    ZU (SS) Orbeetle [GP 1/1]

    [OVERVIEW] Despite a rather interesting support movepool, Orbeetle is an overall unviable choice in SS ZU. It suffers from a pretty poor defensive typing and general passivity before setting up.

    ZU (SS) Stoutland [DONE]

    [OVERVIEW] Stoutland leaves a lot to be desired in SS ZU. The generational loss of Return leaves the shaggy dog scrambling for replacements for a Normal-type STAB move, all of them either too weak or unreliable. As a result, Stoutland can't really make use of its solid base Attack stat and is...

    ZU (SS) Walrein (GP 1/1)

    [OVERVIEW] Walrein is not a very good Pokemon in SS ZU. Its seemingly decent bulk is undercut by its poor defensive typing, mediocre damage output, and lack of reliable recovery options. It could make use out of Swords Dance, but the aforementioned defensive issues combined with rather poor...

    ZU (SS) Electivire (GP 1/1) [DONE]

    [OVERVIEW] Electivire might seem appealing on paper due to its high attacking stats and good coverage movepool, but this is offset by the lack of a good physical STAB move and setup options, making its damage output often underwhelming. Electivire is outclassed as an offensive Electric-type by...

    ZU (SS) Wailord [GP 1/1]

    [OVERVIEW] Wailord is a poor choice in SS ZU due to being heavily outclassed by other bulky Water-types thanks to its lackluster bulk and lack of recovery outside of Rest. As a result, Wailord has to make do with a rather gimmicky trapping set on stall teams, but such sets are outclassed by...

    Granbull (QC 0/3) (GP 0/2)

    [OVERVIEW] Granbull is a decent Fairy-type option in the current metagame.

    RU Sawk (QC 3/3) (GP 2/2)

    [OVERVIEW] Sawk manages to carve a niche for itself among RU's Fighting-type Pokemon for a few reasons.

    PU Chimecho (mini) [QC 2/2] [GP 1/1]

    uploading -mz [OVERVIEW] On paper, Chimecho has a lot of things going for it.

    PU Parasect (mini) [QC 2/2] [GP 1/1]

    hi akir -mz [OVERVIEW] Parasect's access to the rare Spore and a solid ability in Dry Skin cannot make up for the several crippling flaws it has in the PU metagame. It is absurdly slow, has lackluster bulk, and has an awful defensive typing; it is notably 4x weak to Flying and weak to Rock-...

    PU Meganium (Mini-Analysis) [QC 2/2] [GP 1/1]

    happy dino -mz [OVERVIEW] Meganium simply has no real use over other bulky Grass-types in the tier. Its abilities are useless, it has a mediocre movepool, it is very passive, and its bulk isn't even that impressive. Meganium does have some unique moves among its brethren like Dragon Tail and...

    PU Oricorio-F (Mini-Analysis) [QC 2/2] [GP 1/1]

    birb -mz [OVERVIEW] Oricorio-F at first glance might seem usable, seeing as it's one of the few Fire-types in the tier and it has great STAB moves in Hurricane and Revelation Dance, along with Calm Mind to boost. Unfortunately, using Oricorio-F means giving up using Oricorio-E or Oricorio-G...

    ZU Toucannon (QC 3/3) (GP 2/2)

    [OVERVIEW] A high Attack stat, a powerful STAB move in Brave Bird, and solid coverage moves such as Bullet Seed, Knock Off, and Brick Break allow Toucannon to break through various walls in the ZU metagame. It also has a pretty passable Special Attack stat, allowing it to use moves like...

    LC Petilil

    [OVERVIEW] It's hard to find much use for Petilil in the Little Cup metagame. It's slow and not very bulky, and aside from access to Sleep Powder and niche options like Healing Wish is completely outclassed by fellow offensive Grass-type Snivy, which has a great ability in Contrary, much better...
