Hi everyone! Due to the gravity of the tier shifts that hit us earlier this month, we decided to revote on the entire VR, to have a new base to restart from going forward. We will now go back to the usual nominations process so please if you think anything should be changing, if you have any UR mon to bring up ranking, or mons to remove, feel free to drop them down below, as well as any questions you may have on these current rankings! As always, I invite you all to join the live vr chat in the UU discord to receive all the updates and to talk about the changes with other people there, as well as members of the ranking council (also the OP is getting updated tomorrow because the sprites were driving me crazy). Here's what has changed:

New Additions:

Why did belli drop? sure torn leaving is a hit but when weavile existed in the tier it was quite popular for dealing with it

H-arc seemed to gain usage as a suicide lead, sun breaker, and in general be a better mon or smth

Serperior has no usage to back itself up so a bit odd on that part to even in scl

What caused the rise of a lot of the 'lower rung' Steels. Mainly Metagross and Jirachi.

For Metagross, the ability to take on rockpon is what sets it apart at the moment.

For Jirachi I am less certain, but others can probably atest to it

Jirachi is almost definitely due to heatran rising meaning no flame body and also being a counter to Latios is more valuable (and torn t not threatening Knock off constantly is nice)

rachi has the same great defensive profile as meta and is more versatile w many sets like defensive, cm, scarf etc
