Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Ok just again gonna nominate this. This will make it an even 50 nominations I made this block (holy cow!)
But I just wanna say I still think :Golem-Alola: also deserves a low ranking. The trouble with me is that I love these silly bad pokemon but surely this can deserve a D ranking. Perhaps if...
So funny enough I've been testing Golem-Alola for a very long time because some of the calcs you can make with him are actually incredibly good. Not to hijack the thread into a talk about him. I will say this: Magnet Pull can be a solid set but I feel as if you are missing out with not using...
Rises
:Slowking-Galar: -> S- : This thing is insane and probably one of the best glue mons of all time. Regen/Slow tele will never not be good and Chilly Reception is bonkers when paired with all the solid ice mons in the tier, chiefly Kyurem.
:Iron Crown: -> A/A- : This has been said but I...
:Golem-Alola: to C or something. Hear me out
It has magnet pull and can OHKO Kingambit or Heatran and 2HKO Corviknight or at least do around 72-86% damage on a single hit (PhysDef build Corv, can also 97.2 - 115.2% when under Tera Electric). Can also OHKO Choice'd Dhengo and has 56% to OHKO NP...
Just pointing out to refresh the convo.
:Torkoal:/:Venusaur: up to at least C+ but I'd be ok with B-. Sun is a much better gimmick than C. It does a lot more work than the other things around that tier. Yes, it's no Hail, but Venusaur under the sun and V Create Sun Banded Victini are both...
I 100% am down for suspecting :Kyurem: but I oppose a rise to S- or the likes. As said before, a team needs to be built around him. I'm not sure if this is the place to discuss this, however, but I simply think it is an unhealthy pokemon. I really dislike the guesswork that goes into it, playing...
If nominations are up I would like to nominate a couple things I felt might have been initially overlooked in the last voting sequence. Or, if not overlooked, just something I would like to keep the conversation going for.
:Blacephalon: > A-/A. I would say A- probably fits a little more, but...
Hey not really gonna ask for much reasoning here (especially since I saw you voted on Aegislash an Blace who I am firmly in the camp of rising but maybe soon!) but I would love to ask if there was any discussion about pulling Sun mon up a rank or so.
I truly believe they deserve the discussion...
Ok I tested a little more and I'm going to change a little bit here.
:Blacephalon: --> A-. It deserves it for every reason I already listed, but it just downright excels at the job it has. Absolutely a threat you always need to consider. I can see this thing rising even further in the future...
That's fair although I will say that it is currently actually b+. I don't think it warrants being that high to be a check to a couple things. It's too lackluster vs most everything else. Plus there are just plain better checks. B- feels better
