Should rlly only buy me as a sub ngl since I havent played for 4 years
Well, it's been a ride and a half, but this'll be where I pull a sweep. There is a slim chance that I'll be back for next year's upl, but that wouldn't be as a player anyways
First I'll stick to thanking all my teammates for this year's edition of Übers Premier League:
Good luck to everyone...
I feel like you're viewing this the wrong way. The usage is low, your point has come across. I personally feel like it's an essential checkmark and the best geoxern out there atm (hp fire thunder moonblast) but fair play, I suppose I'll just take your word for it. But I simply cannot agree when...
That’s fair I guess, although I personally don’t agree with “you should always run focus blast” due to its accuracy, and it not being meant to break pokemon like Blissey anyways. If that’s the end goal you could even opt for mixed close-combat. If pdon ever gets as much as a piece of paper...
Team kinda gets 6-0'd by hp fire geoxern, I'd suggest fitting a mag or dusk mane on the team, or a more spdef pdon (which means it's not eruption). I have an alternate "version" I made like 2 weeks ago, but it has an hydreigon on it so that may be too wild for some people's tastes. I'd suggest...
I wasn't going to respond but I guess I can take only so many call-outs, not getting baited into this again though. After talking it over with some other users I do think bullet seed has a niche in the metagame, as it can PP stall goth and non-wisp Msableye (which is for Yveltal I guess?). But...
This'll honestly be the last post I make here cause I can't be asked to keep repeating and explaining myself anymore (not directed at you MM). As far as I'm aware Msab pretty much always runs Will-o-Wisp, so that point is almost void, but I suppose it's some sort of niche? As for goth, honestly...
The only reason to ever run it is if you're scared of sub ogre, which I don’t think is that common. Maybe people abuse it on ladder, not sure. I personally haven’t seen it anywhere and feel like it’s a sub-par set. I’m not trying to be elitist, but what I gather from this thread is that people...
Bullet seed ferro sounds like a sub-optimal set and also isn't a switch-in... and it doesn't check ogre anymore than the power whip set does. I'll repeat myself again, ferrothorn's main niche is being able to switch-in to primal kyogre and xerneas, and both of those got to a degree compromised...
Also just noticed that neither Latias nor Latios are on the list. Think you should be more concerned about those mons than something that would rank in E-tier.
It was a rhetorical question. What you're doing is nitpicking over something no one wants to dedicate time towards, because it adds 0 value to the tier.
Are you going to write it then? It makes sense to me that people don't want to waste their time on a mon that essentially needs no analysis. You could throw it under D-rank but honestly, It doesn't really matter because apart from some low-ladder lords no one is going to use it anyways without...
+1 252+ SpA Kyogre-Primal Water Spout (150 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Ferrothorn in Heavy Rain: 250-295 (71 - 83.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
+1 252+ SpA Kyogre-Primal Origin Pulse vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Ferrothorn in Heavy Rain: 183-216 (51.9 - 61.3%) -- 96.9% chance to 2HKO...
