to the people who said Quaq would only be good after Palafin banned? What about now? WHAT ABOUT NOW? *ahem* Quaquaval has a solid niche as offensive spinner that works amazingly with its Moxie Ability, being capable of snowballing and speeding past usual checks, do recommend

Since it's mentioned above, what are the thoughts on the Calm Mind set? Iron Valiant @ Booster Energy Ability: Quark Drive Tera Type: Steel EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Calm Mind - Aura Sphere - Moonblast - Psyshock I've been using them, you know...

I've been going with offensive spin and it is Great Fun Quaquaval @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Moxie Tera Type: Ground EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Rapid Spin - Aqua Step - Close Combat - Ice Spinner Having two moves that give +1 Speed and Moxie means I...

I have been using the following set and having a blast! Tinkaton may not have offensive focused stats, but her movepool, type and stats all combo together into the perfect type of all-rounded support wall: Tinkaton @ Leftovers Ability: Mold Breaker Tera Type: Steel EVs: 252 HP / 60 Atk /...

I think Forretress deserves A- at worst as a Support/Defensive mon. It's ability to put and take away hazards are incredibly useful, and Forretress also has a great typing and defensive stats which, alongside Sturdy, means it can do it's job with relative safety, while also doing a decent number...

UU is arguably more hit by the Power Creep we have each Gen than OU itself. Case in point: the Tapus (and to a lesser extent, Mimikyu) might as well have killed Clefable and Azumarill's entire OU viability, since they do their several Fairy-niches better. The result? They fell to UU where every...

Changing focus a bit, I fell that, with these new drops, Latias rather enjoys the following set: Latias: 72hp/184spa/252speed Timid Nature. Life Orb/Leftovers/Dragonium-Z/??? -Hidden Power Fire -Roost -Thunderbolt -Draco Meteor Draco Meteor is STAB and Roost is so Latias can properly wall...

Keldeo's best set really is Scarf, in part because it outspeeds most other common Scarfers, and it's now ridiculous speed lets it check some other mons, such as, say, Mega Aero. But Keldeo has been really hurt by these New drops, since all of them can switch into Keldeo's common moves with ease...

Welp. Looks like I'm back to HP Electric Keldeo for the time being. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Kingdra got a suspect, and I expect it's DD set to be the most used, due to it being a monster in Rain, and actually remaining threathning outside of it. Last, but not least, did we get no rises?

So, looking at all these posts, here are my thoughts: -Suspect Kingdra first, then Pelipper, if they drop, because, right now, Rain isn't broken. -My Babies Keldeo and Amoonguss must not rise, I'm quite reliant on them right now. -Latias will (thankfully) likely not rise, because, again, Latios...

Victini, come back, I don't wanna be Sacred Fire'd and then burned to death. Even with the burn nerf, Entei is still very annoying, thanks to it's ability to slowly wear down your entire team through Burn damage, and will likely once again become UU's best/most used Fire-Type again. Also, I just...

Staraptor is gone! I can now run Raikou as a good flying counter and not worry about being 2HKOed by unboosted Brave Birds. Mew is now back to it's "oh, cool I guess" viability, and will likely go up to OU anyway, before coming back on the Tier Shift after back. Victini is banned, and...

Ze bee is coming back! Now with a hilariously improved speed thanks to the Mega's buff... Yeah, it will be painful. Start stocking on Scarfers everyone!

Watch as next gen gives Swanna some kind of ridiculous boost, so that every Water/Flying type becomes OU, by ban, or usage. Speaking of which, (on Scarf Keldeo at least) HP Grass outclasses Electric, due to Electric's main target (Gyarados) being banned, and Water/Ground becoming rather common...

Z-Psychock targets which defense stat?

Everyone saying Electric is OP/has no viable mons left/Staraptor and Togekiss have no checks: Raikou still exists, and(somewhat ironivally) solves all of the above. Ta-da. On a second note, Mew-clone spam could get pretty good. Mew goes Supernova, kills some stuff, and whoops, good luck dealing...

I think Fire Blast and Dazzling Gleam should be the main options in Psychic+ 2 coverage, due to the amount of things it can hit. As for the Psychic+Psychock one... it is troublesome, since you will always miss something, but I think Aura Sphere may not be ideal due to the afforementioned Sableye...

Is that Mew's viability increasing twofold? Sounds like it. Maybe a trapper set like Magma Storm Heatran could work? Mew DOES learn Whirlpool.

Even though the tier doesn't have anything extremely broken right now, I believe Victini and Togekiss deserve the "honor" of being sumo UU's first suspect test. I don't have much trouble with Victini myself, since 100 speed gets worse every gen, V-Create kills your momentum, and a weakness to...

When is the next Usage Stats and Tier Shifts coming up again?
