    Resource USM LC Viability Rankings (VR Update @ #249)

    Hi i haven't posted in a long time but why the heckie is Diglett S tier? He should be A or I guess A+ tier at the most. I posted my thoughts on Diglett many years ago and I still think it stands today. Having played around with Diglett recently, he seems to be vastly underperforming in this...

    So you're saying if you don't prepare for something then you will get dumped on by it? Alright. I'm sure that Vullaby and Stunky are literally the only two Pokemon in the game that can deal with Abra. What I don't get is why you're only talking about Abra's strengths. Why don't you focus on...

    If you win off (ab)using King's Rock you develop multiple aneurysms and die, don't try it

    comparing Mienfoo to Timburr is like comparing Porygon and Bunnelby, just because they have the same type doesn't mean they perform the same roles. Mienfoo's S rank strength is being able to pull off like half a dozen U Turns or more a game. This is the completely wrong mindset to approaching...

    Ponyta is what makes Chinchou almost 100% mandatory on all teams but i wouldn't put it at S rank, it doesn't have enough independent strength on it's own due to being SR weak to justify S rank, unlike Mienfoo and Pawn who do very well without the support of other mons. Good to see that you guys...

    Why would you even consider poison fang when mix carv ice beam is an option, also gets through foongus

    I think even with Heat Wave, Overheat will be the preferred move on Fletchling

    Slowpoke and Foongus and Mienfoo get free HP when you switch out, and gets rid of the ability for the opponent to whittle them down. No shit, that's their ability. Most abilities tend to give advantages, it's good that you noticed. Your entire argument is simply "It gets rid of switching, it...

    If two equally skilled players meet on the ladder, one with Diglett, one without, then the one who outplays the other will win. I honestly don't see how you can see it any differently. Diglett is strong because of the reasons blarajan listed, but again, having Diglett does not automatically...

    Resource LC Viability Rankings

    I personally like running 76 HP / 36 Atk / 156 Def / 236 SpD with Careful on Timburr for the specific purpose of being able to survive SashBra's Psychic even after you take as much damage as SR + Spikes. You also survive Fletchling's Acrobatics after SR damage. Attack is an overrated EV...

    This is going to be a long post but bear with me. Broken typically is something that is blatantly too strong, non-competitive like Swagger, or unhealthy for the meta. I'm wish I could let myself completely gloss over Gothita because I think the idea that it could ever be LC ubers is completely...

    LO Diglett can't OHKO bulky Chinchou without Stealth Rocks. Gothita can't OHKO Abra with Shadow Ball, or Timburr/Mienfoo with Psychic. So to me they're just mediocre revenge trappers who really only work consistently if your opponent has no fucking clue what they're doing.
