I'd say if you're going to complex ban a thing you should have a reason why the others are not broken but still viable.I'd rather do the complex ban, imo. Overgrow Serp is perfectly fine and not broken in the slightest. In fact, I might consider unbanning some 'mons that are only banned for their Abilities and just doing complex bans, like Blaze Blaziken or Sand Force Landorus-I.
Are you kidding me? Blaziken gets Sceptile and Swampert's movepools, which are really good for a mixed attacker like Blaziken. Lando gets flipping KYUREM AND KELDEO, so it'll be fine.I'd say if you're going to complex ban a thing you should have a reason why the others are not broken but still viable.
Sep would probably be fine because it has V-Create/Leaf Blade/Earthquake/Coil but I'm not sure Blaziken or Lando gets enough to be viable without good abilities
Thank god we have Darm-Z but even then Earth Power

But what set would blaziken run that's better than Flare Blitz/Close Combat/Brave Bird/Swords Dance which it already had and wasn't viable in most tiers in gen4.Are you kidding me?

there's no harm in unbanning BlazikenBut what set would blaziken run that's better than Flare Blitz/Close Combat/Brave Bird/Swords Dance which it already had and wasn't viable in most tiers in gen4.
Lando might be fine with a set of Earth Power/Secret Sword/Ice Beam/CM or something
tl;dr: keep blaze ban lando oughta be fine
HJK but the harm is that it's harder for newer players to get into mergemons because they'll think "Oh Blaziken's legal" and try to use speed boost but it'll tell them they can't use it(new players never fully read OP) and there's no reason to complex unban blaze because it's not really viable(outclassed by both infernape and emboar).there's no harm in unbanning Blaziken
also it doesn't get CC anyway
Actually, the part where it says that Blaziken is legal also says that SB Blaze is banned.HJK but the harm is that it's harder for newer players to get into mergemons because they'll think "Oh Blaziken's legal" and try to use speed boost but it'll tell them they can't use it(new players never fully read OP) and there's no reason to complex unban blaze because it's not really viable(outclassed by both infernape and emboar).
Ontop of this it's generally harder for coders to make complex bans and most of them hate adding them.

Most Smogonites may be against complex bans, but I'm not. They're made extremely clear in the OP, and they allow good Pokemon back into the metagame.no complex bans pls
kekIn other news, Malamar gets Contrary BDrum! w00t
Actually, Belly Drum still works with Contrary. It doesn't add or subtract stat stages, it simply directly sets your Attack to +6.
