Hello, going into NU's next stage, we're moving forward by retesting Sneasel. Sneasel returns once again as NU's current suspect. Sneasel's traits should be fairly familiar at this point; it possesses a strong Pursuit and Knock Off alongside a great 115 Speed tier that lets it effectively...

...as easing predictions against the former's King's Shield, but forgoing the consistent boost in power from Life Orb isn't ideal. Checks and Counters =================== **Ghost-types**: Ghost-types such as Mimikyu, Aegislash, and Mega Gengar force Pheromosa into predictions by discouraging...

.: Type Optimisation :. Approved by G-Luke. Ever thought looked a typing thinking "this will make a great offensive sweeper!"- only to be disappointed by poor movepool, base stats or inefficient stat spreads? Ever wondered what it's like to actually have fast Fire/Rock that takes advantage...

...chlorophyll. Growth is great in the sun because it increase both attack and special attack by plus two each. Having earthquake to KO incoming counters like heatran are great. Scizor poses a bit of a problem, but the rest of the team is good at handling it before setting up. Sitrus berry keeps...

...metagame and force them to switch out. Granbull can be used offensively as a choice banded juggernaut, or as a physical check and fighting counter. Because Granbull's STAB move only has 90 Base Power and 90% accuracy, it struggles to break through physical checks such as defensive Mesprit...

...the tier's Defog users. * Defensive Zygarde-C is an excellent partner for Arceus-Bug, as it can switch into both of Arceus-Bug's best counters in Mega Salamence and Ho-Oh. * Primal Groudon and Necrozma-DM can benefit from Arceus-Bug as a partner, as it frees up these typical Stealth Rock...

Hey everyone, honestly didn't think I'd be writing this post for a long time (or ever, my dream has always been to be activity demoted) but the time has come for me to step down as Tier Leader. A few of you may have seen this coming, but I'm sure this is surprising to most. There's a lot of...
