At the risk of sounding bitter, I'm confused as to why only a simple majority was required for unbanning Crawdaunt. When changing the status quo in tiering decisions, isn't a 60% supermajority required? Admittedly I've been out of tiering stuff for a while so i may be barking up the wrong tree.

Crawdaunt: Keep BL

Ok I've been waiting a while to gather my thoughts before articulating them. I'm glad Shiba has already posted a number of relevant points which I was going to cover, and I agree with most of the things he said. I think Crawdaunt exerts a very unhealthy effect on the metagame. We all know it...

Are there any plans to reclassify the rankings the way UnderUsed have done, i.e. reflecting perceived standing within each rank rather than alphabetically? Or does the metagame with the new non-mega drops need more maturation?

Man this thing is so hit or miss - against slow teams it can eat them alive, but if the opponent is packing either Mega-Houndoom or Mega-Absol it is a complete liability. Definitely need to mention both of them in checks / counters because they can pretty much invalidate its role on the team...

- Sand Veil is uncompetitive. - Gliscor without Sand Veil is not broken. - Gliscor with Sand Veil is arguably not broken , but due to its stats, movepool and the sandy OU environment, it has the potential to exacerbate the unhealthy and uncompetitive aspects of Sand Veil. - Gliscor is not...

I think you're underestimating the vast range of possible team structures within the 'balance' archetype. I'm relatively new on the gen 6 scene but I've got a long history of playing and doing well with balance teams across the gens and tiers. Innovation in teambuilding isn't limited to the...

There are a few viable abusers such as Venusaur and m-Houndoom. In most cases though you are probably better off using them as standalone or paired sun sweepers instead of dedicated your entire team to the archetype, kind of like offensive trick room reuniclus / hoopa function. The rest of your...

Yo can more non-auth join?

Looks like a solid balance team, I like the Fire / Water / Grass core and the way you've tailored the sets to support Gardevoir better. There are two main weaknesses I'd like to point out: 1) The biggest and most obvious weakness that you currently have is a lack of entry hazard removal of your...

Confide and I have arranged to play tomorrow.

In Gen 6 does Payback get doubled damage if the foe has switched that turn?

Tyrantrum: Do Not Ban Despite its unmistakable power and splashability, I believe Tyrantrum remains a healthy addition to the metagame. It is one of the best scarfers in the tier and it has excellent initial power. However there are a number of relevant checks and counters to each and all of...
