I'm very unqualified to vote, but I actively like what Omanyte brings to the tier. Omanyte helps balance Vullaby, some Drifloon sets, and Archen which are difficult for the tier to deal with. Compared to the many other Shell Smashers, Omanyte stands out because its more versatile and generally...

Won ggs

Got reqs, I'm kinda conflicted on what to vote because phys, mixed, and nasty plot without flinches are balanced. Unfortunately, pretty much all teams cannot recover a close game against a boosted vullaby flinch against at least one of roost, dark pulse, terablast ground, steel tera, or endure...

Personally I think sun is fine in uu. In general, it beats unprepared teams but struggles more against teams with defined counterplay. I think the most important aspect of prep is preventing ninetales from going straight to Slither Wing or Venusaur, therefore burning turns and/or forcing...

In general, koffing functions defensively in both tiers, although not having to deal with tera made it much more reliable in swsh. In swsh, it is much better at making progress as it can threaten damage or status on all switch ins in addition to choking regenerator users. In sv, it can be walled...

Got reqs with a Growlithe + Sandshrew team with much more suffering than necessary. I don't know if aipom will be broken enough, but day 1 I think its fine. Aipom is sort of a side grade to Stunky for me, where both are speed control options that are different from the pack thanks to their...

I expect tomatoes to be thrown my direction following this post, but here goes. The LC council is considering, but has not decided on, suspecting Aipom for a potential unban. Other targets for tiering action (Mienfoo, Vullaby, Tera/terablast) either have no clear consensus or a majority do not...

I think that tournament reqs can be fundamentally flawed, especially if the format significantly changes due to shifts (this doesn't really matter for ou) or dlc or other bans/unbans. For this reason, I believe that tournament reqs should only be applicable if games were played in precisely the...
