You're absolutely right, I forgot about Smeargle. I agree that a ban on the actual form would be perfectly fine and not complex - banning Complete Forme Zygarde itself causes no issues. Though, if that's the case, I don't see why we couldn't also just ban Blade Forme Aegislash as well instead...

Then I still wonder how that would be different from banning something like Pure Power on Meditite. In LC, Pure Power effectively acts as a +100-120 BST boost to Meditite, just like Mega Stones and Power Construct. For all real intents and purposes, Pure Power on Meditite acts like an...

It's much less about who cares about it or who's affected by it, and much more about the philosophy behind bans. Abilities (and Moves) have been banned when the actual Ability itself is overpowered or uncompetitive, not in how it interacts with certain Pokemon. Moody and Shadow Tag (and...

It's not just like banning Moody or Shadow Tag though. Those abilities were either overpowered or uncompetitive regardless of who used them. A Bibarel can still sweep through Ubers with Moody. Power Construct isn't an overpowered or uncompetitive ability though. If a Bibarel got Power...

You're right, most mons wouldn't really want to. Offensive Z-Moves These are mainly going to be used only to lure in specific threats and one-shot them. At most, a regular Z-Move will give a 2x damage boost. When you compare it to LO or Band over a few turns, it loses effectiveness fast. And...

I don't know if that's actually worth it. 252 Atk Jolly Lum Dugtrio actually runs a huge (~68%) risk of missing the 2HKO thanks to Baneful Bunker letting Toxapex recover HP via Black Sludge, which he can do twice. Turn 0: Whatever/Baneful Bunker (not useful in our calculation, but it lets him...

Has no one tried Pancham yet? He alone gets access to Z-Parting Shot, which is probably the most ridiculous Z-Move this side of Extreme Evoboost. Slow switch, lowering both of the opponent's offensive stats, and 100% healing for the replacement, without Self-KOing? Pancham @ Darknium Z Level: 5...

Z-Flash, Z-Smokescreen, Z-Sand Attack: +1 Evasion (User), -1 Accuracy (Target) I kind of wonder how these are going to be handled, and whether they'll be left alone or Complex Banned almost immediately. It does take your only Z-Crystal to run them, when you could be using something like...
