  1. Resource National Dex Ubers Viability Rankings [Update #9 at post 335!]

    Samurott-Hisui No replays here but Samurott-Hisui is a decent Pokemon, and by decent I mean C+ level. Ceaseless Edge is a broken move and Samurott-Hisui's great matchup into the tier's two best defoggers in Ho-Oh and Giratina-O makes it worse. I had the most success with Scarf because it...
  2. Resource National Dex Ubers Viability Rankings [Update #9 at post 335!]

    This ranking is the most sensible to me, maybe with some ordering change within subranks but it's an excellent summary of the metagame. Just put Palkia-O in B+. :ho-oh: I'm pleasantly surprised by how well Ho-Oh is faring now in the metagame. 252+ Adamant hits very hard considering the lack of...
  3. Resource National Dex Ubers Viability Rankings [Update #9 at post 335!]

    Because, as I mentioned in my previous post but I think the mods read past it, the ranking for Magearna is wrong, it should be B-. But please drop this to C+. I don't have a strong opinion for Diancie. I will say that it's a very good SR setter as it beats most common defoggers, and if you...
  4. Ubers National Dex Ubers Metagame Discussion

    Goated post bumboclaat The metagame is great right now I feel like, there's still a lot to discover. I don't think there is any outlier in terms of power. Nothing remotely close too being uncompetitive, maybe with the sole exception of Gothitelle. Somehow I feel like the better builder, not...
  5. Resource National Dex Ubers Viability Rankings [Update #9 at post 335!]

    I am more or less satisfied with the rankings so far. Here's mine: S+ :groudon-primal: I feel like PDon got worse. Not that it doesn't deserve its S+ rank, but offensive sets are getting roadblocked by Giratina-O, and PDon doesn't have anything that hugely threaten it worth using over its other...
  6. Resource National Dex Ubers Viability Rankings [Update #9 at post 335!]

    Thanks for the update, I'll post my thoughts later but I think some rankings are off, like for example Alomomola should be B and not B+ based on the votes. you are right, Alo has been changed to B, Ty!
  7. Ubers National Dex Ubers Metagame Discussion

    I think both Pokemon have a significant positive influence within the metagame. One of the best qualities it has is that you can put it in a team and you instantly have a PDon, Mega Salamence, Necrozma-DM switch-in, on top of checking most physical attackers. Not unlike putting Ho-Oh in a team...

    Xerneas: Do Not Ban
  9. Ubers National Dex Ubers Stage 3 - Moonlight Shadow (Xerneas suspect test)

    I'm genuingly baffled by how nuance is lost about proactive playing and building. You cannot win against Koraidon and Calyrex-S just by playing proactively (i.e preventing set-up, punishing set-up by hitting the opposing Pokemon hard, taking a boosted hit and phaze/KO back, priority moves), but...
  10. Ubers National Dex Ubers Stage 3 - Moonlight Shadow (Xerneas suspect test)

    Thanks for your detailed reply. I said Ho-Oh solves a lot of problems in the team builder, letting one be creative with the other 4 slots. But you can absolutely use Ho-Oh-less builds, at the cost of dedicating more slots to cover the metagame. The majority of my teams consists of BO and I...
  11. Ubers National Dex Ubers Stage 3 - Moonlight Shadow (Xerneas suspect test)

    I feel like I need to address some points related to my previous post and Bobsican's reply. And ladder is not representative of a tier because? I'm aware it's not the same as tournament play. This doesn't mean it doesn't support the argument that Xerneas is not restricting the tier. Top 5 mons...
  12. Ubers National Dex Ubers Stage 3 - Moonlight Shadow (Xerneas suspect test)

    I wrote a lot on Xerneas here and so far none of the pro-ban arguments are convincing enough to change my stance. Ubers historically has always been a centralized metagame. It's not unreasonable to accept that some Pokemon will have 70%+ of usage, like PDon after its introduction, YEN core in...
  13. Ubers SV National Dex Ubers Suspect 3 - Voter ID Thread

    Try Kingambit it's hilarious and is surprisingly quite useful
  14. Resource National Dex Ubers Viability Rankings [Update #9 at post 335!]

    Wonderful post as always bumboclaat. You already know what I think of this mon, I think a lot of Zygarde-less teams are unprepared against it and that it can be used as well on various offenses not just HO. Ehhh not sure, at least when I see the current A+ Pokemon I just don't think it is on...
  15. Ubers National Dex Ubers Metagame Discussion

    Thanks for the reply. I'd argue Koraidon with its myriad of sets prior Scale Shot was harder to check than current Xerneas within the current metagame. I hear your point (or Aberforth's). However, considering the competitive balance is not and should not be the same as what other tiers are...
