At long last, Genesect has made a new home in the Ubers banlist (at least if you follow Smogon tiers, I haven't heard of PO's decision, if any) OU should be able to take a breath now. What do you guys think? Did the decision take too long? Or was the metagame still adjusting to Genesect's presence?

Gah! And I just devised an OU team with Genesect! He has a x4 Fire weakness, I can't imagine him being THAT impossible to counter in OU. Most teams already have it to counter Ferrothorn, so... grrr.

Yeah one would think that, but since it has access to a plethora of great moves, and Download, it's pretty hard to switch into without either sacking something or taking a heavy hit. And since most of the time its running a Scarf, revenge-killing it is pretty difficult.

Yes. Just yes. I hate Genesect so bad. He is a pure annoyance to everyone of my old PO teams. That mechanized bug was the most annoying thing in the world.

Well that's exactly why it was banned. It forced a lot of people to run Heatran, or Specially Defensive Ninetales just to prevent Genesect from running amock. He wasn't broken, but he definitey overcentralized the metagame. And it doesn't matter if he's not cut out to be Uber, that's a banlist, not an actual tier.
