With this month, we get a gigantic change to the NU metagame. Kabutops, Pinsir, Fletchinder, and Magneton are now NU!!! However, we are saying goodbye to our friend, Seismitoad as he is moving up to RU to combat the giants there.
In this thread you can about the new drops and anything related to the NU metagame. To quote Molk again:
Molk said:
- New Stage - If there are tier shifts, make some predictions on what the metagame will be like or comment on the changes
- Suspect Testing - If you believe that anything is worthy of a suspect test, post about it and why you think it deserves a suspect test. (nothing will be chosen as a suspect until at least two weeks in though, if even that)
- Metagame trends - What are the most common or effective strategies? Are there any Pokemon that you think will rise in usage?
- Top threats - What should the main priorities be when considering a team for NU?
- Playstyles - Which are most effective? Are there any that cannot succeed?
- Cores - What are some popular or solid cores? Why do they work so well, and what can be used to beat them?
- Underrated Pokemon - Just because a Pokemon isn't used much doesn't mean its bad! There are plenty of hidden gems scattered throughout low NU and PU, and possibly even Little Cup!
- New sets - If you have a unique set that you've had success with recently, share it.
and come join us on PS! to talk about the new changes, we are always looking for new people!
