Then what about TTar and Dragonite? We'll see. Those potential bans will all influence how dominant another Pokemon gets. Looking forward to it! I dk if you meant to leave it off this list but I've found in playing so far that mence will probably be too strong. With plenty of Sp att to run fire blast for steel types, the only things that can switch in on that insane outrage, and enough natural bulk and speed to set up on all sorts of stuff, mence is gonna be insane. Maybe not garchomp level, especially considering the weakness to stealth rocks, but next to potentially go IMO assuming we dont end up with gen 1-3 legends Also another cool eviolite chansey calc: +2 252 SpA Life Orb Lucario Aura Sphere vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 447-530 (63.4 - 75.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Cosmicplasma 1 Link to comment

They always have a set to deal with their most common checks. And speaking of which you mentioned yesterday that you didn't think Azumarill was banworthy, which left me thinking about it, however the only counter I can think of is Jellicent, since once Belly Drum's novelty fades away, people will mix it up with stuff like Choice Band, and with Ice Punch, Return and Superpower it can deal a ton of damage to anything that can normally switch into it meaning you have to risk saccing a pokemon, risk it setting up belly drum or risk your switch in. 252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Return vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Rotom-Wash: 139-164 (45.8 - 54.1%) -- 96.1% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery 252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Superpower vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Rotom-Wash: 164-193 (54.1 - 63.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery 252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Superpower vs. 252 HP / 48+ Def Ferrothorn: 330-390 (93.7 - 110.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock 252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Superpower vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ferrothorn: 284-336 (80.6 - 95.4%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock 252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Return vs. 252 HP / 88 Def Amoonguss: 242-285 (56 - 65.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Black Sludge recovery 252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Ice Punch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Amoonguss: 270-318 (62.5 - 73.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Black Sludge recovery 252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Quagsire: 190-225 (48.2 - 57.1%) -- 91.8% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery Then the alternative is letting it kill something and Revenge kill it with something faster that can resist Aqua Jet but even then you'll take upwards of 60% damage in most cases +6 252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 72 HP / 4 Def Venusaur: 184-217 (57.6 - 68%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock And hell in some cases they won't even be able to RK back without taking two Aqua Jets (assuming Azu is Sitrus and it's still at 75% and has some hp investment) 252 Atk Salamence Outrage vs. 212 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 243-286 (61.6 - 72.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO +5 252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Salamence: 167-197 (50.4 - 59.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock I've yet to conduct a more throughout analysis of this so I may be missing some obvious checks (Skarm can WW away assuming sturdy is intact but still loses 99% of its health to BD superpower and 48% to CB Waterfall). But meanwhile the only way Azu can damage Jellicent is +6 252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Ice Punch vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Jellicent: 178-210 (44.1 - 52.1%) -- 77.7% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery +6 252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Knock Off vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Jellicent: 192-226 (47.6 - 56%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock But a turn later it should be suffering some serious burns (if WoW doesn't miss). But yeah I'm actually curious about why you think it isn't banworthy. Link to comment

The weakness of Azumarill is not that it has a lot of counters, but rather a lot of relevant checks in the meta. The ones I can think of off the top of my head can all take a +6 aqua jet and then kill with their respective moves are, Salamence, Rotom-W, Starmie, Hydreigon, Dragonite, Breloom, Venusaur, and even a bunch of other mons that can live a neutral +6 azu jet at full hp. Almost everything relevant in the tier outspeeds Azu, so Azu is pretty much relying on aqua jet for all of its knockouts, bar superpower for ferrothorn or something like that. Also imo I think Azu also has a pretty hard time setting up in BW bcuz of a bunch of strong stuff that can hit it for 50% on a neutral hit, and it doesn't have fairy typing to resist a bunch of stuff. (Notably fighting, bug, dark). Also IMO, there is a bunch of other scarier setup sweepers like DD mence, DD gyara, SD scizor, SD chomp, CM Reuni etc. Not saying that Azu is bad tho, its only true counters are jellicent, some gyarados variants, and gastrodon. But I don't think that it is close to banworthy. Gunthug, notmudkip0, Mike and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Well it was originally banned for it's slow switching capabilities iirc, the fact it passed boosts was just icing on the cake. With Volt-turn coming in Baton pass' only benefit would be to pass boosts and substitutes. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see it unbanned, or at the very least tested Link to comment

Matoka Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I just don't want knee-jerk reaction bans, if Baton pass is unbanned for testing but seems stupidly strong please WAIT to see if people can make counters and techs against it that work efficiently, instead of banning it fast because people complain in the first day or three.

Reuniclus is one of the few special pokemon that can set up on Chansey without worrying about Toxic, Seismic Toss and Thunder Wave and doesn't give free turns like resttalk jolteon memes.
