Hello all! Here's our second viability rankings thread to represent the post-home metagame.
This is a list of the seventy-two viable Pokemon in SV Ubers, sorted top-to-bottom from most to least viable.
Thread Rules
- Post intelligently. One-liners saying things like "X should be Y rank" without context or supporting evidence are likely to be disregarded or deleted.
- Be civil when debating other users. Any flaming will not be tolerated.
- This thread is for discussion of the viability rankings only. Those wanting to ask simple questions about why something is ranked or how to build a team should look to our
SQSA for guidance.
- Be aware of our
subforum rules and the
global forum rules — they all apply here, too.
The VR Council
The VR Council is a group of experienced players selected to assess any new nominations from the community and vote on them before they become accepted into the rankings. This same council has the same jurisdiction over the upcoming Sample Teams thread. The VR Council also can internally nominate changes to the thread — it then votes on these, just as an individual user would in a post in this thread. We will document all changes to the Viability Rankings in the form of update posts, where votes and associated reasoning are collected in a
spreadsheet. Be on the lookout for these.
The current VR Council is:
Aberforth
Fc
Fogbound Lake
Inder
Kate
Manaphy
SiTuM
