GSC NU has dropped Arbok, Raticate, Houndour, Azumarill, Farfetch’d, and Dunsparce. They are now PU! PU has also unbanned Furret and Hitmonchan from PUBL. They are now PU! Hitmontop has risen from PU. It is now NU! Going forward with these major changes to PU, input and general discussion...

Generally agree with your post and generally agree with this statement. Having a mon too low is much preferable to having a mon too high. This is why personally I advocate for 6 drops and only one rise. However I think there should still be a level of scrutiny to drops to prevent re-rises. If we...

Congrats!

Option 3 is the only option that follows GSC precedent for rises and drops. Only in the initial creation of tiers, such as when PU was first formed, has a cutoff philosophy been used. In every historic instance of a GSC rise or drop, option 3 has been used. However, option 3 should be informed...

Observations based off the January 2026 VR A1 Rank :gs/primeape::gs/stantler::gs/dewgong::gs/octillery::gs/xatu::gs/porygon: The top tiers of NU have a lot of fluctuation this year. The most interesting bit is that Dewgong has risen two spots to effectively tie Octillery, making it the first...

Also updated the original post of the thread to be more accurate to the intentions of the thread as-is. Removed stuff about council, more focus on drawing attention to certain tiering initiatives/updates, etc. Basically, a more casual place to post about tiering-related ideas so that all info...

I want to post to express my support for keeping the tour as is. It's a tough issue because many of the criticisms pointed out by the OP and proponents are valid, but I believe the benefits of keeping the cups as is outweigh and are the best proposed format. To reiterate the points I agree with...
