100% agree on the Sableye point. I think what I'm trying to say is Diglett essentially pushes an offence archetype to a new power level it can't achieve without the extra trapping. Give the little guy a try with a Special Offence team and you'll see how far you can get with 55 attack when you...

Hi guys, I just cracked the top 500 with my NewYorkTankies account using a Diglett team. This is not a meme I would like to nominate Diglett for OU Viability. Diglett was a crucial piece of my Special Offence team. I won't write a huge essay I'll just give brief dotpoints in support of its use...

Hi guys, I've been doing some playtesting of some BL mons I think are disrespected and so far I've managed to take this team to 1470. Not crazy high, but it is for a bunch of BL's and I'm rarely losing and will keep going: Lead Medicham @ Lum Berry Ability: Pure Power EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD...

I'm not sure if this is the right place but I'd like to propose a Tauros theorymonning set which makes it viable in OU as a wallbreaker. Max speed + nature with max attack Earthquake Double Edge Rage Refresh Tauros is fast and has intimidate, two great assets. Rage allows you to hit out at...

I just cracked into the top 500 using a specs Chandelure. Been following this thread a while and its weird seeing all the whingeing about broken mons and HDB etc. I'm absolutely loving the meta. I feel like there's finally good counterplay for every fat mon that otherwise slows play down and...

Hi peeps, I just cracked the top 10 in NU with my account TryHonesty so I thought I'd share my thoughts on the metagame as its developed so far. The team I've been running is just pretty standard HO like all my teams. The biggest threat in the tier right now is Tauros, with hazard support the...

If you're playing the battle correctly there's almost 0 reason for a team with a Hydreigon to have any pressure. There are way too many fat mons in the tier for the scarf variant to have any impact and the life orb variant loses to almost every decent sweeper in the tier. There is no perfect...

I guess I'm just struggling to view it's potential objectively. Half of the teams you find from 1500 elo + seem like they almost accidentally have at least 3mons which make Hydreigon a complete nonfactor in battles. Properly built HO, Bulky Offense, Balance and Stall teams should never really...

How is Hydreigon S tier when you have to go down to B tier to find mons that don't beat any of it's sets 1v1?

Not a troll. Currently #45 on the ladder.

Uh hi people I'm new to the forums C: I'm going to just post my thoughts on these viability rankings, I recently made I think #53 on the ladder using a team I just built offhand and after looking at the smogon sets I found mine differ so I'll be basing my assessments on that (not on the regular...
