  1. NU Viability Ranking

    No, the point is that everything that Absol does well isn't good enough for it to be S-Rank. I'm sick of going around in circles with this argument. I'm not saying that Absol is a poor choice of pokemon to be used on an NU team. I'm saying that Absol doesn't cut it as an S-Rank pokemon.
  2. NU Viability Ranking

    I did post relevant information to my claim. My claim is that Absol can't break through walls and that it can't sweep through teams the way an S-Rank pokemon should be able too. At least, not so long as your opponent has more than two pokemon left. Absol doesn't apply the sort of pressure to...
  3. NU Viability Ranking

    Alrighty then, I will. 252+ LO Absol's STAB Night Slash Vs. 252/252+ Amoonguss: 147 - 174 (34.03% - 40.28%) damage, 3HKO (with low damage rolls and leftovers recovery 4HKO). 252+ LO Absol's Superpower Vs. 252/4 Regirock: 201 - 237 (55.22% - 65.11%) damage, guaranteed 2HKO if it wasn't for the...
  4. NU Viability Ranking

    Absol's coverage is Dark / Fighting / Psychic. Its Dark moves are either unreliable (Sucker Punch) or weak (neither Sucker Punch nor Night Slash reach 100 BP, let alone 90 BP). As I've said before, it's only a hard-hitting pokemon when its attack is boosted and when it's hitting a frail...
  5. NU Viability Ranking

    Lickilicky's support set is Wish / Protect / Heal Bell / Dtail or Body Slam, it can't have both. That makes it limited. Mew has plenty of options, that doesn't change the fact that it only has 4 moveslots. Same goes for Lickilicky, you can't argue that it has both Body Slam AND a phazing move if...
  6. NU Viability Ranking

    It does not. 252+ speed. As I said, Miltank performs like Latias. And it can easily break through substitutes due to either STAB Body Slam (or Return if you don't want the paralysis chance and would rather extra power which is, believe me, definitely noticeable) or, for bulky Psychics / Ghosts...
  7. NU Viability Ranking

    Lickilicky has to run Wish / Protect for recovery, and having to use protect so often gives your opponent free switches or set up turns. The set that I usually run on Miltank is Miltank @ Leftovers 252 hp / 4 def / 252+ spd - Body Slam - Punishment - Milk Drink - Heal Bell This gives...
  8. NU Viability Ranking

    Absol is very frail and 75 base speed isn't impressive at all, not even by NU standards. It gets outsped by Cinccino, Zangoose, Braviary, Gardevoir, Rotom-A... Watchog. It's most reliable STAB has a rather pitiful 70 BP. Relicanth hits harder than that (fuck yeah, Relicanth). I agree that CB...
  9. NU Viability Ranking

    Absol can barely touch Amoonguss or Alomomola, and SP has a nasty recoil effect. Cinccino can still hit Probopass / Bastiodon / Lairon for neutral with Bullet Seed. Also, ALL NU Steel-types are garbage. All of them. Even the best (Probopass) stinks. Also also, Alomomola is B-Rank. This is an...
  10. Gen 5 The OU Viability Ranking thread

    Kyurem-B is garbage. It doesn't deserve A-Rank. It's too slow for the current metagame and has a terrible defensive typing and a weakness to SR. The result is a bulky pokemon that really isn't that bulky despite access to Roost, or a fast offensive pokemon that just really isn't that fast. KB...
  11. NU Viability Ranking

    I'm late to the discussion, but why is Absol S-Rank? I've never gone up against an Absol or used an Absol that's done anything effective in the match besides give the opponent's walls opportunities to set up rocks. Also, Cinccino is pretty boss. I'd recommend her for S-Rank by virtue of her...
  12. The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    Dusclops should be D-tier alongside Registeel. Dusclops shouldn't be compared to Cofagrigus as they fill different roles. One is a tank, the other is a wall. With poor recovery. As that one guy that posted before said, Dusclops' defenses with Eviolite shit ALL over Cofag's defenses. Dusclops...
  13. The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    Hmm. Odd. It always seems that Specs Raikou does more damage to the Snorlax's that I fight. Maybe I'm just imagining things. Also, I was mostly joking about how weak Snorlax is to physical attackers (160/65 is pretty damn impressive, moreso for an offensive poke though) but with both of the...
  14. The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    Snorlax isn't S rank material because BW2 UU =/= GSC OU. Snorlax has unreliable recovery, a weakness to fighting type attacks, is terribly slow and therefore vulnerable to every (most?) physical attacker in the tier. Pursuit isn't unique in the slightest and there are plenty of other pokes that...
  15. The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    Snorlax isn't S-rank material. Normal isn't a good enough defensive typing. He's hideously weak to Fighting-types and there are even some special attackers that don't mind him. He relies on Rest for recovery which gives your opponent free turns and he's setup fodder for any physically defensive...
