Of course that's your contention. You're a scarlet/violet hyper offense player. You just finished watching temp6t sweep a legendary spammer with a lechonk and are convinced that the smogon council primarily bans offensive mons...

Seems like in a good game there would be 218 viable pokemon then. It's very clear there are balance issues in the format and the game if you want to look at it seriously instead of knowing what you want your opinion to be already

Been surprised by how much I've enjoyed terestalization this gen, but I think we're gonna reach a point where we have to choose to either a) keep it and ban an extra 5-10 pokemon who'd be fine otherwise (like espartha, garg, or volc) or b) ban it and let everyone be in the tier

Not a new idea, but it's still so interesting how power creep this generation isn't just limited to new pokemon (4 SV mons in the top 5!)
But also in affecting previous mons with terestalization! Gotta be the highest dnite and hatt have been in OU in a minute
OU continues to chug on, even if the new additions haven't had time to make a mark just yet!

-drastically underestimated the toxic effect that skarm/bliss has on team construction in early metagames? Not only does the team wall all the major threats of the metagame, each teammate provides support that forwards the primary goal of stall?

I don't think he's even top 30 in spider-man's rogue gallery. maybe not top 50!
Every day I'm reminded 95% of Spider-Man fans have essentially never touched the comics which is so interesting to me.

The way I see it, a pokemon's movepool is as much a part of them as their stats, typing, or abilities. just look at scizor before/after DPP
If a pokemon can be considered broken because it's stats are too big or its ability is bonkers, why not it's movepool like cyclizar?
urshifu isn't broken, wicked blow is! Dracovish isn't broken, fishious rend is! Volcarona isn't broken, quiver dance is! Victini isn't broken, v-create is! Melmetal isn't broken, double iron bash is! Slowbro isn't broken, teleport is! Zygarde isn't broken, thousand arro-
