I don't get the hate either, they don't force their rules or anything, they keep them on simulators.
And it's only OU that gets shit, even when koko banned Venomoth from BL3 to BL, nobody gave a fuck
If OU mentions a suspect test, everybody loses their shit over it, while they could ban some really stupid shit like Pikachu from UU and nobody would bat an eyelid

Also Smogon has a tendency to avoid reason at all costs when it comes down to the bans. In recent cases popular opinion and bandwagoning were the causes of bans instead of people actually respecting the meta.

except that doesn't happen
if you want to discuss some lesser used mon, you PM the mods and make a case for it

you can then open a thread about it for discussion

if a thread has been opened for ages, has very little discussion (if any), AND the pokemon isn't very good, then and only then does it get locked

While there are some pokemon that are good in doubles but shit in singles, the reverse is also true. You'll never see passive, more defensive pokemon like Quagsire, Skarmory or Chansey in VGC. And while I'm not sure how good Mega Pinsir is offhand in doubles, it seems to have very, very low usage for something that's so strong on singles.

And on the other hand, there are pokemon that are absolute shit in both formats.

Threads dedicated to one mon shouldn't be allowed, anyway. They just clutter up everything and most of them die after three pagers. That's what all the lower tiers have done.

mega pinsir is never seen for a few reasons
1) rock slide
2) it's a strong physical attacker but why use it over kanga?
3) rock slide
4) burns and intimidates
5) rock slide

So its viability changes when you use it in a different format?

That's kind of what I was getting at.

Yes. But it might've gotten some usage if kanga didn't exist.

If Rock Slide didn't exist.

Just look at Jeudy's Charizard. It was completely nullified by Garchomp.

x4 weakness to rocks on VGC is lethal.

Smogon is alright if you ignore the copypaste teams. I've read a few of their articles on teambuilding and they all recommended looking through the lower tiers for other viable options.

They had great synergy. Pachirisu redirected attacks and Garchomp was able to sweep, the same with Gardevoir and Telepathy.

Like one player said yesterday: "chomp is chomp"
