Because GF never cared about balance in the first place
And why would they need too? their target is kids who are "too busy with their smartphones", why put effort into higher level play?

Because you can’t use Zacian and Zamazenta in official comp the vast majority of the time so their power creep doesn’t apply as badly

What the fanfic meta gets up to is none of GF’s business.

They can't fix the problems without intensely nerfing them. Thing is, they don't really care about competitive battling. >>45247698 The games are made for the casuals and every gen there needs to be something "better" and "stronger" than the previous gen.

There isn't a Natdex Ubers format though, just Natdex AG. I'd love a Natdex Ubers without Mega Ray and Zacian though. Ban Calyrex Shadow as well. Alternatively just ban Ditto. The thing instawins if you let it copy your Zacian or Calyrex.

Mega Fug doesn’t.

Mega Ray is still beyond broken because it can use any item it wants while keeping its "Fuck You"-tier stats.

Not even.
Shadow Rider is as frail as wet toilet paper and has 2 quad-weaknesses. It's minmaxed toward offense only, but that means it can't switch in for shit.
Zacian has the best defensive type in the game and 92/115/115 bulk, which is really good for a primarily offensive mon. It's good all-around.

>Being angry GF doesn't put extra effort into an extremely autistic version of chess

The best thing GF could ever do is figure out better methods of play for online. The current battle system is so incredibly niche (and bad) that VGC events are less relevant than TCG events despite 18 million copies of SWSH being being sold. Pokemon PvP simply isn't worth the time investment for players or the company.

Nigga what? Shadow Rider is literally a polarizing pokemon in Uber right now. It's one and only counter is Yvetal and even then, it can deal with it surprising. I have seen this thing destroy teams even with Yvetal. It's a monster in it's own land. Seriously, Gamefreak have lost their mind. Zacian-Crowned, Mega Ray, and Shadow Rider all need to leave this game forever.

There's going to be at least an entire year where they're allowed, going by previous gens' precedent.

Am I wrong?
In gen 7, the Z move button and mega button were in the same place, but they were mutually exclusive because each required an item.

Yeah it does, it just doesn't need an item.
You're thinking of the Primals, which need an item but not a button.

Mega fug didn't need a button either you just picked the attack that caused him to turn mega and he would before attacking, they were probably experimenting mega evolution without an item by then, this is why i believe there will be a new season pass with the rest of the Pokémon and gimmicks when they finally make their head around how to implement them now

Because y'know, pursuit no longer exists. Besides it could set up it's own psychic terrain to stop priority. It's going to be suspect tested in Ubers and it's going to get banned to AG. You heard it here first.
