To add to this, the reason it has to be an across-the-board ban rather than nitpicking on sets is because then anything uber can be brought down if you apply enough bans, creating a slippery slope of precedence. Think Mega Salamence is ban-worthy? Not if it has no normal moves, making Aerialate useless! Kyogre wouldn't be that bad if we limit it to moves that only have 40 base power as well!No offence dude, but after your post in Smogon's Mega Salamence thread saying it wasn't broken and calling Aerilate a useless ability on it, I'm inclined to take whatever you say about competitive battling with a massive grain of salt. Also don't start throwing around petty accusations about the staff rigging anything, because this isn't even remotely rigged and the majority of their community (users) have wanted this for a while now. If you don't understand how Smogon works (they don't ban an ability on a mon unless the ability is broken on everything that gets it) then it'd be better if you went and did some research on how they tier before commenting on it in this negative manner because it's clear you don't have all the facts. If they start neutering broken things down to fit OU, then let's have Mega Mawile back but it can only use Fairy Wind as STAB, Mega Salamence without Dragon Dance and Substitute and bring back Mega Lucario but it can only use special sets.
They did that with Sand Veil Garchomp.
No, they did that with Sand Veil (and also Snow Veil) everything because things like Gliscor were haxing with Sand Veil. Unless you want to make a case that Protean is broken on Kecleon then Protean isn't getting banned on Greninja.
