Ursaluna actually handles it very well, tera normal boosts facade but also neuters Chien-Pao's attempts to take it out. That's been my experience anyway.

Finch gets shit because he wanted to ban King's Rock & Kyurem right after he lost to them. I don't even disagree with those bans, but the timing of them was shitty.

That's exactly what those bans came off as, just being salty that he dropped a game.

Torkoal was always in the game. It didn’t arrive in Home, so it was already decided that Torkoal wasn’t a good enough check.
Also
252+ Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Tera Dark Chien-Pao Crunch vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Torkoal: 206-244 (60 - 71.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
So it’s hardly a check anyways.

>Trick Room
Yeah, just fucking sack an entire Pokemon to set up Trick Room and then have fucking Torkoal come in to check it. Assuming Specs with only 252/4 EVs in bulk, is OHKO’d by Sucker Punch + Stealth Rock anyways.
252+ Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Tera Dark Chien-Pao Sucker Punch vs. 248 HP / 4 Def Torkoal: 236-278 (68.8 - 81%) -- 50% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
It’s also still a Pokemon that already existed before Home in Gen 9, where Chien-Pao was banned.
Also also, if your plan is to sack something to set up Trick Room for Torkoal, why the fuck don’t you just use literally any other revenge killer, namely only not weak to Sucker Punch.

Magearna was allowed 2 days in May, and got 9.182% usage. For context, the Pokemon above it in usage was Walking Wake at 9.329%, which accounts for usage for 31 fucking days.

The quickbans are based on community feedback. The players asked them to do this.
In fact, the general reaction is that they were too conservative banning only Magearna.

and what the hell was that "quickUNban" they did to allow these monsters on OU when everyone was shitting on them for allowing them on the first place, or is like they are too cowards towards the faggots who cry over every ban despite the fact that they only play on the broken parts of the season

He's playing in a bunch of pre-HOME tournaments so he hasn't really played the current meta at all. Usually council members aren't allowed to abstain on votes like these but they made an exception for him.
