SV OU drop, pre nerf booster energy was so fun and we had all the broken shit to use. SO to Great Tusk for giving me tons of 6-0s day one with pre nerf attack booster + rapid spin and tera ground, shit had 0 counters

"calyrex shadow is broken"
252+ Atk Choice Band Diglett Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Calyrex-Shadow: 352-416 (103.2 - 121.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Doesn’t matter if the 19th Tera is a neutral typing or an omni-type, but giving Blaziken and Serperior a spammable and completely unwallable 80 BP STAB and completely neutral typing to survive more hits, those two are gonna be unstoppable behind screens.
Armarogue after seeing everyone forgot it exists:
It's so messed up that the anti-diglett lobbyists suppressed the mon it perfectly counters just to make it unviable
Got a ban coming when I drive home if I can stay awake
And Sneasler’s dead everyone.
finch i stg
Cheers to you and the council for acting upon the survey results this quickly, it's a lot of work but we appreciate it
About the survey results, I don't think any mon but Sneasler could've amassed as many votes from the qualified playerbase. Also, just speculation on my part, even if Dengo were the one to have had the highest score, I imagine the council would've settled on a suspect for it, just to ascertain its influence in OU after Gliscor's ban.
Rip sneas.
Gambit and Dengo also need ban.
Gambit not feeling so broken is mostly because everyone over prepares for it, it is no fun getting reverse swept. Despite all this, its an incredible mon to use that will always do some heavy lifting, any mon getting this heavily counter played almost everygame would either fall to UU or be banned to Ubers.
Dhengo isnt as obvious but its crazy strong and also very centralizing, it heavily favours a hazard abussive meta, as it makes any kind of actual hazard removal considerably harder. (Tidy up is not reliable unless cursed bulky meme maushold, court change isnt really removing anything in the end and GWeezing isnt just there)

I don't see what moves they could remove from it (aside from Toxic and Defog)
This upcoming ban better be Gholdengo or I'm gonna go insane, this mon has committed far too many war crimes to be allowed in the tier.
Haxorus hearing there will be completely unresisted STAB moves at the function:

When rampardos untheorems itself, what will yall even do? Give it sticky web support and it just wins.
why worry about rampardos when hoopa-u exists right now and would get access to the same typeless coverage
oh yeah mr

Because rampardos is funny, and Hoopla-U isn't.

I’m still up yo, we workin
don't make me pull up another "pokemon at computer" meme
tbf hoopa already punches nukes into stall with just its stabs alone. what im worried about mostly is band/ ddance dragapult getting unresisted physical STAB to spam. not even gambit can stop it now
Rampardos is moreso funny in the sad clown way, where everything it does (usually ending in horrific failure) just makes you pity it.
