>After unanimously deciding that some action needed to be taken to deal with sun teams, the council reviewed two main options: banning the ability Drought, and banning Houndoomite.
>Those who argued in favor of banning Houndoomite posited that sun was never an overwhelming playstyle before Houndoomite dropped to the tier, often being considered a subpar playstyle and receiving very little usage on the ladder or in tournaments. As Houndoomite was the staple element on the recent surge of Drought teams, and as Houndoom-Mega was the particularly problematic aspect with sun support, it was clear that Houndoomite was the issue.
>Some argued, however, that Drought itself was merely underexplored prior to Houndoomite's release, and that even without Houndoomite, Drought had the ability to become uncompetitive. Venusaur in particular was still a very effective sweeper under the sun even if it lacked the sheer power of Houndoom-Mega, and while Houndoomite was a big part of sun's recent success, they argued that sun still had the potential to be independently unhealthy for UU.
>A run-off vote was held, and the council ultimately decided in a 9-3 vote that banning Houndoomite was more in line with Smogon's tiering philosophy and was the best course of action. Therefore, Houndoomite is now banned from UnderUsed.

Mega Houndoom was BL2 in gen 6. What the hell happened? It can't just be the sun. Was the mega speed buff that significant?
>>
>>32818151
Speed buff is pretty significant actually, it now gets instant base 115 Speed

>>32818151
drought was banned in UU in gen 6

Oh shit, I haven't kept up with smogon this gen.
Does this mean I can use Mega Houndoom to beat up my casual friends? He's my favorite Mega. Who does he pair with, Torkoal/Venusaur?

>>32818399
Someone actually got up onto the 1800s with a sun team in OU.

High ladder OU is always filled with lots of meme teams

I'm so proud of my bro for at least being good enough to be banned from something. ILU dude

12 people made this decision.

you're one of the good ones, anon. Wish more people had your mindset

>>32819332
Its needed. And unlike OU it isn't small enough so that the whole community feels ignored.
>>
>>32819332
That's pretty much the entire UU playerbase

You people are pathetic

>>32818283
It's the same case with Conkeldur and M-Houndoom (just like an example) but well, we already know Smogon will never do anything to its favorite mon.

That's one less shitmon that Decidueye has to worry about. Once again, Decidueye's high tier position in UU is secured.
