You are omitting the most important sentence from the second paragraph that alludes to that. Sentiment around Arch being a problem was very low outside of a few top players until its test happened, as illustrated by its poor survey scores. But afterwords, we did see people coalesce around...

Honestly, I doubt *anything* right now would be able to hit 60% in a suspect test. I feel like we see at least one ban discussion every week which goes through the same framework. That isn't a bad thing, but I doubt Volcarona, Ogerpon, Kingambit, Gholdengo, or what have you would hit a 60% ban...

What is your Top 5? :great_tusk: :kingambit: :Zamazenta: :landorus therian: :dragapult: Not ordered btw. Tusk and Lando are insane glue mons for different reasons. Tusk checks Gambit, can knock off or wallbreak on its own, and spin. Lando T still gets a ton of momentum and the combo of rocky...

Honestly to build off this, I genuinely think that unbanning Zamazenta Crowned would be a closer vote than any suspect we do right now. Is it a good idea to even test it? Probs not, but I think it kind of shows how awkward testing is in the tier right now. People broadly are unhappy with the...

It is… acceptable. Good choice. Not my top choice, but a good one. I will not vote DNB out of protest for the aux cord now. FR tho, can’t wait to try and get this out of the tier. Busted mon.

In terms of productive discussion, Gouging Fire is getting its test next week. I think we should discuss how dumb it is, but let's also disucss someting even more important: the suspect song. There are so many good fire based songs that I will dedicate time to listing them. Firework - Katy...

:roaring moon: 4 :gouging fire: 4 These two are the biggest priorities in my opinion. A lot of the issues people have with the tier could be traced to these two. Gouging Fire for instance has helped constrain teams to such an extent that it is close to impossible to counter. DD sets with...

My guess for the survey mons :kingambit: :roaring moon: :raging bolt: :gouging fire: :gholdengo: :volcarona: :dragapult: :ogerpon wellspring: :zamazenta: I'll just say I would only give Roaring Moon a 4 right now. I am debating on whether I would give Gouging Fire a 4, but I do not think it is...

I have been saying this for weeks now. It would at worst be a good containment for a lot of the unban discussion. I think that only one Ubers mon has a remote case for an unban right now, and even then I think that unbanning it right now is an objectively bad idea. It would be a nice way to stop...

Gonna build on the unbanning as a band aid train for a sec. Before I begin, I would say this would not be my ideal course of action. Its incredibly risky to pursue for one and risks not "fixing" any of our current issues. I would look to how Kyurem Black was unbanned its first time. Now...

Honestly, I think the biggest reason we have had many close tests is the result of what was tested and quickbanned, not the fault of the community or council. While SV OU has had plenty of bans, most of these are quickbans. I will stress this imo is a good thing before I dig deeper. Would...

Oh i know, I just wanted a Bon Jovi suspect song. Its like how if (keyword if) we suspected Raging Bolt, I would go with Thunder Road as the song for the boss. Suspect Songs for sh*ts and giggles (I would only test a certain piece of infrastructure rn) :archaludon: Shot Through the Heart - Bon...

Please let the Archaludon suspect test song be “Shot through the Heart” finch I’m begging you. I’m still not over Bad Moon Rising not being used for either moon based Mon test :psycry:

Here are a few reasons, take your pick It was the highest rated pokemon on the survey sent out for who to suspect It was a highly rated pokemon on the last survey with several high ranking players ushering for it to be tackled sooner rather than later It is a highly polarizing and centralizing...

Gliscor. Kyurem is back breaking for balance and without him around, Gliscor can flex its muscles even more.
