I can see why Magneton and Chansey are banned because they weren't originally designed to have an evolution, but how did Kadabra and Combusken get banned?

>>31310343
There is already?
Nice try though.

>>31310560
Speed Boost.

>>31310560
chansey is banned because eviolite makes it OU
magneton just has decent enough stats to make it viable among other 3rd forms while stuff like rhydon electabuzz and magmar do not

>>31310621
Yeah I said I understand why they're banned, I was asking about Kadabra and Combusken, though thanks to >>31310590 I get Combusken now.

>>31310812
kadabra is too good for that cup. it has god-tier speed for that tier and psychic means that only steel and other psychics resist it

>want to use blaziken
>banned
>want to use combusken
>banned
>want to use torchic
>the only viable set is Baton pass
Fucking hell. My favorite line gets cucked so hard everytime. Why?

>>31311520
It's spelled clucked

>>31311520
more like clucked everytime.

>>31311520
The worst part is that they banned Protean as an ability and not the mon. What the fuck? They should have kept blaze combusken in that meta.

>>31311520
If it makes you feel any better mega blaziken in ou at the moment would simply be average. It would have to run 3 moves and protect to even have a chance to break through tapu fini, and tapu fini ohkos after rocks, and mega blaziken has to run eq to get through toxapex. Dont get me starter on how hard defensive lando counters it. Since toxapex and tapu fini are basically on every team, and lando is on every team, Blaziken would simply be mediocre

>>31311609
The people who quick banned blaziken have a bias against it. They even banned it before shit like mega gengar which actually broke the tier

>>31311636
>Blaziken is now UU, where it gets to hang out with bros like Gengar, Starmie, Scizor, etc.

>>31310885
And Nuzleaf, Krokorok, and Zweilous.

>>31311670
Uu is basically gen 5 ou withiut weather wars

>>31311948
>Uu is basically gen 5 ou withiut weather wars

So It's the best meta then?
