Yeah, you're right. I ran some calcs on a HP down nature level 28 Greninja and bubble beam OHKOs it, I'm pretty sure they banned it based on the integrity of the tier, you have to take out the trash sometimes.

Yeah I was using my level 30 Greninja and used surf in a doubles match against 2 level 50 Vaporeons with Water Absorb and OHKO'd both along with the trainer. They might have had a happiness down nature.

They were my Vaporeon's. I released them and my girlfriend during that very battle.
