This is only a quick rise/drop month so nothing's happening yet until May, but it sure looks like theres hope for us all.
But LOL @:
| 54 | Altaria-Mega | 3.168% |
The poor thing, how far the mighty have fallen ;_;
| 59 | Pinsir | 3.388% |
| 60 | Muk | 3.337% |
| 61 | Torterra | 3.228% |
| 62 | Cacturne | 3.031% |
Finally PU will get some love. We haven't had a ton of drops, and I for one am hyped toabuse crustle.

Manectric dropping to NU seems very weird. With Sceptile gone I don't know if there will be much to stop it. I don't want to run Camerupt or Quagsire on every team. I'm probably forgetting a shit ton more checks/counters to this thing, but still.
And thank god Crustle finally dropped. I think it should be pretty manageable as it's typing is complete ass, and it's slow. The only hazard remover that DOESN'T lose to it is Prinplup though. Hazard removal in general isn't really required in PU (unless you're using something like Articuno), so I don't think Crustle will be trouble at all in regards to its hazard set either.

| 53 | Cinccino | 4.450% |

| 57 | Typhlosion | 3.954% |
Progress, at least.
Meanwhile, actual possible drops to NU next month include Gastrodon (better in OU than RU, lol), Trevenant, Smeargle, and Aggron. Make of that what you will.

Really was hoping for Aggron/Trev...soon at least.
I'm keeping LO set in mind. W/ its coverage Id hate to be choice locked.
It can just run HP Water to help w/ Don+Camel or Grass for Don+Quag sooo. AV Hariyama+Chan shit on Manectric even with rocks up. SpD MDino and even mixed defenses handles it. AV Mag is shaky, no rocks and Tbolt 3hkos. That's just what switches into it, other stuff can 1v1 by taking a bit and smacking back. Or just beat it offensively. Tauros and Archeops have been picking up more steam lately and outspeed+OHKO w/ EQ. Pyroar as well with its move of choice.

Why am I getting the feeling this is going to be Magneton all over again...
I'm sure it's been mentioned in this thread but when will we see the next 3.41% drops/rises? I feel like May is correct, but am not positive about that. Conk/Sylveon/M.Altaria drops would be neat (although I think Altarianite is banned from UU), and with another month of usage Amoonguss may actually rise to OU - yay stall!
Are you kidding me.

Hey OU, if you could learn to use bulky walls, that would be great. Thanks.
I've waited a long time for Cacturne to drop to PU

Hey OU,
Stop using Amoonguss!
Thanks!

Hey, at least Seismitoad's actually good in RU. Unlike a few other mons that are still up there.... (And I won't mention their names either)

oh you mean Ambipom, the best FAKE OUT user ever. I don't get why every one tells me to not use it. After all Fake Out has the ability to FLINCH 100% of the time which means it is good for getting free damage. Not to mention it gets STAB LAST RESORT. Don't worry things like MEGA STEELIX don't exsist which makes it easy to get Ambipom SWEEPS
are you OK
Also, what the fuck is it about Ambipom that makes you want it to drop so much? It's pretty bad in RU but it's not like it's going fix all of NU's problems.
Because it is one of the three worst mons in RU with Cincinno and Typhlosion that get way too much usage in that tier and deserve to drop.
Hey RU,
Stop telling us to stop using a Pokemon that's actually good in our tier when your tier is the one that has at least three unviable Pokemon in the tier!
Thanks!
all these people, and I'm just sitting herr playing Ubers
