:ss/murkrow: Murkrow: A- -> A Murkrow's Mixed Attacker set can genuinely put in a lot of work. Base 85 for both Attack stats along with 91 Speed is pretty good, and Dark/Flying is a solid offensive combo (only three mons in the tier resist both, though they are all viable). For the mons it can't...

Electrode was ZUBL, not ZU :( But on the other hand, freaking Zangoose and the bane of SM ZU? This should be fun. (Edit: Whoops wrong tier. Still though, Crocalor should be extremely interesting)

:ss/dunsparce: Now that Vigoroth has left the tier, I'd like to discuss a mon that I find even more broken than it: Dunsparce. For the most part: the two mons are pretty similar. They are NFE (and by extension, Eviolite-holding) Normal-types that use a set-up move to boost their Attack and...

:ss/Beartic: Hello ZU. I'm just here with a short post going over how absolutely CRACKED Beartic is, and why I believe it should be the subject of Stage 2. First, let's take a look at Beartic's stats. 130 Attack is absurd for ZU standards. Only one Pokemon in the tier surpasses that (and that...

Dear PU, PLEEEEASE let ZU have Quaxwell. If you do not, we will be left without a decent spinner and it will be your fault. Yours truly, the ZU Community.

:ss/sawk: Sawk: S -> A+ Gonna have to agree on this dropping. Don't get me wrong, it's still very good, but it just isn't good enough to be S. Most of the reasons have been brought up above in 5Dots's post, but we also have Palossand, which Sawk is pretty much useless against. The other main...

Oops I misread BDSP's changes post, and this made sense in my head. My bad.

BDSP is still having rises. The reason SS isn't having rises anymore is because SV (the next generation) is coming out soon and replacing SS, so it makes sense to stop rises, to allow the SS metas to stabilize a little before they conclude. BDSP is not getting replaced, so it will still have rises.

You kept Frosmoth, but gave us Palossand?! PU? Please. Do not complain about NU stealing your mons. Ever again. We would've lost Thwackey at the same time as gaining Palossand? Did I drink too much hyrdrofluoric acid last night?

Gonna throw in my two cents on the format, even though I haven't played in a while. I feel like Bo3 (SS, SM, BW) would be the best choice of the four in the post above. As Toto said a few posts ago, burnout issues between SS4 and Bo3 wouldn't change for a well-drafted team. This would also be a...
