Shit that I think is broken:
Lati@s: Fuck this thing. A “counter” will take 35% - 50% damage minimum, and thats if you’re a steel type (or Blissey/Chansey). On top of this it can have a move for everything that would switch in(HP Fire, Surf, Trick, Psycho Shock) You can also run both Lati twins with Magnezone and rip teams a new asshole. We saw how centralized Latias made OU in Gen 4 so lets just send it to Ubers where it belongs.
It's pursuit weakness weakens it greatly. What makes you nominate Latios rather than also sazandora, who while mostly outclassed by latios, is only a little slower but the same in almost every way with a few advantages (flamethrower, and most importantly, no pursuit weak, which is latios's greatest, crippling, weakness).
Rankurusu/Reinculus: Lets be honest the Trick Room set is annoying but it’s not really broken, the real culprit is the Calm Mind set. Any random Psychic type with Roar/Perish Song isn’t a counter. You’re just stalling until he’s the last man alive or you run out of Perish Song’s 8 pp. So effectively this set has three, yes THREE counters (Spiritomb, CB Scizor, and Shubarugo). Spiritomb sucks ass for any team but sadly stall is forced to use it as its “bulky” ghost, and only a retard would run Scizor and Shubarugo on the same team. He will take out at the VERY least 1 pokemon on any given team without those said counters. Ban it or ban Magic Guard so it can take hazard damage, I don’t give a fuck.
CM Roar Latias, CB Tar, Unaware quagsire, just pounding it on the special side before it can get a CM or two up. It's also very encore-weak, due to it's very low speed. There are also counters that I probably missed, and more in dreamworld.
Landlos: I don’t care if there was a glitch that made Sand Power a 1.5 boost instead of 1.3, this shit is still overpowered as shit. It can 2HKO the premier physical wall of OU, Hippowdon, with an Earthquake by holding a Life Orb. No other physical sweeper can do that in OU with a NEUTRAL physical attack. To make matters worse it’s already pretty fast at a trollish 101 base speed, but if you decide that you need to outspeed some other broken motherfucker just Rock Polish up. Gliscor shouldn’t even be listed as a counter anymore since every set runs HP Ice now coming from 115 base power. Did I mention this thing learns Swords Dance? Great, now all thos 2HKO’s are OHKO’s. Seriously, I’m sick and fucking tired of running HP Ice Bronzong on every team I make just to deal with this.
Then run specs latios with surf, or anything that outspeeds it and can take a hit if it decides to rockpolish rather than swords dance/attack. CB Mamoswine might be a good choice as well, if you're having so much landlos trouble. This is the most debatable one, but he's severely limited by the four-moveslot syndrome.
Doryuzuu: Think Landlos but this time give it a free Rock Polish for shits and giggles. It doesnt’t have to worry about one of it’s weaknesses since it always holds balloon in turn negating all entry hazard damage (3% damage might as well be free) making it a great revenge killer. Sure it’s not getting past Gliscor without a few Rock Slide flinches (and it always flinches) but you probably took out Gliscor by using the previous broken ‘mon (or dumbass Mixtar). Dory also makes stall teams impossible to play with, everytime they have their hazards down just show them a big fat middle finger by using Rapid Spin. No stall team in their right mind is going to switch in Spirtomb at the risk of taking a STAB Earthquake to the face. Before some dumbass says “Dory doesn’t sweep teams anymore, durrr..” I agree. Everyone and their mother carries 1 counter and a check at the very least. You just can’t make a team anymore without having Doryuzzu in mind, but by banning it the metagame will be much more diverse and fun (think of how grass type usage rose when Salamence was banned).
Skarmory, Gliscor, Conkledurr, reuiniclus, other weather. Most offensive teams have weather, and most stall teams have at least gliscor (who is an awesome wall this gen). Cokeldurr, and Reinculus are just very good pokemon who fit well in many teams, and one of which will probably be seen on most non-weather offensive teams. It's not a matter of the fact Doryuuzu exists that every team is running multiple checks, it's the fact its checks are so damn good. Also thanks to no LO, a lot of bulky attackers can take a hit and strike back. Without balloon, a lot of EQ using walls get to nail him, like hippowdon.
Voltlos: This one might be new but I honestly think its broken. Base 111 Speed makes it the king of the troll speed tiers and nothing common in OU is faster (bar scarfs/ Dory). It can also Nasty Plot to take its already amazing Sp.Atk to unholy levels. Taunt is a common site to stop things like Chansey/Blissey/Phazers. Only two moves are needed as attacks since anything that resists / is immune to thunderbolt wont like a +2 Focus Blast to the face (Gliscor takes over 70% and can’t do shit back). If that isn’t enough it can run a different setto just flat out annoy and cripple your whole team with Mischevous Heart paralyzing your sweepers, and toxicing/taunting your walls.
Blissey runs Ice Beam commonly, which I imagine he won't like. And while he does have 111 speed, he has no way of boosting it. MH paralysis is annoying, but there are those who are immune and outspeed, such as dory in SS. While he does have sweeping potential (and I have 6-0'd poorly built teams with him as a lead), he's not that hard to stop. Scarftar, Latias (this one can take tbolt+focus blast), unaware quagsire (if no grass knot) , a lot of scarfed things. Remember, nasty plot is a free switch in if he's not also running twave, but that severealy restricts his attacking movepool.
Shit that might be broken but not sure yet due to the REALLY broken shit
Garchomp: Guess what, it still has Sword Dance. It still is immune to Thunder Wave. Most imortantly it still has Outrage, which still hurts like a motherfucker at +2 even when resisted. If the Lati twins get banned this thing better go right along with it since they are the most common check. One more thing, fuck sand veil.
Latis keep in check fairly well, along with Voltolos, the new 108's, and scarf Sazandora. Skarm still walls all moves other than fire fang/blast, and the other dragons still get a free switch in on fire fang/blast.
Salamence: Is it Dragon Dance, or is it Mix? If it’s mix what move will it use? Sound familiar....anyway both of the other broken dragons keep him in check but it’d be nice for the metagame to have them all gone.
Poor speed for this gen, outspeed by a lot of the new mons. Very threatening if it gets in though, but with new walls it's not that threatening.
Wobbufett: The only reason he’s not used more is because all the other broken shit just flat out KO him, but take them away and we have something that nabs you a free kill/setup and discourages any choice item.
Theorymon. Don't assume something will be broken once something else is banned. This is what led to alot of sun/sand nominations another round.
Now go ahead and pick this post apart/call me a stupid troll.
