in a while, why is Blissey now OU?

Yet other mechanics, for example Dynamax and Tera DID get suspect tested, pokemon vs mechanics argument isn't a strong argument when the precedent is to also suspect the mechanic.

Gambit got significant support in a survey yet failed it's suspect test, banning something as big as sleep should have been suspect tested.

I'm sorry but I completely disagree, making a change as BIG as banning sleep, something that has been part of competitive pokemon since the start and has been fine all gen until Darkrai was dropped should always be suspect tested, not giving the playerbase a say when there's so much time to...

For the second time this Gen the council has failed miserably in running the gen imo. The first of course being the Volc ban and the most recent being banning sleep WITHOUT a suspect test, banning a whole status that has been fine in every gen outside of gen 5 without a suspect test is a bit...

How can you miss my boy Ace out of this?:psycry:

I will never understand people having a go at the council for how they've handled tera this generation, imo they've made some mistakes (shed tail being allowed for so long and Volc ban being the biggest) in managing the tier but in regards to Tera they've been flawless. They gave the players a...

I don't really agree, if you're using terrain and lose your setter for whatever reason you're then on a timer to get the unburden mon in and you won't necessarily get the right mon in that time to bring your unburden mon in safely to sweep. Overall I'd agree that terrain is the better way to go...

Fake out with normal gem is a nice way to activate unburden.

Not being able to burn it is huge imo and the more immediate power of 145 vs 130 is noticeable but Kyurem can go both ways and is still really stupid in need of a ban despite being arguably worse than Bax.

How much do you enjoy SV OU right now (with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best)? 9. Most fun I've had in OU since probably before home but mons are always fun even when there's bullshit going around. How competitive do you find SV OU to be right now (with 1 being the worst and 10 being...

I'm sorry but this idea is really dumb, in ecology there's something called keystone species, so strong can the effect a keystone species be that when reintroduced to an environment the literal geography itself can be changed, as show by the fact that the rivers and streams of Yellowstone park...

Outside of the fact they're not broken? Gambit already failed in a suspected test at a time when it was better than it currently is, maybe it will get super annoying and hateful again (I was team ban before the dlc) as the meta settles down, but he's isn't nearly as egregious now as he was...

I agree with most of this post and to expand a lil bit on the variety of the meta the 2 mons that are repeated are OU GOATED Skarm that has been OU since it's introduction minus one black mark against its record and a bulky water with a busted ability, both of these mons should be expected to be...

It's also just Christmas, people are busy.
