Nothing personal, I protect my people
I would prefer if you didn't call out a council member who has obviously played and tested Godly Gift in last gen and before it became OMotM. Shadow Tag is uncompetitive as it emphasizes playing a passive playstyle and being able to allow you to eliminate single threats to your team or certain Pokémon that the other team depends on for their cores. I'm not going into more detail over this and personal quarrels with this ruling is not an acceptable argument. Shadow Tag is banned and will remain banned, end of discussion.Have you ever played godly gift?
Sorry that I'm getting angry now, but when you have played it you should know how crazy high the damage output of Stallbreakers like the mentioned Pikachu is.
Here the calc with 150 Attack (Groudon, Deoxys-N, Zekrom...), assuming Gothitelle tricked Pikachu a choice scarf before it could attack:
252 Atk Pikachu Volt Tackle vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Gothitelle: 228-268 (66.2 - 77.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Gothitelle weakened Pikachu by removing its light ball, but Pikachu is still alive, has only taken recoil damage from Volt Tackle, while Gothitelle has to switch out (but is severely crippled) or die. Gengar-Mega is easily OHKOed, even without a Light Ball.
Also, do you really want to run Gengar-Mega or Gothitelle just for potentially taking out one opposing mon (and even that isn't sure), when other gods like Deo-A, Arceus, Ho-ho/Lugia or Kyu-W giving your team much better stat boosts?
(the only reason I want to be able to use STag Wobbufet is to be able to use 190 HP Toxapex and Shuckle, because it is fun, just like using Shuckle as a god :D)
Edit: I'm adding a blacklisted discussion tab in the intro and Shadow Tag will hopefully be it's only resident. Any more discussion of the STag ban will be removed.
Edit 2: Now that the Mega Sableye ban has gone through on the ladder, I will be extending the suspect one day, so it will be ending on Saturday at 11:59 P.M. EDT. The requirements for voting in the suspect have been lowered from 78 GXE to 77 GXE.
