Beast Boost is impossible to play around in league format.

I...I haven't finished the game. I am at the second "Grand Trial"

But I'll explain more in the diary thread tomorrow

So many of these new Pokemon will go straight to ubers.

Golisopod w/ First Impression is ridiculous. +2 priority, base 90 power and STAB.
Pheromosa has base 131 ATK and spATK and base 151 speed with insane coverage. Ability beast boost can be used to raise any ability when you get a kill, so it can act as moxie, speed boost, or moxie for special attack. Insane.
Magearna w/ Soul Heart does the same thing as beast boost.
Zygarde-Complete has base 216 HP and can dragon dance twice without issue unless an ice type is already on the field.
Guzzlord has beast boost too, and base 223 HP.
Celesteela has beast boost and over base 100 stats in everything but HP and speed.
Xurkitree has base 173 special attack and beast boost.

Anything with beast boost/soul heart will be banned, guaranteed.

Yeah, the Ultra Beasts are too powerful. Most of them anyway. Pheromosa is probably the most broken.
Golisopod is good but not too crazy, no way will it be banned. . Magearna is very good but I don't think it'll be banned, at least not in Smogon format. Maybe if it was faster.

Pheremosa and Aegislash will probably be the first to GTFO.

Forgot about Genesect and Greninja. Them too.

 

[Solidus1]

Those are already banned. Or you mean moved from ubers to AG?

A few mons have been brought down for Sun and Moon.

Been playing a bit and the most broken mons for now are probably Greninja, Genesect, Pheromosa, Kartana and Aegislash. Dugtrio is fucking annoying too because it traps and takes shit out for the Ultra Beasts/Genesect.

Dugtrio is annoying but not OU worthy. Though I do like pairing it with Durant w/ Entertainment. Evil.

It's been used in OU for a while now (even in some stall teams) and it pairs amazingly with Ultra Beasts atm. Also, it got a bit of an attack boost so Choice Band will be a lot more common to trap and kill.

I can't wait 'til Marshadow is released. Very good Attack, Very good Speed and an amazing signature move. It's so cute too <3

 

[Solidus1]

Are we talking Alolan Dugtrio here?

No
Aloln Dugtrio kinda sucks. It doesn't get Arena Trap.

I'm pretty disappointed with Silvally. It's not nearly as a good as I thought it would be

Been having fun using Primarina and Tapu Lele <3
