I'm sorry, we spent how many years with Lando T having an outright majority use rate and loads of 'Mons nowhere near that getting banned?

If we're talking healthiness as measured by prevalence of specific choices, Smogon is still fucking retarded.

Gen I OU teams historically have all had Chansey Snorlax and Tauros.
A lack of diversity in team composition doesn't necessarily mean a lack of diversity in strategy.

>only 4 without minmaxed meme ghost from the past
it's over. TPC officially gave up on balancing anything anymore. expect 800 BST mons in the near future and 150 speed being only viable on trick room teams.

TPC decided this gen is the high power gen after Swsh had the fun meta. Next gen will also be high power since it’s Gen 10. But Gen 11 now there will be a meta…

What's crazy is that Fluttermane isn't even the most used mon here, with only two teams not having an Urshifu.

lol

>>54291808
the powercreep is insane but its better than most of the new mons being worthless gimped shitmons who only exist to make GEWWUN look stronger. Ideally Game Freak would split the difference and buff old shitmons so they can keep up with the nu stuff but that's not how Game Freak works.

what you'll notice if you're actually a serious Pokemon competitor is that almost nobody has a real special wall akin to Blissey (that could also threaten Flutter Mane) on their teams.

Maybe because GameFreak doesn't make them---namely, high SpD mons with few weaknesses and decent offensive capabilities, similar to Snorlax and Galarian-Slowking

It's called the Assault Vest. You can give it to an offensive mon and then have your special wall also be a sweeper.

Charizard was common but not that common and only in restricted meta since outclassed by Venasaur.

We can talk about the tiger in the room all we want but I absolutely fucking loathe this thing. It is so tiresome to see and it will simply not fuck off. The way Spore was distributed was a fucking mistake, Parasect was fine hoarding it because it was the only positive quality about the thing. This fucker has no excuse and neither does Breloom while I'm on the subject

Agree. Also fucking everything is running Tera grass for this and Urshifu and they STILL are used nonstop.

Breloom is slow and frail with common and multiple weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

In Gen III it wasn't even considered an OU level Pokemon and to this day sees comparatively low usage.

OP is VGC
Talking about Breloom in the context of OU where it's neutered by sleep clause (lol) is a joke.

that is true but not entirely relevant to what was stated verbatim, which wasn't necessarily contextualized to vgc
