Your best bet is probably to find some interesting synergies between two or more <OU pokemon. Usually, just replacing an OU mon with a BL one doesn't work so well, unless you replace two at a time! For example, Mana had a nice Arcanine + Roselia team which made good use of their...

Sorry for the long wait Redless. Green = comments Blue = add Strikethrough = cancel Ludicolo has one of the most unique and powerful type combinations in the game, which gives it a multitude of resistances and no special weaknesses. This typing lets Ludicolo check threats like Swampert...

Hello. I think if you're doing Jolly, then White Herb would be a great item to go with it so that you can outspeed and KO slower Salamence. But I don't think Pursuit Tar is very helpful here. It's too passive for the kind of team you're using. And you're not totally in trouble vs Gengar...

blue = add strikethrough = remove [OVERVIEW] Charizard is a fearsome threat in ADV OU, with its powerful Fire Blast threatening a large part of the metagame and its great Speed tier allowing it to outspeed or tie with most foes. It is primarily a mixed wallbreaker that is very dangerous for...

Hello. Forre pert tar mence bliss is a fine lineup, but you need to think about how to stop CMers from destroying you, and a passive mence + Lapras is not helping much against Jirachi and Celebi. Counter or EQ on TTar might help better there for Jirachi.

Hello. Usually SubPass Zap is paired with a) bulky Beat Up Dugtrio to remove Blissey for special attackers behind b) frail but powerful physical breakers like fighters You have neither, so I doubt subpassing is that much better than drypassing with a status move or Roar to prevent setup...

Solrock's main niche as a cmpasser is exploding. It used to be better when you could use it with salac berry and Endure, allowing you to pass the speed boost or boom on the faster target. Unfortunately, this became disallowed as passing two stats was banned.

Moved from ADV forum to Past Gens RMT forum.

This post was moved from the previous ADV LC viability rankings thread to this current thread.

Responding to "Vapicuno's program (i dont think its a method) doesn't produce cutoffs, or tiers, it's subjective data analysis." and "it seems odd to discuss where the cutoff should be rather than discuss where B tier ends and C tier starts (which isn't the same thing)"

Unfortunately I still don't really understand what you're saying. As far as I understand, the way RBY lower tiers does the cutoff is that there is no a priori tier label like C by which the cutoff is drawn, which is consistent with my method, which does not label tiers by viability but rather by...

Hello. This looks interesting. The easiest thing to change would be Ice Beam or Sleep Talk > HP Electric on Suicune. I know you want to cover Gyarados but I don't think it's worth it. Instead, try to play around Gyarados by keeping Zapdos healthy. Suicune is not doing anything in 90% of...

Not entirely sure what this post means but I merely suggested that if tiers are made by the method, then cutoffs should be cleanly separating tiers, not something within a tier. The choice of tier for the cutoff is subjective; the tiers are made quite objectively by the program (difficult to...

Anything above where I mentioned defensive spreads. For those there are no specific EVs, just trends that have evolved.

welcome! more of this

Actually, every OU set except Charizard (which used to be BL) has been mostly updated, but even the forum thread to Charizard is linked at least. It will take quite a while to get the non-OU sets going though. Sets off the top of my head that are not present are CurseBoom Lax, Impish Meta...

Hello, nice team. Apart from the already recommended TWave Zapdos and sp.atk on Swampert, consider also using Curse > Roar for more immediate pressure vs Blissey and defensive Starmie. Unlike the others I agree with Agility Metagross (and would even go so far as to suggest Rock Slide >...
