I agree with you Redless about the development of the metagame, and about discuss bans anyway because it is fun and it's a good mind work. Now coming back about the ban discussion: I still don't understand what luck/miss chances had to do with Sleep, if the problem is both Dark Void or Spore...

But this metagame ban things based on their brokeness, it doesn't ban because things define more or less the metagame. By the way, a less defined metagame is a less overcentralized metagame, so by extension it is much less close to be broken than defining things are. Anyway, why do you think a...

If sleep is a problem, then Sleep Clause is the way to go, not banning Dark Void because it is not an unbalanced move. But even Sleep Clause isn't necessary, there is Insomnia, Status Orbs, Magic Bounce, Aromatherapy, and son on to stop Sleep spreading as a disease.

Well, then tell what's the logic behind those posts, because i see none. Spore wasn't overcentralizing the metagame AND wasn't banned in BH gen 5. Dark Void is worse compared to that Spore, that's really plain and simple. Is the reason to ban Dark Void because you guys are doubtful to choose...

I don't want to be disrespectful now, but for God's sake, STOP ASKING TO BAN THINGS! lol Seriously guys, this metagame serves to a purpose, the purpose of being as versatile as it can with a few exceptions, and those exceptions are things that overcentralize the metagame. Basically this...

Aren't ghosts immune to trap? So if Chansey transforms, she escapes from Magnet Pull. Anyway, even if it works, Acunpressure over Tail Glow and Baton Pass over Magic Coat would be an option.

What? But Giratina-O and Darmanitan-Z ARE possible in BH without Griseous Orb and Zen Mode, or am i dreaming?

Is possible to use Giratina-O and Darmanitan-Z in-game? I mean, Giratina-O without Griseous Orb and Darmanitan-Z from the start lol

1. No; 2. No; Now i'll explain why i think like this: Most MegaMons have an Uber-like BST, so ban those things would be the same as ban Kyogre and such. I mean, Charizard-X and Reshiram have the same type, both can have any ability and move (since this is BH), but Charizard has a BST of 634...

I don't know if i'm overestimating Protean or what, but now i got really excited about this. I mean, you could pick up Mewtwo-X/Y (the two higher Atk/Sp Atk on the metagame) and select a bunch of powerful physical/special attacks that covers each other + some stat boosting move, or even go...

On this page: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-battle-mechanics-research.3489239/page-9 They say Protean works with any move (even non-damaging ones), and works before you deal damage, making it a REALLY good ability (when i first read Protean's description i thought it to be...

With 160 base Attack Mega Blaziken will be the new Darmanitan. Sets with Drought, Chlorophyll, Contrary, Adaptability or Tinted Lens under Sun, all of them will spam overhelming V-Create. Charizard although got the good Dragon type (not so good now with the Fairies, but still good) for one of...

From what i've tested on Ubers Beta, it works as Solar Beam. If it was a Future Sight-like move, then Life Orb could be used instead of Power Herb and Protect would be used to scout the charge turn.

Wow, not expecting that. Now grounded Steels with Magic Bounce will become much more common. Of course there's still Poison Heal Landorous with Dragon Tail/Earthquake/Spore/Filler, but overall that's a punch on Grounds and a bless on Magic Bouncers.

Hummm, i haven't thought of this, now you mentioned it looks more durable and usable than Rayquaza. I was thinking of Yvetal more as a Magic Bounce user because it has Nature Power immunity AND at the same time could put pressure on ghosts with its dark attacks so it can spin hazards away.
