Has anyone had any success with regular Scizor?

Will type-only bans ever be a thing again? Like Mega-Medicham being banned on Psychic but not Fighting. I remember reading a while back that there were some people for it, but I don't remember the reasons exactly for or against the policy.

Thanks for the Porygon-Z write-up. Just a small mistake is that in regards to Dark Porygon, Foul Play doesn't actually calculate the user's attack stat and instead works off of the opponent's, so you'd do the same damage to the same opponent whether you invested in Attack or not. Probably still...

So I remember a fairly large amount of people asking to have regular Abomasnow suspected alongside it's Mega and Sharpedo during the suspect test. Do any people still think it's broken? I'm pretty sure they don't since I've seen pretty much no discussion on it since, but I was just curious.

Does Choice Specs boost Future Sight/Doom Desire if the user isn't in battle?

I thought that Lickilicky's immunity to Taunt and access to stuff like Body Slam and Dragon Tale would help it maintain a niche over Audino as a cleric, but I guess that's not the case?

What does Audino have over Lickilicky besides Regenerator? I mean it's obviously an awesome ability, especially for a Wish-passer, but is that the only reason Audino is A+ rank in the Viability Rankings thread while Lickilicky is all the way in C-?

Who is/was Melee Mewtwo? I hear about him from time to time, apparently he's kinda infamous or something?

Regarding the whole S-rank debate going on in the Viability thread, would it be possible to split S-rank into S and S- like in other viability threads, or had that already been shot down?

So since the baton pass clause is in effect, does Venomoth have a chance at being unbanned? Going by the post about it, that seemed to be the main reason for its banning. Maybe Smeargle as well, although I'm not sure on that since I can't find the post for it.

What is Blissey's Calm Mind set? Sorry for asking about sets here if this is the wrong place, but it wasn't on the site's analysis.

What is the M-Latias BoltBeam T-wave Roost set that was mentioned in the Viability rankings thread?

Does that mean the anti-meta Pokemon must be something that's not very popular? Or can something that is popular while still being effective against other popular threats be considered anti-meta?

What does it mean for something to be "anti-meta"?

May I ask where the rise of Lumineon came from? Was it mostly (or completely) due to being a mediocre replacement Defogger for Pelipper?

Should M Sawmpert still be ranked? Discussion on it kinda died but I thought there was a consensus for something around C for it

Thanks, but why was it chosen as the term for the Smogon tier? Was there any real meaning to the decision, or was it just chosen because it sounded cool way back when Smogon was first made?

Where did the term "Ubers" originate from?

If a Pokemon with unburden loses its item but gets another item back later on, does it keep the boost?

I know this is a week late, but whatever. So now that Volcanion is officially revealed, does that mean Steam Eruption is legal or do we have to wait until Volcanion is useable in OU?
