I personally feel Garchomp should stay OU. The voters on Smogon didn't have to submit a reason along with their vote so I'm not 100% sure why Garchomp was so ban worthy. If it's Sand Veil, wouldn't that be a better choice to ban rather than the Pokemon? 102 speed isn't a problem with so many fast Pokemon available, especially considering Latios is just as strong and faster. Bulk might be it, but I'd much rather uses Dragonite and Salamence's ability coupled with roost if I wanted a bulky dragon. The strongest of these points seems to be Sand Veil. So, I don't see why they just ban the ability instead of the Pokemon.
Same with Blaziken. Just his DW ability should be banned. Not the Pokemon.
So, what are your thoughts on this?reachzero said:I nearly forgot that DetroitLolcat PMed me his vote! Here are the contents of the PM:
This vote seals the fate of Thundurus, and thus every Suspect has been resolved.I will probably not be active for the Pokemon part of the Round 4 Vote and you said I could PM my vote to you, so I vote Do Not Ban on every Suspect regardless of condition. Thank you.
The final vote for Garchomp is 55-17 Ban; this exceeds the 2/3+1 supermajority, and thus Garchomp will henceforth be banned from OU play.
The final vote for Thundurus is 46-26 Ban; this is short of the 2/3+1 supermajority, so Thundurus will automatically be a Suspect next period, and could be banned with another simple majority vote.
The final vote for Latios is 27-45 Do Not Ban; Latios is thus completely OU.
The final vote for Deoxys-e is 23-51 Do Not Ban; Deoxys-e is thus completely OU.
The final vote for Excadrill is 17-57 Do Not Ban; Excadrill is thus completely OU.
This concludes round four of the OU Suspect process!
