OrangeManiac Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I'm not exactly following the reason why Lucario's test must be extended if P2 got banned. Isn't the point of a test to see if the meta can healthily adopt to a threat? It's not like the existence of Porygon2 had much impact whether people found these adaptations to Lucario or not. And Porygon2's usage in Lucario teams is almost equal to its overall usage so it's not like either is a significant support to other one according to the statistics. Link to comment
CaptnBaklava Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Give Garchomp SD back so P2 can rise up to OU again. Spoiler jk Link to comment

The way it was potentially presented to me is, that, without p2 lucario has less opportunities to setup and thus would be less of a problem. Link to comment

Why is that? Is it because P2 is providing Teleport support to Lucario? Or is it for another reason? Link to comment

I do not think that deleting something so that a broken thing remains is a good idea, lucario is a problem, it may or it does not continue to be, also pory2 is not just an option for the boost of this, choice users locked, and predict of changes are, walls like umbreon are also, so should we remove all that so that it has no chance to boost? Lucario has no justification On the other hand, you are claiming that each person has different opinions about pory2 and it drives you crazy, so why don't we do a vote count of players with experience? So I think the divided opinions could be solved, DoubleJ, RysPicz and Catman16 3 Link to comment

Poufilou Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I've come back playing a bit and I know I am noob but to me P2 remains the main broken thing in the tier, it's pretty easy to get download boost and chip down almost every walls in the meta, teleport gives huge momentum, and physical threats are wore down eventually coming into it. It's just a pokemon that you can slap in any team and it'll do well and sponge whatever you want, making teambuilding boring. I haven't had any issues with Lucario personnally, because it's not really fast, I feel like it wasn't hard to revenge kill without getting killed by priorities (e-speed or vacuum). I can see how it's strong though, but I'm noob so... Just make something about this duck pls pachima, AwaXGoku and Quinn010 3 Link to comment
