not been playing this tier for long so take with a grain of salt :heart: :quaquaval: UR -> C+ stayed UU by usage for a reason, very good wincon for HO especially with Fightinium Z, with Axel it can break through Amoong/Latias/Sinsistcha and Z allows it to break through physdef guys that are...

Ursaluna Balance - peaked ~1800 https://pokepast.es/23ded0aea1407a6d This team is a relatively standard Pult + Spikes balance team but with non-Flame Orb Ursaluna as an anti-meta pick. Standard sets: :great-tusk: BU 3atks :alomomola: standard mixeddef :skarmory: 219 speed for jolly gambit...

seen a lot of ppl complaining about sleep qb but personally think its a clear change for the better. hopefully council will continue in a positive direction & suspect both kyurem and roaring moon in the near future. also still think deoxys-s & tera blast are banworthy but they seem lesser...

[Fully support QB] :Deoxys-Speed::Serperior::Kyurem::Roaring Moon: [QB - retest within next 6 months] OR [DNB but suspect test ASAP] Terastalisation :Volcarona::Gouging Fire::Kingambit: :Gliscor: OR :Gholdengo:OR Both [DNB] from NJNP::Raging Bolt:& :Iron Boulder: from others: :iron-valiant...

dirge -> :skeledirge:

My VRs - Week 1 of DLC2 (Very subject to change!) Explanations: WilhelmTheOkay maybe consider adding these to the tiermaker (even though they're probably D rank):

i agree with most of this but wanna share the possible exceptions :booster-energy: :cobalion: (Iron Crown) this mon is definitely not staying OU long-term imo, it's facing competition from mons like Gholdengo but lacks NP and recovery and also struggles to make progress vs Ghold, Ting-Lu...

interesting take. i was honestly thinking serp was standing out as one of the highest priority mons for future tiering action, after deoxys-speed and roaring-moon. tera blast ground sets are incredibly good, and glare basically guarantees progress & also introduces an annoying luck-based aspect...

i don't have many replays on hand but just for an example of a LO deoxys team ive used, this one here has Rilla & AV Primarina as offensive pivots, Dirge & Tusk as more defensive utilities, and then Deoxys and Serperior as win conditions. on this teamstyle, serp and deoxys find multiple...

current metagame thoughts :deoxys-speed: lifeorb modest 4atks is so good. seems like the next biggest priority for tiering action now terapagos is gone :serperior: dont waste your time on stellar-blast sets, subglare leafstorm tera-blast-ground is its best set imo, and scarf is ok too. i think...

but why not use spdef Gouging Fire, Volcarona or Heatran?

lol

yep i agree, i think currently Ghold is probably the worst it's ever been. which is nice for the meta. it's still good, obviously, but like, the new additions do really help keep it under control. also, this is great news. good work on listening to the community and acting quickly ou council...

in formats like draft, it can be interesting & balanced to only allow certain mons to tera. this would allow us to free Regieleki, Firepon, Terapagos, and maybe 1 or 2 others. but in OU i just think it's kinda unreasonable to ask for a pokemon+tera ban. i think we should just quickban terapagos...
