gbwead Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) From what I have seen so far, I feel OU is in a great place without Chansey. Imo, Chansey was a status absorber before being the go-to special wall. Without it, people seem to struggle more against status; they must send a poison/steel type to absorb that toxic or a ground/electric type to absorb that twave. Clerics are therefore more coveted and the ability synchronise is more useful than before. It is also more difficult to stop certain special threats. I personally think that Sturdy Magneton as a lead is deadly, but most people seem concerned by Typhlosion, Alakazam and weather teams in general. Scarfers are great – especially Houndoom – to deal with these threats, but Sassy/Careful Arcanine is also very decent here, Thick Fat Miltank – with access to heal bell – is not that bad against Typhlosion/Sunny Day teams and Careful Forretress will do well against Zams that don’t have HP Fire. Then, we have gimmicks here and there that can also work. If, however, we conclude that one of the mentioned special threats is indeed broken without Chansey around to stop it, what does that prove? That Chansey isn’t unhealthy for OU? Not really, because it would mean that running Chansey is necessary to prevent a sweep from the specific threat. The level of centralisation involved would be far worse than what we anticipated going into the test ban and the next logical step would be to test ban that specific threat along with Chansey. The test ban has only started a few days ago, it is still too early imo to have a verdict. Let’s give it time and see how the tier develops. Edit: What I have said in this post reflects only my personnal stance on the Chansey test ban and should not be taken as the official position of the TC.

Munya Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I don't think that's a gimmick, I think that's running a move to counter a type of threat, else all hidden powers would be considered gimmicks? Arimanius 1 Link to comment

So basically the test ban isbecause people can't 1 hit ko chansey with any move they want + the usage %? i mean seems fair enough i would like to kill it with shadow ball rofl Link to comment
Munya Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 A post will be made soon explaining everything more than they already have in this thread, I pushed the update before they were ready to make the post as I am trying to keep the tier updates on schedule, and getting them out on the 1st is about as on schedule as it gets.

KaynineXL Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Oh no... We've got to think about our special def core and not just rely on 1 Pokemon to wall everything... It's a disaster :( Takens, WestTurtle, Arimanius and 7 others 10 Link to comment
Draekyn Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Funny how there's always people who don't seem to know what a test ban is They're lurking in the shadows, yearning to show how dumb they are Suneet and epicdavenport 2 Link to comment
SpartacusGD Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 If we're going to do complex ban i'd suggest bring back chansey and complex ban curse on snorlax. Link to comment
