    And this is the same guy who keeps sending me PMs on Mugen Database asking to repeal his "unjust" chatban from 3 months ago, even after Alexei told him no. For the record, his final ban was for something he was previously banned for. So much for "unjust"
  3. Its not so much that its broken, it was just up there in usage. Remember, the banlist for this "tier" is based on usage, just like UU and all lower tiers, and not necessarily on brokenness. More theorymonning; Palkia lost a lot of usage in Ubers due to the fact that Kyogre isn't as much as a prevalent threat as it once was, and even though Primal Kyogre still sees a ton of usage, Palkia now had to contend with Latios and Latias for the role of Kyogre check. With Latios and Latias banned from UUbers, Palkia stands as one of two base 680 Pokemon allowed in UUbers, the other being Reshiram. Sporting a solid base 100 speed and 150 base Sp.Attack, it should stand as no surprise that Palkia is a threat. With a decent Water/Dragon typing that grants it a plethora of resistances, Palkia can easily stand as a bulky wallbreaker. Not much can stand in its path, with Ferrothorn gone, the only solid check is Azumarill, who still falls to Thunderbolt. However, it has issues getting past Chansey. Notable moves: Hydro Pump, Spacial Rend, Draco Meteor, Fire Blast, Aura Sphere, Focus Blast, Dragon Tail, Earth Power, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, Toxic It's been a long time since OU last saw Mega Lucario. Mega Lucario was banned not only due to its sheer power, but its unpredictability, making it a surefire sweeper or wallbreaker depending on the team's needs. At the time of its ban, it dwarfed the 100 speed benchmark. However, new threats of 110 base speed introduced in ORAS have raised the bar. While Mega Lucario still outspeeds them by 2 base points, it still poses a significant threat to UUbers due to the sheer power of Adaptability Close Combat and dual 145/140 offense stats, allowing it to punish even those that resist its moves. When it comes to UUbers, there isn't anything new added to the tier that can safely tank its moves. The only significant new threat that can take a hit from Mega Luke may very well be Mega Slowbro, as not even a +2 Crunch can 2HKO 100% of the time, but falls victim to the special set's +2 Dark Pulse. Will Mega Lucario come out on top as UUber's premier threat, or will it find its way back to Ubers? Notable moves: Close Combat, Aura Sphere, Iron Tail, Flash Cannon, Bullet Punch, Vaccuum Wave, Extreme Speed, Crunch, Ice Punch, Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball, Swords Dance, Nasty Plot Greninja wasn't banned from OU until the early days of ORAS, and two moves were responsible for its ban; Gunk Shot and Low Kick. What was once a great Pokemon walled by Fairy types and Black Kyurem suddenly became the most dangerous Pokemon in OU with no switch ins, and the ability to punish switch ins with its Spikes set didn't help matters either. What Greninja lacks in raw base stats outside of speed, it more than makes up for in Protean, giving it STAB on all of its moves. Now that Greninja has been allowed in UUbers, will it terrorize UUbers just as it did OU? Notable moves: Hydro Pump, Dark Pulse, Ice Beam, Gunk Shot, Low Kick, Hidden Power [Fire], Hidden Power [Grass], Grass Knot, Spikes, Toxic Spikes Though Mega Charizard Y has always been consistently OU, it always had to deal with Latios, Latias, Tyranitar, and Chansey to check it. With the most recent tier shift, only one of those four Pokemon is still UUbers legal, giving Mega Charizard Y a huge amount of leeway. Or at least it would seem that way, if Reshiram and Palkia weren't around. For reference, Mega Charizard Y fails to 2HKO Palkia with any of its moves, while a Choice Specs Palkia OHKOs with Draco Meteor. Mega Charizard Y isn't a safe switch either, as Specs Palkia can still OHKO with Hydro Pump, rain or shine. Notable moves: Fire Blast, Solar Beam, Focus Blast, Roost, Will-o-Wisp Landorus-Incarnate recently made headlines in OU for being banned for the second generation in a row. Aside from being the most notable user of Sheer Force + Life Orb, which grants a x1.67 boost to any move with a secondary effect while having no recoil, Landorus-I's movepool was wide enough where it can easily adapt to any of its threats. But OU exists in another world, and Lando-I was spared this fate in UUbers. With new powerful wallbreakers such as Reshiram, Palkia, and Mega Lucario being present, will Lando-I carve a niche to continue to stand out as it did in OU prior to its ban? Notable moves: Earth Power, Sludge Wave, Focus Blast, Psychic, Knock Off, Rock Slide, Rock Polish, Hidden Power [ice], Calm Mind
  4. So in an effort to bring some more life and for purposes of quality control, I decided to implement the following changes; Initial banlist will now be based on March, April, and May's usage stats in the ratio of 1/24, 1/8, and 5/6, respectively. Usage statistics will now be based on the upper Ubers ladder (1760 stats) instead of the 1630 stats That being said, the banlist for Singles UUbers now includes the following: The following Pokemon now allowed in Singles UUbers: The following Pokemon are now banned from Singles UUbers:
  5. Forum software limitations, otherwise I would have
  6. ffffff.... and I done goofed. The rules stated that multiple votes would be allowed, so I went and changed that. Anyone who wishes to submit more votes can do so by clicking "delete my vote" and then submitting it again.
  7. Technically it does, but it doesn't allow you to set a limit to the number of options you can vote for, otherwise I would have set it to 2.
