It's not like Registeel's going to be KO'd by Flamethrower, he'll take it for pebbles.
Donphan: Most physically bulky spinner in a heavily physical metagame. Also packs a punch
Espeon: Magic Bounce; one of the best Screeners
Galvantula: Sticky Web
Klefki: Prankster + Thunder Wave/Sub/Swagger/Spikes/Torment/Screens; has a recovery move [Draining Kiss] and a GREAT Typing
Smeargle: Baton Pass teams; Spore; Hazards
Tentacruel: Best T-Spikes setter. Hard counter to Azumarill. Good spinner.
Meanwhile:
Latias: Was hardly OU in Gen 5. Now Ageislash [Resists STABs; Shadow Sneak and Persuit are available to it]; and the Fairy Type exist. Also many special moves got nerfed; and Assult Vest exists. There was no way Latias was staying OU.
Bisharp: Is bad in general. Mega Mawile outclasses it anyway.
Hydregion: There was a bug where you couldn't have Draco Meteor for quite a while. Also a lot of it's coverage moves got nerfed; Fairy Type and Assult Vest makes it less effective.
Deo-S: People probobly think it's banned because of the Quickban of Deo-N and Deo-A.
Deo-D: Hyper-Offensive metagame. Ageislash. Removing Hazards is far easier with Defog.
Kyurem-B: Fairy Type and Ageislash hit this hard. Increase in Priority makes it tougher for it to perform. But yes; people are dumb here.
Magnezone: Dragons are less effective; so Dag+Mag is worse. Also Steel lost resistances. Like to Ghost. Ageislash is the primary Steel you would want to trap...
Manaphy: No more Perma-rain
Hippowdon: Sane is not Permament. Basically outclassed by Tyranitar. Was teetering UU before.
Torn-T: No more Perma-Rain = Hurricane Spam is no longer an option.
The only one here who seems to be mistaken is you. A lot of what you listed either is good [Seriously? People are retarded for using ESPEON in OU?]
About the only pokemon you are right on are Starmie; Keldeo; Kyurem-B, Slyveon and MAYBE Hydregion [Although he did get hit hard]. Everything else you listed as 'Why is this UU' did get a significant/massive nerf this generation. Some; like Latias; were obviously going to be UU.
Tornadus-T was a casualty of 'Ban everything to keep Drizzle in the game'. The only reason it went Uber was because of RainHurricanes. Just like Manaphy. And Swift Swim + Drizzle. And Thunderus.
Bisharp: 20 more base speed (which actually matters against some dedicated walls, as MegaMawile is so damn sloooow) with Dark/Steel STAB combination being so much better this Generation. BTW if you switch on Sticky Web/Defog and Swords Dance on switch, his Sucker Punch is stronger than MegaMawiles after +2. So yeah, I don't think he is outclassed in terms of power. And let's face it - both of those rely on it heavily, so point here goes to Bisharp. Also I don't know why someone would mention Fairies here, as STAB Steel attack obliterate them hard (I'm pretty sure Azumarill won't enjoy +2 Iron Head, especially after Defiant bonus). Also he is capable of carrying Choice items, which are worse than SD set, are still ok option to consider. So honestly saying that MegaMawile outclasses it (which ISN'T true) is just false. And in many cases I'd rather pick Bisharp (and he doesn't take mega slot as well). Oh and when we talk about Megas, he has pretty good type synergy with S Rank MegaVenusaur as he can handle both Flying and Psychic attacks aimed on it.
Bisharp: Is bad in general. Mega Mawile outclasses it anyway.
I was going to say "post in the bug reports thread in the PS forum" but someone beat you to it.Hi, I found a big bug in the UU Tier. You can apparently use other Genesect forms like Genesect-Burn. Also, Aegislash-Blade is allowed. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uubeta-75758089
A voice on PS told me to post to this link... I guess I can't trust voices...I was going to say "post in the bug reports thread in the PS forum" but someone beat you to it.
People stop posting bugs here damnit.
lol, why is pinsir OU
SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT KLEFKI
Klefki is a Pokemon.So talking about klefki is against the rules now?
Klefki is a Pokemon.
Anyway, how does Latias fare in UU?
I don't think the mere existence of bisharp is enough to make defog go away. There is always the problem that you can't use any of the other megas (that do very well in UU) if you use blastoise, and the other spinners are just not so great. Latias is just a great pokemon overall, and if bishar is such a huge problem you can always use HP fighting to get him on the switch. (Plus bisharp's usage is rising so there is some chance we will end up in OU)
Klefki is OU and this is UU. If you want to raise a stink about Klefki, do it in the Klefki thread in the OU forum. This isn't the place.So talking about klefki is against the rules now?
I'd recommend just dropping the topic off here, Arcticblast wasn't directing his post solely at you so there's no reason to get defensive.Then half of kemjurs post is off topic. Since he (and many previous posters) are discussing what they consider overated OUs. I just pointed out that what he said about entry on klefki is couldn't be more wrong.
As for Latias, it's a beast in the current metagame. Latias can run many effective sets, the one I love to run is a late-game SubCM set since it is very easy to set up with Bisharp and Escavalier gone, and can even beat Florges one-on-one granted Florges switches into something other than a Dragon Pulse. Latias is unarguably the best Defog user in the tier, but is heavily hindered by Bisharp. Running Hidden Power Fighting on it really isn't an option since Latias needs Roost/Defog/both its STABs to be completely effective. Moreover, Hidden Power Fighting can ONLY deal with Bisharp and Weavile, and again that is only if they directly switch into it. A completely offensive set with Life Orb or Choice Specs is also really cool, since it nukes pretty much everything that doesn't resist Dragon with Draco Metoer, and Latias still has the special bulk to outright wall Keldeo. Latias can even opt to support Pokemon with dual screens, although it does face 4MSS with this since it needs to run all of Roost/Psyshock/Dragon Pulse/(maybe)Defog. Latias's best check is AV Escavalier, since even Hidden Power Fire doesn't always 2HKO while it destroys Latias with Megahorn. Florges also does a good job against Latias, but will lose to SubCM sets unless the opponent mispredicts. Overall, Latias is a dominant force, but it still has issues with a select few common Pokemon that keep it at bay.Anyway, how does Latias fare in UU?
It hits hard and has good priority. 4x weakness to Stealth Rock is its one drawback but Talonflame has that and it's #2.
It's funny because that fucker got banned like twenty minutes ago.lol at manaphy in UU. tail glow off 100 base speed and 100/100/100 defenses. hahaha.
The formula he uses isIs there a ranking cut-off used to determine the statistics for what pokemon constitute OU? Like, only usage statistics for rankings of 1850+ on the ladder will be used to determine tiers?
I ask because the placement of certain pokemon in either OU or UU strongly suggest otherwise.
