The current meta is very weird in my opinion, after the sleep clause suspect test the thing i see the most is TR with amoongus, also some tother thing i've been noticing is that people have been bithcing about mkang "omg so op pls ban", but i dont thik that we need to run a suspect test on him, if we do that we would have to do it for all the S-Rank threats.
But yes, if we did a suspect test on kanga i feel like most people would vote to ban it, which is pretty obvious, since many people on the ladder are unprepared for it, like most pokemon, MKang is a threat and you should check/counter it, we cant ban a mon just because your team isnt ready for it. what you need to do is get your team building skills worked on, change up your team, and predict more, not bitch about it. My team was very weak to TerraCott, but i dont bitch about it everywhere "omg pls ban Cott so op i'm too weak to it", then all that i had to do is add a simple Aegislash that only helped my team you should do the same when it comes to mega kanga, add a Lando-T or Aegislash or something, sometimes you'll see that it only makes your team better.
I think that we dont need to suspect test anything at the moment, the meta is lacking that OP thing that everyone bitches about that's actually a reasonable "bitch". If we are going to suspect test something, make it Perish Trap, it's very gimmicky and stuff, and sometimes your team just cant deal with it, I dont think there are enough decent arguments that support banning Perish Trap, but still, thats just me.
Blank already covered the issue with the "just prepare for it" argument, so I won't go into that. However, I do want to go into what separates MKang from all the other S-rank pokemon. Each of the other ones have a glaring weakness to them; Charizard can not handle rocks, and is hard countered by Heatran, Tyranitar and quite a few other common threats. Tyranitar, much like Mkang, is absolutely punished by fighting types, but on top of that, it gets eaten by ground, steel, water, fairy and grass. Cresselia has issues with dark, bug and ghost. Kanga has 1 weakness, fighting, and that is very easy one to get around on top of that. It's so incredibly easy, I'd even say effortless, to build with Kanga, because you only have to specifically address 1 issue. And even then, it can handle that weakness relatively easily on it's own:
+1 252+ Atk Mega Kangaskhan Return vs 252 HP / 0 Def Conkeldurr: 418-492 guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Mega Kangaskhan Return vs 0 HP / 0 Def Keldeo: 292-343 (90.4-106.1%) 37.5% chance to OHKO
meanwhile,
252 SpA Life Orb Keldeo Secret Sword vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Kangaskhan: 361-429 (87.1 - 103.6%) 18.8% chance to OHKO
252 Atk Infernape Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Kangaskhan: 338-398 (81.6 - 96.1%) guaranteed 2HKO: Standard Infernape can not OHKO this fucking thing, but get's OHKO'd in exchange
-1 252+ Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Return vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Landorus-T: 195-231 (51 - 60.4%) -- 89.8% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
For the record, even without being at +1, it does 67.3-79.7% against Standard Conk, which is quite possible the bulkiest counter it has. That sheer power of it's stab attacks, it's bulk, how easy it is for it boost its attack, all make it so that maybe 4-5 pokemon can actually handle it. Outside of its counters, it straight up OHKO's non-bulky pokemon, that take neutral Returns:
252+ Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Return vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Kingdra: 279-330 (95.8 - 113.4%) -- 75% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Return vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Talonflame: 355-418 (119.1 - 140.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Return vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Gardevoir: 379-447 (136.3 - 160.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Return vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Charizard Y: 328-387 (110 - 129.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
No other pokemon in the tier, except for maybe Deo-A, has the capacity to just murderfuck things to this degree. And Deo-A is good for maybe 1-2 KO's at best, since it's so damn fragile, on the other hand, Kanga has bulk, and quite a bit of it too. Some other calcs, just to show how easy it can take things on that resist Return:
252+ Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Power-Up Punch vs. 32 HP / 0 Def Bisharp: 282-336 (101 - 120.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Power-Up Punch vs. 252 HP / 6 Def Bisharp: 282-336 (84.4 - 100.5%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Power-Up Punch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar: 264-312 (65.3 - 77.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Even bulky pokemon are susceptible to it's PuP boosted attacks:
+2 252+ Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Cresselia: 339-400 (76.3 - 90%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery (Assuming you power-up punched the turn prior)
And sometimes, it doesn't even need to boost:
252+ Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Return vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Rotom-W: 253-298 (83.2 - 98%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
So yes, this shit right here is why it's different from other S rank pokemon. It's not so much a matter of preparing for it, so much as a matter of containing its Godzilla in Tokyo-eque murder rampage. Sorry for the essay, but ya'll ready know how much I hate the damn thing.
