Next topic: Cottonee. I had previously removed Cottonee from the site due to being non-existant on the ladder and generally bad in this current metagame with Amoonguss everywhere, but a few people wanted it to be discussed in this thread and Annoyer claimed to have used it fairly well on the ladder. While it does fulfill a niche of being one of the better SubSeeders available thanks to Prankster we need to discuss whether that's worthy of an entire analysis (and if it is, whether or not we should be including other sets like priority weather / possibly Memento). You also have to consider that Whimsicott is actually nearing the dropping zone in RU, so is it worth it to write up an analysis that could possibly only be up for a few weeks before something that completely outclasses it becomes available? Discuss.
The bolded part is actually wrong. From last month's RU usage stats:
Quote:
| 28 | Whimsicott | 1588 | 8.123% | 1155 | 8.612% |
And considering the massive wave of newcomers that think that subseed Whimsicott is the second coming of Jesus and it being almost impossible to play 10 ladder games without finding at least 3 Whimsicott, I don't see this thing dropping anytime soon.

Not sure about Cottonee being viable at all yet( Encore+Memento sounds cool in theory and the only other thing that can do it in the tier is Jumpluff) , but there is one thing I know for sure, if this thing has a set, it must not be a SubSeed one.
