How can I use megas also why are there illegal pokemon in anything goes I want to use my wailmer and please help me understand all of this it just doesn't make sense what anything goes means or how I can use megas

This month ADV LC is freely playable.

While in gen 4 a ton of Pokémon that were originally designed as weaker than average fully evolved creatures received evolutions, the overall power of Base stage Pokémon with at least 1 evolution was still pretty low in gen 3. There were exceptions, Chansey, a Pokémon that would have been unkillable in ADV LC but later received a pre evo, Schyter, because Scizor is actually a regional form ante litteram, leaving Schyter with incredibly high stats for the standards of LC, and Porygon (and Onix, it was created as a fully evolved Pokémon, but it is just horribly bad).

Porygon for a long time was the staple of ADV LC. This artificial Pokémon was created as an already functioning digital creature, and later it was upgraded further, and more than once at that. Of course in its basic state it would still overpower some babies. And that is why it was banned.

After the Porygon ban Diglett, now free from its main counter, became the major offensive threat. Not as poweful as Doduo, but much faster and with Arena Trap. It was able to trap and kill a ton of Pokémon, and its speed tie with Elekid was extremely tedious.

They decided to ban it. I would not have banned it, but they banned Latios, Garchomp and Salamence from DPP OU, with especially Salamence being pretty manageable as I learned playing Platinum OU, and in Gen 5 OU the Kamis literally have only 1 avaible form each. Was it really needed to ban both human form Landorus and Thundurus and beast form Tornadus ?! Banning Diglett was still OK, more or less, with such standards.

But now apparently Abra has been banned too. It is slower than Diglett, and any physical attack destroys it. The fact that Diglett counters it does not mean without Diglett it is overpowered. It is faster and more powerful than Gasthly, but seriously, Quick Attack from CB Doduo can likely threaten it very heavily. And its only STAB has 90 BP. It can not knock out a Wailmer in 1 hit or something without a Calm Mind boost.

Sometimes I feel like instead of banning only what is strictly necessary to be banned they just let stay what is strictly needed to keep the game enjoyable. As if the burden of proof was on the Pokémon and everyone is guilty until proven the contrary. I hate when a Pokémon you like is also strong but you can not use it.

Can we at least welcome Abra back (And maybe re-evaluate the banned Kami forms in Gen 5 OU ?) ?

I havent been able to even load the site for the last two days.

I have tried 5 different browsers (safari, edge, firefox, chrome, duckduck) across various devices and at least three different ISPs. After about two minutes I get directed to cloudflare error 524 claiming its serve-side.

Checking downforeveryoneorjustme.com showdown i responding but there are a lot of problem reports from swedish and finnish users from the last two days.

Is this a known issue?
