Buddy, now you are just repeating yourself. It has been addressed numerous times now that just because garchomp makes for an excellent glue mon and is splashable on many teams does not warrant it S rank or is comparable with other S rank mons in terms of being meta defining. A mon is not meta...

Garchomp is definitely amazing with its splashability and versatility and how efficiently it can fulfill it's given roles, great suicide lead on HO, can act as decent revenge killer with scarf,capability of running a tank set with tankchomp being its best set atm for defensive/balanced/bulky...

I respect your opinion upon the matter though I am perplexed by some of your reasoning. Firstly, the rock polish set is not the only thing landorus has over the other wallbreakers. It also maintains more resilience by not being prone to being worn down by hazards or life orb recoil while also...

I have to agree that mega lopunny is not quite S rank material. We all know how amazing it is, sitting in an excellent speed tier, being versatile enough to the point where some sets like Pup or encore can mess with defensive answers, or use baton pass + sub to pass boosts to wallbreakers, or...

I don't find this idea that landorus relying so much on life orb makes a strong argument towards it being healthy in the metagame. I recall this argument being similarly made during the greninja suspect (greninja relies on life orb and gets worn down in the process, therefore it is certainly...

This is a non-sequitur. How is stall becoming more diverse leading to matchup dependent games? If anything, diversity in teambuilding is inversely proportional to overcentralization. Your argument here, if anything, speaks to landorus-I's overcentralization in the metagame. We shouldn't ban...

I am dubious as to whether crawdaunt should stay at B and I think it should drop, probably to B-. Like other wallbreakers, crawdaunt does have an excellent matchup with defensive teams but against offensive and even balanced to an extent it struggles more. It's poor matchup against offense is...

In other words rather than saying usage= viability, you state that usage is one of the strongest indicators of viability. Excuse me for my ignorance, but how are these statements in any way different or even relevant to your argument made here? Also, can you please explain how usage has any...

Your argument that the knock off, cm, and rock slide variants are not nearly as significant as rp (rp is certainly not landorus' s only viable or even main set) was based on the usage of said move. You essentially argued in previous statements that the usage of a set equates to viability of a...

My main point was that lando-i isnt as deadweight against offense as people are making it out to be. I will concede that I may have hyperbolized my statement though I never said that it could take some of the most powerful neutral hits in the metagame(which a few of the calcs shown it has quite...

I don't recall any mon to have been ever banned for the sole reason of lacking efficient checks or counters (though this is still something to note when discussing a mon like lando-I). For nearly all suspects, attention is strictly paid to its presence and influence on the meta game as a whole...

One thing that I've heard mentioned from the anti-ban side besides the usual "lando-I is like any other powerful wall breaker like manaphy or kyu-B and we have enough checks to keep it in bay"(it's too bad that the checks, besides being shaky at best, are either pursuit bait or can be worn down...

This may very well be a stretch but I want to nominate Alakazam from B+ --> A-. I was hesitant to do this especially since Alakazam was previously nominated for B+ not long ago, but I find Alakazam comparable to other A- mons in some of the ways it has recently been influencing the metagame as...

I think i see what you are saying. That gorebyss is solid as an overall shell smash cleaner/passer rather than a passer on a pure baton pass team or in general due to better special attacking power that allows it to fare say decently against opposing haze users, etc. However, again I don't find...

My main qualm was mainly my confusion with why cacturne should go down on the basis that it does not gain any switch in opportunities when if anything, it gained more other than ofc losing seismitoad. With magneton not only being as centralizing as it is and a lot of its checks for the most part...

I think he makes a good point that cacturne gets more switch in opportunities than what meets the eye especially with recent shift. Of course competent players will do well not to let cacturne make many exploits and i do agree that its frailty is a problem along with the fact that there are a...
