Why is there no C+ or C- rank? It feels like there was last gen, not sure.

Wanted to add onto this (if that's cool with ya dingbat). Always thought tinkaton was underrated due to how useful it is as utility user + defensive pivot. Solid defensive check to Tornadus-T that can take advantage of its' regen switch-out by setting up rocks; knocking items off incoming...

At first, I was on board with this, but now I am not. Umbreon might not be B+ material. Sorry to disagree with ya council on this decision right after it has been made. :Umbreon: B+ -> A-/A rank - Yes, Umbreon is weak to Zapdos-G and Slither Wing while being seemingly passive. In actuality...

Bless you for doing usage stats for tournaments.

Mew leaving is huge. That was my favorite mon. I love spamming random attacking sets on it to throw people off guard. It was my best friend. I'll miss that pink mouse big time. Aside from the love, Mew was huge in many areas and I think it leaves a pretty big hole. Can't wait to find out what...

This is a new trend this season. Lots of bans with the exception of Weavile. Lot of complaints. Yet...why is it in the polls test every time so many players will say "I love this metagame!" Weavile was a close suspect and happened way too soon (everyone agrees but won't say it outright), the...

My vote goes for fluff! Two resist berries is definitely going above and beyond for the goal.

https://pokepast.es/954fa053d995aed4 - Chople Berry Empoleon Team (Does this work?) :empoleon: :Umbreon: :mienshao: :Zapdos-Galar: :weezing-galar: :Gligar: Chople Berry Empoleon set is based off Shuca Berry Empoleon set. It's a lure for Scarf Gapdos and Terrakion. Started out wanting to lure in...

:Oricorio-Pom-Pom: -> B+ rank - Oricorio-Pom is pretty crazy as a set up sweeper considering what it can set-up on (Hippo, Cyclizar, non-ID Registeel, Slither Wing, Magnezone, Zapdos-G to an extent, etc.) and how well it takes advantage of the wrong choice locked moves (Krook w/EQ, Jirachi...

Hello RU! Here with a new spin on the current RU metagame. Firstly, laddering up to experiment with new teams and different playstyles in the beginning was rough, I lost a lot. But kept going because there is a lot of fun stuff that had to be shared and I needed solid replays and good teams (or...

Heatranator's and Sddi6's teams look dangerous, no lie. Kudos to fluff! for the replays and making Bisharp look like a king. I wish I could've had more time to check out Sneakyplanner's team, very intriguing. Kushalos team gets my vote. I love terrain teams. Thanks for bringing it, Kush.

https://pokepast.es/5399e02e584617b4 - Tactical Offense :Mew: :Entei: :Gengar: :cyclizar: :Registeel: :Amoonguss: This is a weird team based around trying to out position your opponent utilizing u-turn and eject button. It's awkward and I've been working on it the past few days while trying to...

Okay the embodiment of RU, I did now let me live. Ninetales-Alola @ Choice Specs Ability: Snow Warning Tera Type: Ground / Ice / Fairy EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Blizzard - Moonblast - Freeze-Dry - Tera Blast / Dark Pulse...

For the tiering survey I forgot to put Lokix to be looked at. I did put in spikes and heavy-duty-boots though. These are my reasons for why I think those 3 things should be looked at. Lokix - Reason for this is because it gets talked so much in reference to the past couple of suspects tests...

B -> A- = Manaphy has of great ways to set up and it's kinda crazy how difficult it can be to knock it out. Water is a great typing right now and Manaphy has the coverage to hit anything that would stop it from sweeping or punching holes. It's also incredibly difficult to KO because not much can...
