Can anyone confirm how the following scenario plays out? An opponents pokemon tries to switch on the same turn that the other players Tyranitar Mega Evolves and uses Pursuit.

Nominating Bluntmons.

I really wish people would stop using the argument "I haven't seen Pokemon X so it should be in Tier Y rather than Tier Z." This is totally irrelevant to the thought process. A pokemon can be rare in a metagame and still be good, alternatively, a pokemon can be somewhat common, and you just have...

I feel the need to throw my two cents about the current OU Suspect Process in here. The current OU Suspect Process is very flawed. The first problem comes from the reqs to get voting privileges, which are entirely based on your Showdown Glicko2 and deviation. Your Glicko2 is heavily based on...

Chansey is listed twice in Groudon's Sailors.

While pretty much all of what I'm gonna say has been said I still want to go over this. Genesect lost U-Turn, so not only has it not been buffed it's been hugely nerfed. All of us know how inferior Volt Switch is, and having Volt Switch rather than U-Turn makes most Genesect entirely checked by...

Approved by Arcticblast Mugi Mod is a major modification to the OU metagame that only makes changes that can be done using the Balanced Hackmons ruleset. This means any team that is legal for Mugi Mod is also legal for Balanced Hackmons and should be played there. The rule set of Mugi Mod is...

The reason Tangrowth was E was because it was felt at the time that Tangrowth, while not being a bad pokemon, was outclassed in both his Physically Defensive and Chlorophyll roles to the point where there was no real reason to use him on a team. While I still feel that Tangrowth is outclassed if...

Firstly, saying that Charizard "only" needs Spin and Sun support is a gross misstatement. Spin and Sun support is already quite a bit of support. This requires at least two separate pokemon to support Charizard, one of which is attempting to keep the hardest weather in the game to maintain up so...

Landorus-I has been officially removed from the list as he is now an Uber pokemon.

Added Gothorita to B-Rank.

For some weird For some weird reason I can't get Showdown replays to work for the life of me. Hitting the play button causes them to go to the very end of the of the replay, it's very weird. Your replays are generally going to fall on deaf ears, the Whiscash one worked for me though...

Various changes have been made in the OP. Virizon has been changed to the correct spelling Virizion Swanna has been moved down from A rank to S rank Whiscash has been moved up from C Rank to A Rank Hitmontop has been added to D Rank Also, Throh is B Rank, he has always been.

The problem that I have with Whiscash is that he requires extensive team support and time to set-up, which is not indicative of an A-Tier or S-Tier pokemon. Firstly, Whiscash can be forced out during the set-up by many faster pokemon that can threaten him with strong grass attacks such as...

Swanna has a lot going for it, and is in my personal opinion the single best Weather Abuser in the whole metagame. One key thing you missed is Swanna's 113 base speed. This puts Swanna above the large majorty of non-speed boosted pokemon. This high speed is further complimented by Swanna's...

Ah, didn't know that. Will do immediately.

Tier Shift Viability Rankings Thread You should be familiar with these by now, if not, the point is to rank a variety of Tier Shift legal pokemon into “tiers” based on how good they are in the metagame. You’re encouraged to post your thoughts as to which tier each pokemon should fall under, and...
