>>23083227>Bar a few, the ones that are in BL are lategame/setup sweepersAnd OU as it is now is very focused on balanced builds. Sure you can make the argument that this might not be the case were it not for Talonflame, but there's really too many factors to say for sure. Point is that frail sweepers like Hawlucha are appealing to exactly one sort of team, while balanced offensive pokemon are used on basically every archetype that's not passive stall.
Also, every BL pokemon except Venomoth and Zygarde mostly (Thundy-T, Smeargle, and M-Medicham if you have higher standards) is more than viable in OU. Volcarona, which you've mentioned a couple times, has actually been getting a lot of usage in SPL, it has 8% usage there.
>Most get destroyed by Talonflame, no mater what set of Talonflame it isTalonflame threatens something like Mega Gardevoir as much as it does Serperior with any set, I don't get what you're saying here.
At any rate, must BL stuff in BL not because of Talonflame but because of plenty of other problems. Mega Medicham is mostly outclassed by Gallade and is walled by Sableye; Serperior has ass coverage, Staraptor isn't fast enough, venomoth just sucks, a ton of the new megas can check terrakion, crawdaunt is way too niche, etc.
>>23083239Go argue to push it to S rank then.
