Having a STAB base 130 Nasty Plot at your hands whenever Serperior comes in reshapes the metagame entirely, and even all of the supposed checks for Serperior can be beaten by Serperior itself thanks to moves like Gastro Acid and Dragon Tail. Contrary SerperiorД¬ontrary Serperior has been deemed clearly overwhelming for NU, and it's really no question why if you played the metagame with Serperior at all. Below are detailed explanations of the reasoning behind the quickbans. Heliolisk has been banned from NU with an 89.8% supermajority.ДЇurthermore, as of recent legalization of Contrary Serperior and Sheer Force Feraligatr, the NU council decided that both should be quickbanned from the tier for a multitude of reasons. Steelixite has been banned from NU with an 84.5% supermajority. A detailed vote analysis is featured below. Steelixite, Heliolisk, Feraligatr, and Serperior Banned from NUДЇollowing the suspect test held for Mega Steelix and Heliolisk, it was decided by supermajority vote that both Steelixite and Heliolisk would be banned from NU to RU. In the end, the addition of Sheer Force made Feraligatr, an already good RU Pokemon, too powerful and versatile for the RU metagame to handle. This significant increase in power made Feraligatr very difficult to check and nearly impossible to counter outside of a select few defensive Pokemon, especially when it employs the use of Substitute, and outside of Choice Scarf Rotom-C, very few if any Choice Scarf users have the capability to revenge kill it. Between its above average bulk and pure Water typing, Feraligatr found many opportunities to set up all the while being incredibly difficult to revenge kill once it got going. The reasoning is below: Gaining Sheer Force gave Feraligatr three crucial boons that resulted in its ban: the ability to hit tremendously hard straight off the bat, have the capability to run Dragon Dance and even Specially Based-attacker sets to limit its pool of checks, and accentuate the power of its already fearsome Swords Dance sets.
