    Won vs. Arthur Parks, GG.

    Could you ban Geomancy (just the move, not Xerneas itself) for further rounds btw? If you wanna do something wild with 5 minutes of your time you should count the types that are 6-0'd mercilessly by Xerneas once it has Geomancy under its belt. :[ Xerneas can do lots of other cool stuff besides Geomancy anyway. Thought I'd at least try. :J

    I was actually planning to do a poll about this exact topic for r1 and then kinda forgot about it, but yeah I'll keep the possibility of geomancy getting banned in the back of my head for r2

    Geomancy Xerneas isnt the only powerfull thing in this tour. I mean its like we ban double dance on Pdon or ban Scarf on Kyogre. Imo Xerneas has enough checks and/or switch ins (at least for most types)
    Normal: Chansey, Blissey, sometimes even Ditto
    Fight: click x
    Poison: enough checks
    Steel: lol
    Flying: Ho-oh, Lugia, even SpDef Talonflame
    Rock: Mega Aggron
    Ground: Pdon, Excadrill, Mega Steelix if not Focus blast
    Bug: Forretress, Scizor,Beedrill
    Ghost: Aegislash
    Steel: Gratz you won
    Fire: a lot of stuff, for example Heatran, Ho-oh
    Water: SpDef Quagsire, Tentacruel
    Grass: Ferrothorn,Amoonguss, Mega Venusaur
    Electric: X
    Psychic: Jirachi,Wobbufett, Bronzong, Metagross
    Ice: X
    Dragon: Nice Try lol
    Dark: Sash Bisharp could win a 1v1, but Dark is fucked up anyway with this match up
    Fairy: Klefki, Unaware Clefable

    I could do a list like this for Scarfed Kyogre too and in pretty sure there are less checks. Xerneas is ofc powerfull, but stopable if you prepare for it

    If any type has to "click X" then that makes it stupid enough to ban, Double Dance Pdon and scarf ogre are different because 1 needs 2 turns to "win" and the other is locked in a move and thus can be forced out, don't compare those to a mon that gets +2 in 3 stats in one turn and barely needs coverage lol.

    This is Monotype, you cant compare it to Ubers. Sometimes you just have a bad match up and cant do shit. Fighting autoloses to fairy most of the times, and fairy loses to steel for example

    Fairy shitting on Fighting is different from say, Electric losing to Geomancy Xerneas, it's not a matter of bad type matchup, it's a matter of not being able to handle a mon even though you don't have a type disadvantage.

    Fairy does not autolose at all vs Steel, bdrum Knock off Azumarill demolishes Steel after rocks ( can be set up by Mawile, Clefable and Arceus)

    Reason why Geoxern is absurd is because:
    - Dual screen Memento Whimsicott is a perfect set up
    - Sub Geoxern with focus is a bit of an issue in Mono
    - You can also play Thunder over Sub to beat Ho-Oh
    - Mononormal is bad, ditto is not even a top choice in this format.
    - Monoelec only chance is to twave prankster with Thundurus and then use Physical attackers ( lol ) to trying 2hkoing Xern. Obv loses to rest xern with screens.
    - Monoflying lose to 3 atks
    - Monopoison is garbage and nobody will ever use it

    On the other side:
    - ghost and steel have aegi
    - steel also has Heatran with roar if no focus
    - psy has bronzong and eventually sash Wobbuffet if no rocks

    No need of talking of matchups such as Fairy Dark it's like Infernape in Fighting vs Steel, you can't do much about it.

    While I think Geo is potentially broken in this format, I also think the matchup provided matters too much. A lot of types have at least one mon to deal with Xerneas, other don't but we can apply this logic to a lot of mons. Tbh i'll keep it in tier

    Xerneas wins against Flying? lol how
    +2 Thunder isnt even a 1hko on a CB Ho-Oh, Lugia tanks ez and Whirlswinds, and Moonblast isnt even a 1hko without multiscale, thunder has just like a 25% chance to 1hko
    Also, Psy has a lot more checks like Jirachi, Metagross.[/QUOTE]

    Idk why I even discuss about it that much when I don't use fairy type lol

    Don't be too hard on yourself, some of us are still surprised at the fact that you compared Geo Xern to Scarf Kyogre in ORAS :)

    It would be smarter to extend deadline if -that- many people haven't done it.

    Regardless, my opponent and I have tried scheduling and stuff to no avail, but that blame is mostly because we live like 12 hours apart e_e
