Ironically enough if Iron Bundle only got access to one of the weaker water moves like Surf or Muddy Water it'd be even more powerful. Hydro pump's low accuracy is the only balancing factor that mon has

[mikubrot]

regieleki really living up to its speed stat with how fast it was banned lmao

[trains]

I think that is quite funny the generation which more dragon types have been banned than ever before is The generation where they can get rid of their dragon typing 😂😂😂😂

[virtualcolt]

This is the part where we realize paradox Pokemon where an even bigger mistake than Ultra Beasts and Z moves combined. I want my Kartana and Naganadel back.

Still surprised to this very day that Sneasler lasted as long as it did.
How is a mon with Unburden + Acrobatics + 130 attack + 120 speed ever considered to be balanced for so long?
Mon is Hawhucha on maximum steroids and caused Rillaboom usage to be at 3000%.

For a Pokémon running 55/55/135, Flutter Mane is surprisingly bulky.
Thanks for the correction

Tera really made most of these Pokémon impossible to counter

[CuddlyTheMadElite]

GameFreak saw Spectrier and said "what if we made it faster, gave it part Fairy, made it stronger with Moonblast, having actual usable coverage, and also a weather ability that lets it be faster or stronger and can be activated by an item?"

[clothieredward]

A lot of the Pokemon that got banned either were simply not designed for OU's power level (like Flutter Mane and Chien Pao) while others had some insanely broken attributes (like Annihilape and Baxcalibur).
In other words, Game Freak has been utterly insane in the types of Pokemon they rolled out this generation. Gen 9 is THE power creep generation and there's no sugarcoating it whatsoever.

[manchovieclemmons]

All of these banned pokemon feel totally fine to play against in VGC. Thats probably what they were designed for. Even fluttermane, while strong, doesnt feel insurmountable when you have 2 potential attackers.

[zilla_chicken]

The fact that I see Baxcalibur as Godzilla. This makes it so ironic since both are overpowered.

[MudkipMaster]

Showing in this video that there were a total of (in the moment i’m making this comment) 19 banned Pokémon from OU in gen 9 just shows how the power creep has increased so much in this generation, even some old mons that in other generations were allowed in OU had been banned in this gen because of also the new gimmick of tera, just like volcarona that got banned one time, returned to OU and got banned again.

[FirstLastname]

Tapu Koko is one of my favorite pokemon but thank god it wasn’t let loose in OU. The future paradox mons would be much more broken if they didn’t have to rely on pincurchin to set up electric terrain

[latrodectusmactans]

The large number of bans seems to be tied to Tera as a mechanic. While stuff like Fluttermane is obviously too strong, Pokemon like Gouging Fire could be handled without Tera.

That’s not to say Tera needs to be banned, but keeping it has obvious costs.

[MystirTemis]

Sad to see Gay Porn being banned from Gen 9 OU

[crmarcus]

This generation is bizarre and marked by how many Pokémon can use 1 turn to become an unstoppable sweeper. It would likely be much more manageable without Tera or if Tera types were at least visible on team preview. Tera is a CONSTANT 50/50 mind game that could easily lose you (or win you) the game.

[bananaspice]

Hey it's like there's a central mechanic that makes these Pokémon overpowered! I wonder what it is though?

[laythalsibai]

If Tera was never allowed this 17 minute video would be a YouTube short. I feel like if the source of limiting what Pokémon you can use in the name of a mechanic that can make any Pokémon uncompetitive due to making those Pokémon too diverse in sets and different counters, then I think a single ban on Tera would be more beneficial then banning so many mons that can check the king gambit and great tusk centric meta game. And king gambit would finally have to confront that quad fighting weakness instead of removing it in the end game to win.

[heaven]

Regieleki being banned before they even knew its ability was nerfed will never not be funny to me. They didn't even try to wait a little.

[mandalorianhunter]

Reshiram getting outclassed again by another legendary is just sad. Yes I'm counting the paradox legendaries as legendaries.

Let's see if Palafin and Annihilape will come back down .
