Pokemon’s Most One-Sided Ban Vote.

Pokemon Competitive Singles has been turned on it's head with the release of the "Hidden Treasure of Area Zero" DLC. Bloodmoon Ursaluna sure is an all new Ursaluna. This one uses special attacks though.

Some will never figure out how to get Bloodmoon Ursaluna in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Bloodmoon Ursaluna Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Bloodmoon Ursaluna Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
Arceus exists.
The below text is very relevant to many people.
Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.
Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.
Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.
Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on KZbin. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

I think that if bloodmoon came out before regular ursaluna it would have gotten quickbanned. But the fact that ursaluna came out and then turned out to be underwhelming despite the sky high expectations of it, gave some people pause about the strength of bloodmoon. As it turns out, there were enough differences between the two for a drastic shift in power. I think it’s good that time was taken to definitively determine these differences

[@acekun6493]

I think speed is usually a big factor when it comes to Pokemon being broken, the main difference is that normal Ursaluna wears itself down and Bloodmoon is really bulky and has good recovery options. When you look at slower offensive Pokemon that were banned in some tiers like Mega Mawile, Melmetal, Kingambit and Magearna they all spend some time in their tiers prior to a ban because its always reasonable to assume that you can simply defeat them by being faster and disrupt or outoffense them.

[@alexman159]

I remember when this got revealed, and people were saying it was going to be worse than base Ursaluna, with a lower attacking stat, worse speed bracket, and... I don't remember the other reason. Either way, I remember laughing to myself at that video, thinking this mon is what happens when Tinkaton gets good attack.

[@aldolibreri791]

Regular Ursaluna is basically immune to status because everyone runs the guts/flame orb set. That is something that BM doesn’t have. But BM has set up, healing, and a broken ability instead. People also though that BM would be less bulky on the special side because BM has less health and special defense, but Calm Mind fixes that. A single Calm Mind boost also boost it’s special attack to similar levels to what Base has with a flame orb. So with all of that, BM becomes substantial better than base.

[@Poondaedalin]

The Smogon forum for it is pretty hilarious. There were people who thought it would be UU at best, and that Blood Moon was bad because, in singles, it’s Boomburst but worse.

[@goobingtons]

​@@aldolibreri791your first point is moot because to accomplish that it kills itself, L. BMU has a better attacking profile for it's typing, a better ability and recovery that isn't rest or leftovers+protect. It was always going to be as good as the other one, especially once we saw it's movepool

[@MacZephyrZ]

I was one of the skeptics of Ursaluna classic. I pointed out that without speed or priority it'd struggle as an offensive threat, and without recovery it'd struggle as a defensive one. Old Rampardos theorem struck again - people never learn. Then Blood Moon came along and had both priority and healing, as well as a way to hit ghosts on the switch because why freaking not.

[@dr.dylansgame5583]

@@goobingtons To be fair people always ignore Bulk Up and Rest combination on Base Ursaluna. With this Setup you can fully invest into HP and Spdef. And Rest even negates the Burn Damage while asleep. Once you get a boost or two especially on Tera Normal the only way to really stop it is either. The Strongest Fighting Types in the game with High Base Power Moves to boot which have there own drawbacks 90 percent of the time.

This is one of those pokemon that really feels designed around VGC where the fact that you can double into it and that its most threatening options are single target (-hyper voice which isn't really a guranteed part of the set) make it a scary but quite managable mon outside of trick room (and even then it still can be played around in all the usual trick room ways). Kind of an unfortunate side effect of pokemon leaning into vgc as an appeal for the games in the singles environment

Its unsurprising to me that a special attacker with scrappy+keen eye and the second best special normal move behind boomburst would be so good

WHAT IS THE SONG YOURE PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND?!?! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT FOR SO LONG

[@Gold_Gamer_100]

Blood Moon Ursaluna is basically RBY Tauros with more overtuned stats, a boosting and healing move, a better and Safer Hyper Beam and can hit ghost types

[@Interiorcrocodilealigator10838]

What does ursaluna do vs Galarian wheezing terra ghost air balloon? And ppl were b-tching abt enamorus having type match up over chomp

[@LifeOrbes]

I just think of the poor VGC folk having to deal with this behemoth

[@nameputhpong9041]

Extremely banned is so fucking hilarious.

Me searching for a Blood Moon Video for my Draht League, good that i got it 😮

[@jaccob7119]

Will you be doing a video on that new UUbers tier that's been made? It seems pretty interesting and would like to hear your take on it.

[@undercoverweeb]

OU if people weren't bitchmade Nuff said

[@GoldGuard]

I can’t find it or any mention of it online. And it’s not even on Showdown. Is it real?

[@zadarok359]

@@GoldGuard yeah @chompy_YT did make a video with the guy behind it

[@GoldGuard]

@@zadarok359Thanks

[@StillGamingMaybeLatr]

considering how ursaluna regular was on the chopping block a little while back, it's unsurprising to me that ursaluna's big cousin that had better coverage and could fire off hyperbeams without recharge would get taken out

Chi-yu just screaming holy shit killed me xdd

[@slashine1071]

the neat thing about ursaluna BM being banned is that it's banned just as uubers is becoming a tier. So it would definitely still be played.

[@JoeJoe-ju3zi]

Great video

[@finalGambitShedinja]

giving vacuum wave was so out of pocket. i think priority is what sends it over the edge of uber. the later in the game you get, vacuum wave invalidates more and more revenge killers as they are weakened or ursaluna is boosted.

[@TunaBear64]

Man, the bears can't catch a break from being banned Ursaluna-Bloodmoon: Banned from OU Ursaluna: Banned from NDOU Ursaring: Banned from PU Beartic: Banned from ZU (twice) Urshifu (both forms) Banned from OU

[@user-fz9vk4js5l]

Dont play OU but im very surprised that something this slow was unanimously banned. Especially with common weaknesses

[@Nobody-su9km]

that's how you figure out the community devolved as a whole.

[@Mingha0]

@@Nobody-su9km-someone who hasn’t played ou in months

[@Nobody-su9km]

does OU stand for "Our own Unique calculator"? Imagine playing a calculator emulator and still banning everything, pitfull honestly...@@Mingha0

[@andrejg4136]

It has Moonlight and is bulky as fuck. You are near guaranteed a KO once it gets in and you don't have to do much to get 3. If one Mon can basically take half another team by itself regardless of that other team then it deserves to get kicked upstairs.

[@user-fz9vk4js5l]

@@andrejg4136 Yeah I clarified i dont play OU to clarify i dont have any opinions on it being banned, just surprised to see it. I only play random battles and past gens really

[@flamestorm1468]

"Was that the ban of 87!?"

The bear's name is "Five Nights", lol.
