I second this. I've been hoping for an ubers double metagame for a while now. I say we make a ladder, maybe have a couple promotion tourneys here and there, and make some analyses for pokemon in this metagame. It is of particular interest to me because I would like to transition into a VGC style...

Dealing with the real world.

My Prediction: Team FireRed Omega is going to win.

It's unfortunate I couldn't see the giant centipede in action that battle. I think someone should post a Scolipede thread, as this mon seems like it has already established itself as somewhat viable in this meta and I'm sure many people (myself included) would enjoy discussing potential sets and...

I'm out, this time it's official.

I'm going to have to agree with Orch and Haruno. Not running SR will give the annoying roided up turkey monster more chances to switch in and wreak havoc. No matter what set you choose, be it band, scarf, subroost, or something else, Ho Oh is infamous for easily regaining momentum because of...

Confirmed gg

Can I... Get back in the tourney? Lol

Sorry I just wanted to make sure since I deleted my post the other day.

Sorry about being so indecisive. I'll resign up and see what I can do. TheRealAscension XY Ubers

My Predictions: Team Kebabe's 5 Best Alts vs. Team NoChance Fireburn vs. Killabunny: I saw Fireburn's beastly prediction skills in his match with Piexplode, I have no idea what Killabunny is capable of. Haruno vs. Tesung: I can tell this is going to be a close one, but I don't know how Tesung...

I'd hate to jump on the Blim vs Problems bandwagon, but that truly was one of the best games I've ever seen. I felt like it was neck and neck the whole match, with Problems having a slight edge because of Gastrodon completely making Kyogre useless. I was anticipating a crit to tip the scales...

Lol, those nicknames man.

Interesting.. How does being a free agent work as opposed to being part of a team?

When talking strictly in terms of viability, according to the criteria from the OP, Scizor would either be a B+ or A- in my book. Aegislash however would probably only get a B-. Does this make Scizor "better"? No, because if you need something to destroy Xerneas, and you are willing to mitigate...

Not sure if anyone has brought up Aegislash yet. It feels practically undisputed as the premier counter to Xerneas, and although it could be argued that it serves few other roles in ubers, it serves as a excellent backup check to Mewtwo and Lugia as well, especially with toxic. I'd recommend to...

Believe me I am not trying to invoke a flame war when I ask: "what is the point of viabilty rankings?". Judging pokemon is incredibly subjective and even when a consensus is made I feel in the end it usually just stifles creativity. Consider someone relatively new who decides to play ubers: they...
