Man, I tried making Swellow viable in competitive play. It baically turned into a huge glass canon who could do like 1-2 attacks before dying. Was fun to use, tho

I am still triggered by the fact that Smogon banned Landorus in competitive play for two whole generations.
One of the worst moments in competitive play.

^ Agreed. Landorus was great, but far from broken. Ice moves, which are extremely common, completely destroy him.
The Swagger Ban was my boiling point though. "It makes the entire game boil down to luck" literally all of Pokemon boiled down to luck. I won a game yesterday when my opponet quite literally missed nearly every attack.

Swagger ban is hilariously stupid.
I can sorta see a reason for banning Spore, since it has 100% accuracy, but in Gen VI, Grass types are now immune to it, so even it isn't as broken as it was before.
The only thing I can fully agree on "banning" would be Mega Rayuaza, since its core concept is so absolutely ******* broken into trillions of tiny pieces that it's actually unfair.

I understand chatter ban and the sleep clause.

Gyarados with Dragon Dance + Waterfall + Ice Fang + Stone Edge is what I swept Cynthia with in my Platinum Nuzlocke. lol

^ I generally use Earthquake instead of Stone Edge. Moxie Gyarados + Leftovers + Dragon Dance + Earthquake + Waterfall + Ice Fang

Sleep Clause is a god send, battling without it is miserable.
Moxiedos is so amazing, hard to believe it wasn't used very much in Gen 5 OU, it was also my ace in the hole. My set was Dragon Dance, Earthquake, Stone Edge and Watterfall.

^ oh I was talking about in Showdown. What was your Earthquake user?

Garchomp.

right... It must be Garchomp when it comes to Earthquake and Gen 4. For Showdown I would give a Garchomp Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Brick Break and Stone Edge/ Rock Tomb

Brick Break is a ******* lifesaver.

Also, on the topic of Sun and Moon, anyone else find it weird that gameplay and the official site's index seem to suggest there are multiple Type: Nulls, or at the very least that it isn't considered to be a legendary? It's grouped in with the regular Pokemon on the site (with Solgaleo and Lunala being the only two new pokemon listed classified as "Legendary", so far, and Magearna being "Mythical"), and gameplay footage shows it being used by a character who is presented as a high-up mook for Team Skull. This seems incredibly odd, especially considering the official info we've actually been given about it, which suggests it to be something more along the lines of Mewtwo.
- 10,687

I predict that Type: Null is like a prototype or a beta for something BIG that Gamefreak doesn't want to show off.
- 15,614
- 7,053
That very well could be the case. It's also possible that Type: Null is not yet "complete", which would tie in quite well with its hinted connection to Arceus.
- 40,457
- 12,924
Hey Azzy. If Arceus and the rest of the creation trio gets this infinite buff we're all theorizing, how do you think he'd fare against Asriel?

Actually, from the description it sounds like they were hindering its power and speed.Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:
"The mask fitted to Type: Null's head is a piece of equipment designed to control its latent powers. It's extremely heavy, so it also serves to hinder Type: Null's agility."
So maybe there will be an unleashed form?

@Gremmy, you can pick up an old 2DS for really cheap now. I got mine for well under 100 dollars. Screens a bit small but its perfectly playable.
Speaking of which, I swear to god if Sun/Moon isn't 2DS compatible..
