BL means blacklist? And in Smogon, I presume.

Ban list. As in usage-wise it's part of UU tier, but it's banned from being used. It's been like that since gen IV

good, always hated that ugly faggot
but it's extremely good on mono normal teams for having intimidate, recovery, and being neutral to fighting

I don't know, 100 is actually good speed right now, and it hits really hard with Reckless. It also gets Final Gambit and without Chansey around to fuck that up Final Gambit 1-shots most of the tier. And its Brave Bird hits hard enough that Toxapex and Ferrothorn need to invest in max defense to be able to switch in. I could see it going on some kind of Birdspam team with Hawlucha and Togekiss. I think it would actually be OU right now by usage, bro, i think it would be a legit good pokemon.

There is no way it's still too good for UU after a fucking decade of powercreep.

This guy is fun to use in game at least. Kind of frail, but just used him in the Volt White hack and his intimidate, brave bird, close combat moveset made him a beast.

he's always been good on birdspam teams, but that one strat never got him enough usage to get out
maybe it would have been different this time, but I think it's always been a usage shortcoming

I don;t do Natdex. What happened to make them bad enough to drop? What the hell is going on with Natdex?

Was already not very good in the end of USUM. It’s just got even more problems now

Can't touch corv or aegislash for shit though, and they're everywhere. It'd be decent but I don't know if it'd stay OU past the first month or two.

My favorite Pidgey-line clone ever. Close Combat never looked so silly on a bird.

>>43704294
It's UUBL = underused banlist, so it's banned from UU usage but allowed in higher tiers.

You could Final Gambit on Corv after a little bit of chip, provided Staraptor is at or near full health.

Staraptor will never go below UUBL because it has too much offense and it makes the UU council quiver in fear.

daily reminder that showdown does not have an option to use the updated bw2 sprites(most obvious are paras and groudon, seriously go onto bulbapedo's pages for paras and groudon and compare bw sprites with the ones from bw2)

It's not really a hell. Staraptor is decent in OU, but outclassed. You could still use it to good effect if you wanted to, though.

>Mew
Not only did it gain spikes, it also got cosmic power so now Stored Power goes extremely stupid (probably the reason it got banned in NDUU)
>Deoxys-D
Mew got spikes so it has real competition, not only that but stall and overly defensive teams (the shit Deoxys-D fit in like a glove) are hard to pull off with the meta having humongous wallbreakers
>Megapinsir
UUBL since gen 6 because it's a really nice sweeper, but OU's walls can hinder the dude and Mega-Metagross is a thing and this dude outclasses every single mega evolution besides Lopunny and arguably Medicham
>Mega zards
Mega-Metagross, and Torkoal is unironically the better sun setter

Mega

Metagross
There's zero incentive to use any other mega in NatDex because Mega Metagross is that good, the only exception would be Mega-Lopunny getting blessed by Scrappy buffs.
