I was once pro-ban for Shadow Rider. On one hand, Calyrex is incredibly restrictive on team building, making every team have the same YEN core. We’ve also seen Sub-Seed/Disable/Trick Protect Disable sets designed to bypass Yveltal. One the other, there is enough counterplay to handle Calyrex...

Just to bring some…civil discussion into the forefront… Coba was ranked for its fringe usage as a fast rocker that can 1v1 two of the best opposing rockers (Balloon Tran and Clef) while also checking Weav, Scarf Kart, Melm, and Ttar. Its not good at all but its a viable enough to have a spot on...

Confused on why some think A-Exegg is suspect worthy. Was at the 1600s but I’m still not too familiar with NU aside from Dragalge/Mowtom/Indeedee being busted and Vaporeon/Escav/Mudsdale. It seems like a less extreme version of Dragalge. Plus its typing means alot of stuff can threaten OHKOs oIt...

Coba is in :quagchamppogsire: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/ss-ou-dlc2-viability-ranking-thread-see-page-90-post-2242.3674058/post-9260823

Neither of these OHKO Chomp behind veil. All the cool kids are running Lefties Rilla nowadays, which means no more OHKOing Chomp. 252+ Atk Rillaboom Grassy Glide vs. -1 0 HP / 0 Def Garchomp in Grassy Terrain: 250-295 (70 - 82.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery and Grassy Terrain...

Blastoise and Venusaur vibing in the OU VR Anyways, some of the sub-ranks need some cleaning A- > A: Proven time and time to be an excellent glue mon that also doubles as a wincon and rain check. It fills many holes these spike stacking BOs struggle with. It is also one of the best anti-cheese...

Zarude, Kanto-Molt, Rachi, Blissey, and Toge above G-King and Buzzwole.:pikuh: Would like an explanation

What caused Weavile to rise?

Darkfu That mon made every team pack Clef + Regen Pivot in IoA

https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/ss-ou-dlc2-viability-ranking-thread-see-page-90-post-2242.3674058/page-96 Would just post it on the VR thread. Also if Venusaur is gonna be in B tier, put Torkoal beside it since these two are unanimously on every serious sun team.

The VR forms of old gens have players post their own rankings while explaining their placements. With SS becoming an old gen this year, I thought it was fitting if I did something similar. (Also cause the thread is a desert rn) I won’t explain every placement, just the ones I find more...

Clefable

Anyone else think Weavile is somewhat overrated atm? It doesn’t feel overwhelming to me anymore like it was when Band Beat Up was all the rage. From watching wcop, compared to mons like Melm and Torn, its not doing that particularly well despite being so hyped up as top 3 or even potentially...

Weavile @ Life Orb Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Knock Off - Triple Axel - Low Kick Wanted to go Psycho Cut, but Low Kick is more useful outside of OHKOing Shifu. TL;DR, if they go into Shifu as you SD, it’ll eat a +2 LO boosted...

Poliwrath in B tier but Hippo gets UR’d? Someone explain this to me, an outsider.
