It is really broken or not? First things first. UU is broken. We have 3 Pokemon above 56% winrate. 2 of which above 20% usage. This is unprecedented outside of non-tiers, and should strike as an obvious flaw considering we both are counting mirror matches, dropping down the actual winrate, and that people were complaining PZ was broken when it was nowhere the combination of these 2 numbers. I still think Shaymin is broken, but the tier is so fragmented in an unbalanced way that is completely nonsense to just discuss multiple things at once, and P2 just needs to go asap first.

Imperial Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) I agree with the above comments - I love the Pokemon but Porygon2 should beΒ bannedΒ from the tier. Β First off, this is a Pokemon that can makeΒ anyΒ teambuild look way better than it is, especially more offensive teams as it can sponge hits from several mons, return hefty damage in return with the modest download set and also pivot out safely if needed. Β Secondly, this thing still heavily restricts offensive play as many/most offensive mons can't switch into it (haven't calculated stuff like AV Machamp but Tri Attack can do 35-40% to Bisharp), not to mention the risk of being haxxed/RNG to death by Tri Attack spam (I've seen so many freezes when spectating UU matches). Β The main stuff I believe can reliably check this are: Porygon2Β (lol) Dusclops Gigalith Umbreon Spiritomb(?) Bronzong Snorlax Rhyperior (AV set?) Empoleon (depends on chip damage & thunderbolt)Β Most of these can't do anything in return, except for possibly poisoning it which may or may not make a huge difference. Β As for Shaymin, this is definitely A or S tier right now - the 40% special defense drop is annoying with Seed Flare and it has fantastic move coverage to restrict many offensive mons from switching in, but personally I'm not sure if this is banworthy yet, I'd rather wait to see what happens when p2 gets banned which should definitely take priority. Β P.S. As always happy to provide calcs if needed to justify my opinion. Edited March 19, 2023 by Imperial RysPicz, LeJovi and pachima 3 Link to comment

Kind of agree with this, but you can't really rely on Bronzong neither Spiritomb (it'd need to be SpD invested and with either rest or something to force him out as toxic), about empo, you're forcing it to be SpWall, but it's definetely a hard switchin in many scenarios Imperial 1 Link to comment

Β The pokemon would still keep being very strong, but Γ least, fair Sorry but no, complex bans don't work like this. On MMO, Complex bans occur only in two very, VERY specific cases: If a mon is broken enough to beΒ ubers,Β as a condition to stay on OU(Example: Swords Dance Chomp, Hydreigon Draco Meteor), It could also happen on non-official right nowΒ Little Cup format; or If a mon got a fresh new Hidden Ability, it's complex banned instantly to OU(Mon + New Ability) , except if gimmick and no one cares about the HA,Β until Tier Council discuss where is the best tier to place it. It happened during October to November 2022, with some of theΒ 60+ HA released at once. Some examples are Staraptor Reckless, complex banned on UU until be moved to OU, and Nidotwins, both complex banned from NU and UU until TC decided that King would be OU and Queen would be UU.
