Garchomp probably won't be in UU, it'll be BL. I feel like it's way too good to be in UU even in the future, unless there's a new massive power creep.

Drampa should never be used in OU. In NU and PU it has usage due to Specs Draco coming from it being an absolute nuke and it's very good on Trick Room in those tiers. There's much better answers to both in the OU tier though.

Just saying Porygon 2 is RU, meaning it is not that common. Porygon-Z typically runs Adaptability instead of Download and isn't viable either. Dealing with Download was only common when Genesect was in OU.

No reliable recovery, and while Steel is a great typing, it's weak to some common types (Fire, Ground and Fighting).

According to the X and Y analysis, Giga Impact happens on the same turn as Truant. "Using Giga Impact might seem like a good idea, as the recharge turn and Truant turn match up, but Slaking cannot switch out while recharging, making it easily revenge killed or set up on. " Unless something has...

Nothing in OU, but in PU there's Slaking because of Truant being the same thing as a Giga Impact Recharge Boost. Couple it with a choice band and you can do some crazy damage on anything that isn't a Ghost type, or bulky Steel types. Skull Bash isn't used much either.

There's no Life Orb though, so it's weaker than it looks. Weaker than Life Orb TTar.

Hawlucha with Koko support.

Just want to point out, that an Electric type outspeeding Ash-Greninja isn't even a special niche anymore, when Zeraora is a thing (Which I'm pretty sure is the second fastest non-scarfer in the tier). I guess you can say I'm in agreement for an Unranked of Mega Manectric.

While I agree for Mamoswine to stay for most of the reasons you and Jordy said, I don't like comparing a Ground type S rank mon (Landorus-Therian) to a B rank ground type that does different things. Mamoswine is meant to be a wallbreaker, take a hit and do a lot of damage with an Icicle Crash or...

I think the fact that it's a very little chance to OHKO is a bad thing, not a good thing for a raise. You're saying this set lacks power to OHKO the biggest wall in the OU metagame and then Toxapex can get the Regenerator by switching. How is that good for Gyarados?

It's completely outclassed by Mega Alakazam though. Mega Alakazam is much faster and slightly bulkier (It's still frail) so it can switch in to Earth Powers or Magma Storms better (Especially because it traces Flash Fire). It also does roughly the same amount of damage, the only normal Alakazam...

Most Blacephalon are Specs or they don't carry Psyshock on the Calm Mind + Ghostium Z set. And besides, Toxapex can just switch out and get back some of it's health back because Specs Psyshock doesn't kill Sp.Def Toxapex.

The reason why I used Naganadel as an argument was that it was a recent USUM mon that was S rank before it got banned (Really I think it should have been the one case of the use of S+ because it was so busted but that's a different discussion entirely). I guess I could of used Magearna, but it's...

While it is the best wallbreaker in the tier, I'm not sure if it has anywhere near as much as versatility as Landorus-Therian, and it's not a defensive god like Toxapex is (Or even Defensive Landorus-Therian). It only has 1 playstyle and it's just really good at it. I think it's too close to the...

With the amount of discussion on Tapu Koko having a chance of moving upwards with no argument going anywhere I can see Tapu Koko getting blacklisted by Flinchinator. To not make this a one-liner, I support Hawlucha to A- rank. It's one of the most disgusting sweepers late-game and probably the...

"The only mon in A to have had a buff". What about Volcarona having more Defog support?

Pretty sure you can't hit Toxapex with that though. Wouldn't Earthquake be better than Dragon Dance?

Gonna add USUM Pokemon soon? Like Ultra Necrozma?

Actually Necrozma gets Signal Beam now. It's something, I guess. (I wasn't expecting Bug Buzz but Signal Beam is pretty mediocre damage output) Also Gary said they'll be quick-banned still as they're title legendaries. Dawn Wings could get re-suspect tested but I'll hold my breath when that...
