I can't fucking take it anymore. This pokemon needs to be fucking gone. EVERY GOD FORSAKEN GAME HAS ZAMAZENTA. Out of your 6 pokemon, you need like 3 dudes just to beat one dog. It's too bulky to be killed by most special moves, even some that are super-effective, and its blistering speed allows it to get Iron Defenses so fast your head will spin. preventing any physical attacker from KOing it. This doesn't even address the fact that its uninvested attack stat allows it to bypass should-be counters with coverage. There's such a small selection of things that actually beat it one on one that it's so goddamn frustrating.
How is it that all the ban conversations I hear are about Darkrai, Kyurem, and Raging Bolt when all of these pokemon straight up lose to this dumb dog? "Oh, Kyurem runs a mixed coverage set that has loaded dice, icicle spear, and scale shot, that's the real problem!" Those pokemon at least have counter-play. I'd rather play against Unaware Dozo Clod Clef stall every matchup than play against one more drooling ladder player with that dumb Iron defense set where I have to guess if it has Heavy Slam to beat my Fairy type, Crunch to beat my ghost, or fucking Stone Edge to beat my Moltres. This all ignores the fact that no pokemon abuses Tera half as well as this obese bitch. Oh, how quaint, your Valiant outspeeds and has super effective moonblast? Tera Fire Iron Defense go brrrrrrrr. Don't even get me started on those Life Orb attacker sets that have been popping up.
It's enabled the most obnoxious, low IQ teambuilding. Now every damn team is Zama + Glowking + Twave spam. How is one team style running the meta healthy? How is it that Stall sucks? Why I am I running into niche pokemon picks that are chosen just to beat one pokemon, and how come it's never enough? Did everyone forget how boring Gen 8 was? Are we all content to go back to that, where the fat legendary comes in and wins you the game?
Everyday we stray further from Arceus and the beloved Son he sacrificed 'pon the cross, and when the day of reckoning comes, we will all deserve the damnation he will bring upon us. Do you think the creator of everything is happy when he looks at OU and sees that they unbanned this stupid boxart so that everyone can click Iron Defense in unison? Thou shalt not worship false swipe idols.
Zamzenta needs a suspect yesterday. If I'm wrong and the people choose to keep his dumbass in, fine, whatever, but there at least needs to be a vote. This isn't healthy or fun. It's macabre, sick, twisted, and perverse. If there's any justice in this world, the Holy Smogon council will take swift action against this monster, and we'll be better off for it.
