I've kept quiet on this mon for some time due to the agenda and suspected conspiracy against it, but now that the cat is out of the bag, we should have banned this one before Xern. Its effect on the setup game is incredibly centralising, starving any setup sweeper that isn't a particularly fast...

Hi all! With Thundurus-Therian gone and April shifts soon, two more threats have come to our attention. Iron Hands remains on our radar, but my image editor crashed when I tried to add more delicate and well thought out content to the above graphic, and I'm sure you don't want to read the same...

While Cinderace suspect is still going on, we have decided to do a mini VR slate for the new mons and some minor shifts. Newly Ranked: Rises: Drops: The following Pokemon were voted on to rise from Unranked but did not receive sufficient support to be ranked, and thus remain Unranked...

:sv/ceruledge: :ceruledge: As mentioned in our last ban post, we waited until after the survey to vote, and that vote has now taken place. As a result, Ceruledge has been quickbanned! :ceruledge: Ceruledge This shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody who read the recent survey results -...

Tagging Kris to implement, thanks in advance!

:sv/meowscarada: :meowscarada: As mentioned in the metagame discussion thread, in the wake of the most recent tier shift, Kommo-o has dropped down from OU, and it was mentioned we would do a vote on it. However, after further discussion, to avoid disrupting ongoing tournaments and because...

Tier shifts! It's a doozie this time. A former S rank is back and, in tradition of OU staples dropping to lower tiers this gen, Toxapex is now here. We will also be voting on Kommo-o as it was banned for a Tera set, and Terastal has since been banned. We will also be voting on some other...

MudkipBeans and Ryuji are stepping down from council, leaving me and Arishem as sole Co-Tier Leaders. Thank you for your contributions!

Arishem is now a Co-Tier Leader! Given the enormous amount of work they do for the tier already (including writing several suspect test posts and managing several resource threads), this shouldn't be too big a surprise.

(banner by Baker) This thread serves as a hub for resources for the Gen 8 National Dex UU Metagame. The resources will eventually be moved into here and updated every now and then once a suitable person to manage the meta is decided on. For now, the threads link to their thread cryonics...

Just googled 'illusion song' on Youtube and it got the OK so this is this stage's song now May tier shifts are here. While we only gained and lost one mon, that lost mon just so happened to be an incredibly important glue for a lot of teams, being incredible role compression in the form of a...

Shifts are out and it's a doozie: Rises: :gliscor: NDUU -> NDOU Drops: :zoroark-hisui: NDOU -> NDUU Gliscor leaving is huge as it was on a significant majority of teams for the sheer role compression it provided and the large number of mons it checked. While we have other grounds, none came...

Weavile is now banned!

Lupla is also stepping down from the council. As one of the longest running council members, thanks for your help during your time here!
