Usage statistics make zero sense to create tiers with in 2020. Just saying. What a nightmare mess.

I don't post very often, but Breloom to me seems like the perfect example of something that should get suspected/banned. It's virtually guaranteed to eliminate at least one, probably two mons on a team without any real effort between spore and its sheer power. It has way too much dominance over...

What would be a good set for Hawlucha to run to get a pass? I typically run him with Swords Dance, Acrobatics, High Jump Kick and Stone Edge, but Swords Dance seems unnecessary with the passer.

You know what, considering the amount of people that are telling me the same thing, I'm going to say that I'm wrong. I've been very frustrated with competitive pokemon as of late, but I think I need to re-evaluate my teambuilding process and try and improve instead of just throwing my hands up...

I could break out all the math and such but all you people keep doing is just yelling "it's not broken it's not broken!" at me so I don't think it'd do very much good. All you guys are doing are making it seem like the right decision to stop playing. So you guys are alienating new players to...

If five pokemon were causing teams to become at least 3 of those pokemon per team, I'd be complaining either way. How can you honestly say that it's not over centralizing?

What gives me trouble is when I try to flip momentum, I just get counter flipped, because they'll have something that can easily counter one of my checks/counters for Keldeo. Jirachi just flinches me to death and if I send out, say, a Jolteon to deal with it, they've got a ground pokemon or...

What type of people are you playing against who stay in when they get locked into a move with Keldeo?

Don't give me that "well not all legendaries are broken" arguement. That has nothing to do with the point I'm making. Of course Articuno's going to be worse, it's a generation 1 legendary with a terrible typing, a very poor move pool and a pretty sub par ability. But what does that have to do...

I'm going to be completely honest: I find the UU metagame to be really lame right now. I have a thing about not using legendaries because I find them really boring and over centralizing, so it's really tough to find a good team when there are so many good legendaries and psuedo legendaries in...

How am I supposed to deal with Jirachi or Keldeo in the current metagame without resorting to legendaries?

It's almost like we shouldn't be banning based solely on usage statistics, but also based on stats, movepool, abilities, so on. There is no reason why Mega Gardy should be banned, but Jirachi/Keldeo/Latias/Tornadus/ect are not. All I've seen in the tier over the last two weeks month is 3 out of...

Neither of those moves remove items on top of dealing a significant amount of damage. People keep trying to equate other moves to being like Knock Off, but it's not that simple. Equating Knock Off in UU with Weather in OU is absolutely ludicrous. They're two different meta games with two...

So your counter is using a legendary pokemon that is by design supposed to be better than every other pokemon in the game, and you have exactly one replay to support that? I'm not convinced.

My point is that you picking and choosing from my points is not a good way to defend your point. You still haven't said how you should deal with knock off besides "well, you could just eat it I guess". You just keep repeating the same things over and over again. No wonder why you feel...

Couldn't something just KO M-Kanga after it gets its +2 Power Up Punch?

So your plan is just eat the knock off, and hope you can strike back with someone that can kill? People don't generally send their knock off user against someone that can kill them. Mienshao loves to knock off then U-turn back to safety with a quick health refill. Krookodile can get run with...

Adapting is fine, but you haven't told me how you adapt besides "I don't switch into knock off", whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. Stealth Rock hurts about half the Pokemon in the game, give or take, but there are ways to deal with it. Rapid Spin, not switching as often, Defog, making...

Who cares about Reuniclus? I've never seen him run in UUBeta period. I don't understand how the argument of, well, just never switch into knock off, somehow makes it better for the metagame? In my experience, when I see something with knock off, I have to make the choice of, am I going to...

It's good against knock off, so you never put it in against knock off. Got it. I'm also glad to see you mention a non-legendary mon for once.
