Yes ArVaDa-, and I think the true step in accomplishing this is suspect testing. One of the primary differences between our metagame and those like OU and UU is that we don't take advantage of this option. Albeit, OU is not a perfect tier either, but it definitely helps a hell of a lot more if...

Frankly, I believe the source of all this uprising is the fact that Other Metagames (the section of tiering in which Monotype lies) has, traditionally, never participated in suspect tests. This is mainly because the tier itself usually doesn't have a large enough following to bother with such a...

lol I don't think you understand what he's saying. By banning an ability, it's only reasonable that we ban it on all Pokemon with access to said ability as well. Banning Protean means banning Protean on Kecleon, and banning Speed Boost means banning it on Yanmega, as Articuno I said previously...

I don't understand this issue that a lot of people are having with the Zapdos ban. To be honest, I would have been perfectly fine with the banning of any single one Pokemon being banned on Flying, as long as it hurts the defensive/semi-stall core that has been infecting the ladder in the recent...

I got that TM87

I got that TM87.

Rumor, although the calcs may be obvious, I think the main thing that needs to be recognized, above all else, is MegaGross's ability to tank the vast majority of super-effective hits that come at it, and retaliate with a kill. Usually, you might have something with a Scarf that can revenge kill...

ArVaDa-, what I want to recognize is how you say that "Fighting generally wins against steel even with mega gross." Here's the issue with that - it's only by a margin of 7.2%. In my opinion, if a type like steel is winning against another WITH a disadvantage nearly just as often as the opposing...

One point I would like to bring up based upon the MegaGross ban discussion is a comparison to Mega-Gallade. The reason why Gallade was banned was due to two things - an amazing moveset and great offensive presence. MegaGross has both of these things, and more, including better typing, bulk that...
