Togekiss, Indeedee, Dragapult all got banned - so you can't even use them in ranked battles anymore?

Banning things because they are popular is so dumb

Toss out bans because of other things sure, but not popularity

Eh, it makes some amount of sense in a competitive setting. There, things become popular because they work particularly well. Banning the most popular things is therefore just an easy way to balance the game.

Why did Togekiss get banned... is it just Serene Grace slagging?

No idea at all, Togekiss was actually my favourite Pokemon. Probably max airstream abuse, can become OP with scope lens and super luck

Wouldnt the game already be balanced if everybody was using that particular set, though?

Also, how do they find a good balance, anyway? It seems like it would be had in a game where there are like a thousand choices of Pokmon, and a 6 person teams. The amount of teams possible is an insanely high number. (Especially when you consider the moves they know, and nature, and other stuff)...

Youd think so but bear in mind when you have OP Pokemon people tend to overuse them, so although you have an infinite number of team combos youll frequently just run into:

togekiss, dragapult, excadrill, Dracovish, grimmsnarl, or some combination of all of those.

I ran into at least one of those, to name a few, in almost every single ranked battle.

not to mention most Pokemon are geared towards a particular move set and nature anyway and you can more or less predict what type of dragapult or Togekiss youre fighting
