not quite too old for this, apparently
Hi there.
First, I'd like to extend my middle finger to RU in general, for taking all the good Spikers, Spinners, Bulky Water-types, and Steel-types and giving us... Victreebel. In case you missed it, we lost Dugtrio (to OU), Magneton, Rhydon, Lanturn, Slowking, Smeargle, Scolipede, Klinklang, Druddigon, and Roselia.
So now where do we go from here? Swellow and Braviary somehow managed to stay NU, along with Magmortar, Mesprit and Gorebyss. We know that spikestacking got a lot harder with basically every good spiker gone, leaving things like Garbador, Whirlipede, and Glalie to pick up the slack. We also know that the best bulky Water-types are now Quagsire, Alomamola, and Lapras. Camerupt becomes the most reliable Magmortar check, while Regirock is the best at taking on the birds.
What does this all mean? Who knows. But this thread marks the true beginning of the NU tier. Welcome to Heartbreak.
