So, Smogon just officially banned Mega Lucario and Genesect in their X/Y set of battling rules. Thoughts? I am personally against this... well maybe not Genesect but Mega Lucario. Mega Lucario is a frail mega. Yes, it's strong but it can be countered by a pretty much any fire type.

I'm not sure if many fire types care when Mega Lucario has base-140 SpA plus a Calm Mind plus Aura Sphere.

Can we move this thread to the correct section, please? (http://superskarmory.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?22-Competitive-and-Online-Play)

Oh, really? The problem's that no fire-type can counter both of its sets. Also, special attacking Lucario would rather use Nasty Plot, as it has crappy defenses even with a calm mind boost.

+1 252+ SpA Adaptability Mega Lucario Aura Sphere vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Mega Charizard X: 348-410 (116.7 - 137.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252 Atk Adaptability Mega Lucario Close Combat vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Ninetales: 718-846 (249.3 - 293.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252+ SpA Adaptability Mega Lucario Aura Sphere vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Ninetales: 404-476 (115.4 - 136%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252 Atk Adaptability Mega Lucario Close Combat vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Charizard Y: 348-410 (116.7 - 137.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252 Atk Adaptability Mega Lucario Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Victini: 283-334 (82.9 - 97.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock

+2 252+ Atk Adaptability Mega Lucario Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Groudon: 352-416 (87.1 - 102.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO after 2 layers of Spikes

Yeah, not even defensive Groudon would be safe.

Uh
That's what I said
I think you read it backwards

Oh they banned something again? If they keep on banning Pokemon left and right, the only Pokemon they deem "fair" be Dunsparce and Luvdisc and be fighting with just them.

er, that's not exactly how the banning process works.

Though if anyone wants to have a 6v6 battle with only Luvdisc and Dunsparce that's totally great with me

It's a joke xD Just that if you ban one thing, people go to the next powerful thing and the process keeps repeating
