OldKeith Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Pokedex Entry (courtesy of Sapphire): The hair on ZIGZAGOON’s back is bristly. It rubs the hard back hair against trees to leave its territorial markings. This POKéMON may play dead to fool foes in battle. Now with Linoone gone, it is no secret that some people are still used to "the easy win" and they are trying to bypass the ban by using the pre-evolution. While at first people might find Zigzagoon weak, some calculations will prove them wrong. The problematic set is Belly Drum. Not even going to address the Choice Band set, which is clearly broken anyway but whatever. Now, can Zigzagoon set up a Belly Drum with ease? Well you tell me. Steelix Earthquake vs 252 HP Zigzagoon 60.9% - 74.9%. Oh, just pefect with that Sitrus. Vileplume Giga Drain ... 59% - 71.4% Umbreon Pursuit ... 22.8% - 26.9% Azumarill Choice Band Superpower ... 56-62% Clearly an easy way to set up, since nothing we commonly see in UU can stop it from setting up. So we get that out of the way. Next, let's see what it can do AFTER it uses Win Button Belly Drum. Extremespeed vs: max def Umbreon - 166.3% - 196% max def Slowking - 204% - 240.6% max def Gligar - 202.3% - 237.8% max def Steelix - 89% - 105.5% (semi reliable in theory, but walls get worn out during a battle) Wait, you have an Aggron? ZOMG ! Zigzagoon Rock Smash vs Aggron 104% - 124.3% Shuckle will save you. Or will it? Zigzagoon Iron Tail vs max def Shuckle 253.5% - 299.2% As you can see Zigzagoon posesses sweeping capabilities just like its evolution, Linoone, sets up easily and there is no way to stop it rather than praying for an Iron Tail miss. So before more people ruin this lovely tier we have, please ban this uncompetitive pokemon. Vaeldras, fredrichnietze, DoubleJ and 4 others 7 Link to comment

YagamiNoir Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Ghost types wall it apart from Iron Tail and stuff so eh. Oh wait. Pokedex Entry (courtesy of Sapphire): The hair on ZIGZAGOON’s back is bristly. It rubs the hard back hair against trees to leave its territorial markings. This POKéMON may play dead to fool foes in battle. Zigzagoon used Flighty Marsupial on Haunter/Misdreavus!(or practically anything) ....... Everything targeted by Flighty Marsupial fainted from excessive fail laughter! EDIT: What should I even name the play dead thing Edited April 1, 2015 by YagamiNoir Link to comment

If you think ghosts have an easy time surviving in UU, you probably don't play much. Choice Band Adamant Haunter 40 bp Pursuit vs 252 HP 252+ Def Haunter 102.4% - 121.3% GG no re.

Senile Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 uncompetitive Wrong word, it's not uncompetitive. Post is invalid, uninstall game, commit sudoku to retain some honor for your family you casual. Don't leave the NU council tho, that way we can keep up the tradition of dead council members.

Noad Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I think we are all forgetting Zigzagoon's one true counter, please bow down. [spoiler] [/spoiler] I don't think Zigzagoon should be moved anywhere until this monster takes its rightful place in Ubers. /discussion ;) TheGloriousWalrus, Sylou and Rache 3 Link to comment
