Approaching this game with such an inflexible mindset is perhaps not the most conducive to long-term success, especially regarding one of the most potent breakers around. The point is that there is a legitimate time and place when mid game Zapdos is far superior to end game Zapdos for the...

The PU council has made a vote on the pokemon currently listed as PUBL. As such, the following changes will occur: :gs/furret: :gs/hitmonchan: :gs/poliwhirl: Furret and Hitmonchan will be dropped from PUBL into PU. Poliwhirl remains PUBL. Tagging dhelmise and Marty to implement.

As a side note, I feel like PUBL drops have been somewhat glossed over in this conversation. If we are committing to dropping 6 NU Pokemon, then I don't see any reason to not drop Furret, Poliwhirl, and Hitmonchan as well. The metagame will be significantly different and I don't have much reason...

Wanted to say my piece here since I haven't yet with regards to specific rises and drops rather than just which option I prefer. I pretty wholeheartedly agree with the viewpoints of MrSoup and Wanted in 49 States. My takeaway from Wanted's post is less so about the "badness" of the inherent...

5 and 6 are mostly listed here in this thread because I needed a place to include them in the same conversation under the bubble of "PU tiering" but I understand they aren't drops. Still think they're worth discussing. Method 4 I understand does not really follow typical policy but several...

I think we should pursue the NU retrospection method (option 3) or a mix of that and the cutoff philosphy (option 2 + 3). To me, those decisions have the least possibility for a negative impact. I understand option 4 as well, but I feel that tiers being accurate is fairly significant here if...

See: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/a-continuation-of-nu-and-pu-tiering-discussion-and-rising-hitmontop-and-rhyhorn-to-nu.3776348/ To summarize discussion from the GSC discord and to follow up on the previous discussion thread about tiering changes and the recent NU VR update, there has...

I just want to remind that we are also going to pursue drops from NU to PU, but we felt that separating issues between threads would help improve focus on each individual element of drops and rises. On Rhyhorn: I wouldn't rise it. I don't think it has quite enough longevity in the tier to...

To summarize discussion from the GSC discord and to follow up on the previous discussion thread about tiering changes and the recent NU VR update, there has been ongoing discussion about rises and drops between NU and PU, especially since PUCL player signups are currently open and the tournament...

Generally, if the opponent is fine accepting paralysis on their Starmie when you’re playing with Rhydon, Lax, and Tauros, then surely that is plenty enough in many situations to accept that Chansey is technically “walled” by Starmie. Depends what you as a player care about more, I suppose. I...
