Unban Dugtrio+Ability

[ab90]

Hilarious, you can even see in advance when someone is going to have Dugtrio in their team.

This little thing's lock ability is worth a ban? How comfortable to ban little Dugtrio because u got locked in some fight; weaklings 

Worst ban ever.

Could you please provide some points that show that Dugtrio is healthy for the meta game?

It let me play a sun team 😄

Use a diglett if you need to be sweaty so badly.

Of course i can prove that dugtrio is not bad for the meta, but why would that be my task to do (what a methodology)?

 

Dugtrio is squishy and has bad stats. Its a never used..

If someone throws a magnezone on my scarmory, i should have known it better, same is true for dugtrio.

Dugtrio never was a concern in any OU, it was not even in the meta.

 

Its obvious that Dugtrios charme, which is tricking people, hurt someones pride and requires you to think outside your "meta" box.

I would say the weird thing about the dugtrio ban is that Diglet isn’t banned despite being similar to dugtrio

I agree with youit should be an arena trap ban in general, not a dugtrio ban. But at the same time, while diglett has some better interactions (endeavor at full hp without investment hurts pretty much everything), it lacks speed which is part of what allowed dugtrio to trap a bunch of stuff and well his attack stat isnt anything considerable either.

El dejenme aclarar que no estaba roto simplemente generaba desbalance y al que dijo que no era una preocupación en OU si era si ese poke te entra de Revenge killer y no hay stheal rock en el campo te mataba una de tus posibles wincon

It's okay if you bought one AT Dugtrio bro. You can still use your new toy to shiny hunt those slippery Ralts.

The number 1 rank on the ladder was using ONLY dugtrio and succeeding with over 91% winrate.
What lets you think that Dugtrio was not in the meta ? It was OU by usage too

Arguably when someone can't get out of the 550 range their meta is so vastly different that it could be considered a completely new one, I guess

 I didn't like Dugtrio's ban as such, but it was understandable (at least I understood his ban) it wasn't a poke op pera, but it could be used if that poke harmed HO, Balanced and Stall teams in the same way. Its weaknesses were ridiculously easy to cover and required a more precise game in its presence and well, don't give it so many turns because in the end with and without it you can break walls.

Dugtrio has great ability make up for dieing moment it is HIT by anything

 

Taking away arena trap kick dugtrio out of OU probably NU and UU were it will cause alot of problems

 

we can go over amount of weakness and checks it has in ou all day. complaining one pokemon in team of 6 has high win rate is false. its about player skill with there team not becasue Dugtrio is op

 

Dugtrio by itself sucks like any pokemon with a good team behind it propar support is strong. not asking right questions

 

what other pokemon in that persons team was supporting Dugtrio so dugtrio can be used to that effect. if everyone designs a meta then someone brings in a pokemon destroys said meta. should that pokemon be banned no.  just someone whos salty for losing a match cause arena trap having no counters in there team. instead of looking inward and admitting maybe i should change my team a bit. that you messed up.  you have point your finger at pokemon tons of flaws that don't know how to exploit current build expect ppl to ban an answer makes 

 

like imagine banning drizzle or sandstorm of weather settter pokemon. they wont be good anymore cause more problems leave as is. if dugtrio becomes on everyone team then you counter it.

 

Its Called "Coverage" does your team have coverage. arena trap isn't op its just people two stupid play around obvious gimmick. same as playing around a sturdy golem. with explosion + cutrap berry what should ban sturdy too like seriously no arena trap should be banned dugtrio is paper

 

come on man don’t make it hard to defend you 

[Metalkitty66]

I'm retyping this cause clearly i was wrong on my opinion on it. so sorry for saying what i said i was wrong
