I'd be pro-ban Regenerator for a simple reason: a solid rege-team is almost impossible to break since it can check almost everything, as you mentioned yourself. There is no any ability to counter Regenerator, the only thing you can do is stacking hazard but this kind of team use Tornadus (Defog)...

Hi there, here some cool sets I'd like to share with you: :weavile: + :cinccino: Weavile @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Technician EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - U-turn - Triple Axel - Knock Off - Gunk Shot If :hitmontop: is probably the most famous combination for...

I'm glad Triage is out because it has been annoying to deal with honestly. Comfey + Buzzwole formed a good core - Buzzwole being able to abuse Triage with Drain Punch/Leech Life/Roost and could hit Steel types while Comfey appreciated SpA boost from Buzz's ability. Now I would like to mention...

When I started playing this tier the only Fighting mons were :monferno: (RIP) and:machoke: while :throh: was banned. Time has changed and it's good to see more versatility and options! Anyway from my own little and humble experience, :virizion: is probably the scariest of them; it can run either...

Would you guys play Body Press or Seismic Toss on defensive Regirock? I tend to play SDef since its Def stat is already high while Body Press is really appealing too as well, I can't decide...

Hi everyone. Imo there is another mon potentially banworthy later or sooner which is :regigigas: Here the set I'm using: :regigigas: @ Leftovers Ability: Slow Start EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Body Slam - Knock Off / Power-up Punch / Toxic - Substitute - Protect I'm pretty...

I won't be surprised if sun/rain/hail get lot of usage even with Drizzle/Drought banned. Mons like :kingdra: :charizard: :poliwrath: :omastar: :kabutops: or :shiftry: might be spammed on ladder. So naturally here what I could suggest to (partially) counter them: :gigalith: Gigalith @ Leftovers...

This must be the biggest change PU has ever known. I don't now where to start to be honest: there are plenty of mons I'd never expect them to drop here. Moreover with all the unbanned mons from PUBL it means we have a completely new tier with almost 100 more mons and I wonder how long will it...

I'm actually surprised :cofagrigus: dropped to PU since it has been one of the best mon NU had so far and it will surely be excellent here as well. :froslass: looks super nice, btw this gen it gained Poltergeist and Triple Axel while having access to Ice Shard so Choice Band should be really...

Maybe we should wait next shift, especially considering we will have massive drops in about 2 months. I think every PUBL should get unbanned at that time.

I recently talked with someone on the chat and I'd like to mention :skuntank: Back in SM, Skuntank was mainly known for 2 things: physical attacker with Pursuit, Taunt etc. or special defogger. If it unfortunately lost Pursuit this gen, it gained Nasty Plot nonetheless and I wanted to give it a...

Quick thoughts on the new drops: :audino: I'm glad it dropped because it's good for my Trick Room team. It can also pair well with Tangela as a regecore. It might be compared with Lickylicky who is naturally immunised to Taunt/Encore and have some offensive presence. :carbink: same as Audino...

:absol: It gained Close Combat which is better than Superpower. With Knock Off, Play Rough/Iron Tail and Sucker Punch, it has an amazing coverage. Imo it's borderline for PU. :altaria: it's a fine mon, it mainly absorbs status and can Defog well with Boots now. I think offensive sets are...

WTF, I'm so excited right now, thay may be the biggest change PU got in its entire history. The tier will never be the same after this. Here the mons I expect being either too strong or quickbanned soon: :mesprit: :zygarde-10%: :kingler: :frosmoth: :rhydon: :guzzlord: and maybe :cinccino: Can't...

:combusken: I think it's a good addition since we lack Fire types. Last gen I used LO + Fire Blast/Focus Blast/HP Rock but the big issue was that you rely on not missing because the chicken's bulk is awful without evio. This gen I want to use Endure + Reversal with either Weakness Policy or...

I don't have know if there is a speculative list of the potential mons dropping to PU - all NFE for sure until potential rises (Golbat?) but here my feelings: - What we could get: :Altaria: / :Walrein: / :Armaldo: / :Relicanth: / :Regice: / :Audino: / :Carracosta: / :Carbink: / Calyrex (?) -...

I'll be waiting for the incoming drops so my opinion will probably change but anyway here what I can tell so far: :Alcremie: I've tried Specs but it was mediocre honestly, it seems much better as a setter. It's hard to revenge kill after some CM boosts if you can't Haze and its ability...

This may have been already asked but: are we getting drops on 22/23.10 or will we have to wait some months?

I'd tend to agree with precedent posts: in my opinion none of these mons are banworthy unless maybe Kanga; they have a decent amount of check or counters with the recent additions of Runerigus/Corsola/Ferroseed/Quagsire/Qwilfish which really help in that way. However my ladder experience is not...

Some quick thoughts about the drops: - Alcremie: a new fairy type looks like a really nice addition to the tier since we have a few here in PU. Excellent typing with good movepool and bulk, specs looks really fine but CM/CM + Acid Armor and Stored power is usable too I guess since its ability...
