    i was told by @Darkshade it was banned specifically for this pokemon and reason. 

    If this pokemon was broken, everyone would be playing it in psl and team tournaments. The ban in automated tournaments and matchmaking affects more than Aron too; all low level pokemons are not allowed despite the fact that they are sometimes better than if they were lvl 50.

     

    I remember the post you made about aron, but I don't recall any staff member replying to what you said. The only answer I got from staff when I suggested allowing low level pokemons in matchmaking was this:

    @Eggplant

    i made one and surprise surprise it is banned in TT mode in pokemmo. even ubers wont allow you to use it.

    It isn't banned for PSL or for Silph Co tournaments. The main reason why it is banned in matchmaking and automated tournaments is because they don't want noobs using their low level mons there.

    Aron lvl 1 with Shell Bell as an object and Protect, Endeavor and Sandstorm/Toxic as moves is op despite having abysmal stats. Aron doesn't need EV investment or good IVs. The only thing Aron needs is a trashboi as an opponent, so that the sweep can come true.

     

    Thanks to Shell Bell and having only 12 HP, Aron can get back to full life after using Endeavor against nearly any healthy lvl 50 pokemon which also mean getting back sturdy while bringing the opponent to very low HP. Aron can't really switch on anything because it would risk losing sturdy and that would make it useless. For that reason, playing it as a lead is ideal.

     

    It does decently well in tiers where ghosts are rare like NU and OU since that means there are no free switch against endeavor for the opponent. Pairing Aron with a decent Pursuit user helps a lot against ghosts.

     

    Aron also does pretty good against offense in general because it is a huge momentum killer.

     

    Since Endeavor is not a fatal move, Aron needs Toxic or Sandstorm to hit the opponent's mon after it has been brought down to low hp. Protect can capitalise safely on the dmg from Toxic and/or Sandstorm. 

     

    All steel types are unaffected by Toxic and Sandstorm, so Aron is left harmless against them. Pokemons immune to Toxic that hold a leftovers and have less than 176 HP can also not die against Aron. For that reason, Roar should be considered as a potential move on aron since it would prevent certain mons from setting up on it. 

     

    Aron is super vulnerable against multistrike moves, sleeping moves and Fake Out. Therefore, Aron needs to be supported with a team that can handle the mons using these moves commonly and, since those mons vary from tier to tier, the counters needed will also vary from tier to tier.

    I thought Sansa and Arya were both scheming together to make it look like they were against each other, but were instead trying to catch Littlefinger out, but then Gbwead said it wouldnt make sense since they were talking in a room with nobody there... Unless it's some next level shit. I thought that theory would be pretty clever.

    It's a lose/lose situation for me. If Arya did change personality so drastically, it's a bullshit set up for a tail off ending of a storyline. That would not meet GoT previous standards imo. If Arya is antagonising Sansa, so that Sansa will seem genuinely distressed when facing Little Finger, that's pretty cool if it leads to Little Finger getting tricked. The problem for me with Little Finger getting tricked by Arya is that I don't want him to die, be defeated or weak until we get some Little Finger vs Varys action.

    and its way too easy to dismiss different opinions by claiming its blatant stupidity

    and yet facts remain facts; enchanteur bested everyone he faced this season. The people claiming he is undeserving of the title are just jealy uguus. They say ZDFire or Zebra are more deserving because they won against better opponents than the ones enchanteur had to face, but they turn a blind eye at the fact that both Zebra and ZDFire lost once. If they were 6-0, I would totally agree that they deserve the title more than Enchanteur, but they are 6-1 and that should mean something.
