Actually he's UU, very very close to the cutoff though. The important thing is that he currently wouldn't be available in this tier if it existed however.Slowbro is OU

Emboar and Magmortar get a chance to shine in this tier.Fire - Magmortar, Emboar, Torkoal, Rapidash, Flareon, Magcargo, Combusken
In all honesty, most evolite pokes kinda suck... combusken however, with speed boost can get off some boosts... however I think a sash+SD would work better, as theres not as much Priority in NU as in other Tiers.Emboar and Magmortar get a chance to shine in this tier.
Emboar: 110/123/65/100/65/65
Combusken: 60/85/60/85/60/55
Both are Fire/Fighting types that can be very threatening.
Both can pull off mixed sets.
Both are neutral to Stealth Rocks.
The one thing that kinda pisses me off is that Combusken will outshine Emboar completely. Why you ask? Speed Boost + Protect + Swords Dance + Fighting Move + Fire Move + Eviolite
With Eviolite Combusken has slightly more bulk. With Swords Dance + Protect + Speed Boost its able to instantly become a huge threat. After one Speed Boost its faster than Emboar and Rapidash (fastest fire type in the NU tier as it stands currently).
So unless Combusken becomes banned, the mixed wall breaking revenge killer Emboar will once again be outshined.
Combusken's most powerful fighting moves are Sky Uppercut, Focus Punch, and Focus Blast. One has 85 power, one has a nasty added effect, and one's a special attack. Also, since both of them would probably be using flare blitz as their main fire stab, Emboar probably has the edge with base 110 HP as opposed to Combusken's 60.The one thing that kinda pisses me off is that Combusken will outshine Emboar completely.

Yes. Also, it, Accelgor, Electrode, Swellow, and Dugtrio make up the fastest five members of the tier.Is Ninjask in here?
I believe it would just be named "U", for "useless".Anyone else think we need a "really NU" tier?
I just want to play in a metagame where shit like Sunflora is usable.
LOOOOL. yeah but he makes a point.I believe it would just be named "U", for "useless".
XDD HORRIBLE CUP!!! Yeah I honnestly think thats viable. that would be such a good metagame lol.I agree that we might need more tiers below NU. However, I'd rather call the tier directly below NU NEU (Never Ever Used, with pokes like Ampharos and Camerupt) and make another tier below it called something like HC for "Horrible Cup" (where stuff like Delibird and Delcatty would go) or something, though the proposed names are just my personal preference. Seriously, last gen NU consisted of three-fifths of all fully evolved pokemon and it's easy to tell that a good amount of last gen's NU pokes weren't even viable in NU (*cough*Delibird*cough*), and NU would still cover too many pokemon if tiers aren't created below it. Unfortunately, I find it unlikely that Smogon would actually create such tiers because it's likely that there might not be enough players to justify creating two new official tiers. At the very least, we should make NU an official tier (with suspect tests and all) this generation.
It will be hard to distinguish between this metagame and just plain trolling. Will Dunsparce vs Sunflora really be that interesting? Actually let's not answer that question...XDD HORRIBLE CUP!!! Yeah I honnestly think thats viable. that would be such a good metagame lol.
Ferrothorn? Overrated? Clearly you're not the most well-versed battler.XDD HORRIBLE CUP!!! Yeah I honnestly think thats viable. that would be such a good metagame lol.
And yeahh, I hate that awesome stuff that kicks total ass in OU is just not used as much in OU as other shit (say, the ridiculously overrated ferrothorn), and has been pushed down to NU to KILL US ALL IN THE FACE!!!
