...That sentence refers to the fact that Mienshao using Acrobactics cannot KO Gourgeist.

Banded Ferro is hardly a gimmick, its just a weird set. Most people don't use it because it involves using Ferro far differently than most people are comfortable with.

No, its not. Curse Ferrothorn has good bulk and surprise value, and can dent entire teams. Id almost argue that its good.

I meant oddball. *facepalm*

But anyway, Banded Ferro is good at denting anything.

This was confirmed a long time ago I'm pretty sure.

I mean really stuff goes to Übers because too OP or "gimmicky", Swagger is neither. The attack Boost is purely meant to be a little investment in the status you're inflicting.

That's not what I mean.

If you ban something for being uncompetitive, its can't just be uncompetitive in one meta. That wouldn't make any sense. If something in uncompetitive, it would be uncompetitive in every generation that it existed. But that's the thing. Gen II, III, and V all had a "unrevenge killable" Swagger. Gen IV did not, and that was the entire basis of their argument. So if you ban "Swagger" because its uncompetitive, you have to ban in Gen IV as well, which runs contradictory to why you want it banned and makes you a hypocrite.

On the contrary, if you ban it only in Gen VI, you aren't banning it because its uncompetitive. You are banning it because its broken, overpowered, overcentralizing, whatever you choose to say. And they insist that its not. So Smogon is making a massive hypocrite of themselves either way.

I'm not gonna miss Swagger at all, it was annoying and in general I don't like to be annoying. But I would have never thought about banning it, and this to me speaks dark things about the direction Smogon is going. Swagger wasn't a problem in Gen II when it first came out. Swagger wasn't a problem in Gen III. Nor Gen IV. Nor Gen V. So if its an issue now, it has nothing to do with uncompetitiveness.

To be honest, I loved trolling those who used Swagger. Especially with a Mamoswine lead holding a Lum Berry.
