I've noticed that with pidge out of the tier, lots of team building freedom has opened up and people don't have to have to worry about always having something to check the bird anymore. Lots of usage of fun mons to use (ex: Coba, fighting types) appeared more in the uu(suspect) tier because they do not have to worry about burd spamming strong, STAB, 100% hurricane. I think lots of team building opportunities have opened up and that seems healthy for the tier.

Some people think lots of things wall it or can hard check it but that's really not true. The work up/refresh pidge set just rips apart stall teams because they cannot kill it in return. Hurricane also has that 30% confuse chance and let's be real everyone hates confuse/confuse hax. To think that mega pidge can indefinitely abuse this bird spammy, strong move is crazy, but it even has a confuse chance as well. Some people would probably stay in with their pidge in a bad situation and go for the confuse hax because it has such a high chance of occurring.

However, mega bird is not invincible, there are numerous problems with using mega pidgeot. Most of the scarfers like mienshao and rotom-heat can one shot it and also megas like aero and bee already outspeed it. Pretty sure the reason people really want pidge to be banned is that, like I said earlier, it restricts team building. Having to keep a bird check/counter on every single one of your teams could get annoying if you could use a different mon in that spot.

but the ability to skillessly spam hurricanes that dont miss and have 30% confusion chance outway those aspects to a high degree
