>>17816718The main reason why it was blacklisted was that it wasn't getting an OU analysis.
The reason why most Pokemon in that category aren't blacklisted is because people know better than to insist that they're viable regardless.
>>17817066If you'd read the thread
all 120+ pages urgh, I can see why you wouldn't the consensus seems to be that Hydreigon is solid B rank material, it's just that the OP never gets updated. Metagross bounces around C.
At least Hydreigon benefits from the Steel nerf.
>>17817714Remember, Dark and Ghost resists were much more common in BW than they are now, plus the fact that Knock Off is actually a threatening move and the meta is bloated with Physical threats that suffer from Foul Play.
Also, a number of things that are 100% OU viable are currently unranked because 1) there's like 150 usable Pokemon now, holy shit and 2) people keep shitting up the thread bitching about Pokemon that suck.
Which is rather indicative of OU right now, since people keep fawning over shit like Klefki when things like Landorus-I, a former uber that hasn't been nerfed in the slightest, are allowed to drop to UU.
