Not before me ;^)

Smogon doesn't do suspect tests anymore. Get with the times grandpa.

*blocks your path*

it's hilarious how many problems could be solved with "make fairy weak to fire already dammit"

a 4x weakness would do a lot in stopping it

>>33042972
Nah. Steel needs a nerf first. Make Steel weak to Psychic, since psychic powers can bend metal or some shit

>>33042842
>Can smogon ban this thing already?
They'll hold off on testing the obviously broken shit for as long as possible with more conveniently timed """"""""""""tournaments""""""""""""", then they'll decide it's too much of a "glue" to ban. Just like Lando-T.

>>33042842
>aegis would check this thing but its ban to ubers
this is what happened in XY, Smogon banned everything's checks and counters and now stall is the best play style
it's dumb

>>33043124
>>"make this type weak to the type it was specifically invented to nerf"
are you retarded ? Dark was made to nerf psychic, steel was there to give the devs more design space

>>33043152
>are you retarded ? Dark was made to nerf psychic, steel was there to give the devs more design space
both were created specifically to nerf psychic and buff fighting, which is why they both resist psychic and are weak to fighting

Not that guy so not gonna argue for the super effective thing, but that has made psychic types garbage for many generations and was completely uncalled for. Dark types and the special split were more than enough.

Psychic powers can't do any such thing. That's why Geller had his ass handed to him with help courtesy of James Randi on the Tonight Show way back when, lol.

How shit can you fucking be? This thing isn't even strong, you can't lose to it unless you have frail babby offense shit, and even then, you should be able to play around it.

In mid-high ladder (1700s and 1800s), I never get swept by this, nor am I able to sweep with it unless I use lure shit like Shuca or Occa Berry and build a team around that.

>>33043392
Hello, must be fun playing in elo 1300. You're fucking retarded if you think this thing doesn't need to be banned. It currently checks pretty much all of ou.

>>33043403
t. can't read
t. doesn't know what a check is
t. hyper offense bitchboi

>>33043392
Of course you don't get swept by it, at that point in the ladder it's all either stall teams or some other team that runs the cancer that's duggy. That doesn't make its impact on the metagame any less detrimental.

>>33043422
t. has never gotten past 1400 elo

Why would you even care what smogon does?
It's just a shitty website on the internetz, play the game the way you like the most, smogon can fuck off

>>33043474
Why do you care about other people caring about Smogon?

>>33043496
>a month
15 and a half days

What are the main team archetypes at the moment?
I haven't really played Smogon seriously since gen 5, I love playing the huge OU cluster fuck at the start of a generation but never stick to it really when the tiers settle.

>>33043515
Stall

>>33043515
don't take competitive advice from /vp/. Actually go on smogon and ask there or just watch some battles on showdown.

>>33043530
I thought people would at least know what was popular at the moment. Guessing if Stall is huge HO isn't doing so well.

>>33043497
I don't, why do you care about me caring about others caring about smogon? I'm just a shitty poster on the internetz, my opinion holds the same value as smogon's which is . . . nothing at all :^)

>>33043555
HO at the moment is only Webs and Aurora Veil, and the former is declining because Mew is everywhere. In general there's lot of fat shit being used.

>>33043556
If you didn't care you would have just ignored this thread.

>>33043569
That's fair most of the Pokémon that are OU viable introduced in Sun and Moon were chunky lads.
The only team I dabbled with was a A Ninetails, A Sanslash Vanillux aggressive hail team

Honestly Smogon needs to wake the fuck up or some other site needs to take over being the Judge and Jury of competitive pokemon outside VGC. Not one but two pokemon super centralize the "meta" and yet the Smogon Gods do jackshit to keep it in check. Guys when you play with friends or something just say "hey lets ban Lando T and Magearna" cause otherwise even your friends will be those guys to win.

>>33042842
just don't play OU. it's just shit. RU, NU and UU leave you much more freedom in teambuilding and isn't nearly as cancer

>>33043201
I never understood this logic.

If something was so abusive that even an idiot could win with it, to the point that raw power was subversing skill, then having it legal for tournaments would make the powers-that-be less likely to win.

>>33045530
lando-t is fucking banworthy, its used on more than 50% of teams and your meme is shit. stop posting already.

>>33046035
>50% of teams
Shit nigger if you're going to meme at least get the number right

>>33045454
This but UU and RU are also cancer.

>>33042842

> I'm too stupid to think of a counter, better ban it.

You are the reason smogon got away with banning everything instead of letting the meta develop.

Go play VGC if you want the same shit every game.

Spore solves everything.

at least lele would be banned with that
