lc 1v1 bans
bans: Aipom, Cranidos, Drifloon, Hippopatas, Meditite, Misdreavus, Murkow, Porygon, Swirlix
note that Scyther, Tangela, Sneasel, and Gligar are still banned but aren't lc or lc uber so fall under the blanket "not lc" ban
unbans from lc uber: Cutiefly, Gothita, Trapinch, Vulpix, Wingull, Yanma
BANS:
Cranidos: Banned because its insanely powerful, outspeeds the entire tier with scarf, has mold breaker, good coverage, and pokemon have to run specific sets that are un-optimal otherwise to beat it, like Grassium Z Yanma and that still has to protect turn 1
Hippopatas: With eviolite, literally nothing in the tier could ohko it, and then it clicked yawn and basically won. It could change its sets around a bit to beat anything that "should" counter it, and was just literally op.
UNBANS:
Cutiefly: Really underwhelming. Lacking in defense, and relying on quiver dance, as well as bad base stats just make it really dissapointing. Not much it really does, especially in a tier where rock types are very good, as well as sturdy users.
Gothita: Good-ish coverage but lets be real here without Shadow Tag this thing does jack shit. Its just really bad. Again, just mediocre stats. Even worse then Cutiefly.
Trapinch: "100 Atk! OMG!" and then it has 0 stats besides this. Like Gothita, its main niche is ineffective here, and we never even bothered suspecting it once it got banned from LC (we made lc 1v1 before trapinch got made)
Vulpix: Oh hey thats a nice Chlorophyll swichin you have after you have Vulpix set sun for yo-oh wait, this is 1v1. Shoot. Actually, Vulpix is quite good here, reaching S- tier, due to its very powerful Fire boosted stabs, as well as good bulk with eviolite and will-o. It unfortuantly has to rely on Energy Ball, and lacks power outside of its Fire type moves, really. Loses to a lot of high tiers but beats a lot of others, preventing it from being banworthy but it is still very good.
Wingull: Similar to Trapinch in the "banned after we made lc 1v1" department. It had never been a problem for us pre lc ban, so we never bothered to test it. It still isn't a problem.
Yanma: Literally the definition of fast special attacker. Unfortunantly, thats all it is, and it wins based on what z move it has. It can run stab z moves in bug and flying, or z solar beam to catch pokemon who would usually beat it off guard.
i don't think i have to go through the lc ubers who are both banned here and in regular lc
Let me finish this off by saying that this whole situation is a big mess. By all logic, I should be the LC 1v1 leader still. Im not, and its because Passion never saw my lc 1v1 post. But he had heard Quote and Joker working on LC 1v1, so he puts Joker as leader. This isn't right, its not fair,
its not okay and its not acceptable. This LC 1v1 has been going since before the 31st of May, and it has had a lot of support and a lot of people who knew I was the leader, so there really isn't any excuse. Passion: I stated this before, but you should've known I was the LC 1v1 leader. I don't know if you forgot or what, but this is a problem. Quote and Joker: You guys did nothing wrong really, but maybe try looking here or asking around before you made LC 1v1? I can guarantee someone would've told you about me leading LC 1v1, or you would've read a post I made about it, and this mess would've been avoided. I'm at fault here as well, I should've asked Passion to put me as the LC 1v1 leader, and add that to the list, but I didn't. (to be fair, the reason i didn't is because i thought i hd to submit it as a 1v1 om first). But i already agreed to let Joker be the leader, and now i can't go back on that, no matter how much i really want to. I do regret folding in and saying it was fine, i really shouldn't have, but I did, no changing it. But what i won't run with is the meta restarting. If it does, we all know mine is better and more developed, and I will start mine up again, this is a promise. I would also like to still be majorly involved with the future of lc 1v1. I would greatly appreciate it if Joker was willing to be Co-leader or something with me, but if not, its fine. I just need to be majorly involved.
Im sorry if this seems like a change of attitude for me, its just that i was scared of being rude. But im putting my foot down here. If this is to continue without me, it still goes my way, or else I will take over LC 1v1 again.
never let this happen again.
making sure
