Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I can agree with you on Cinccino, but BIBAREL?! What good is that lame thing? Explain that. Bibarel is slow, frail, and weak. Please explain how that thing could be viable in any tier.
Before Hippowdon moved to OU, they planned on retesting Hippowdon after sand got banned entirely. Such plan had a wrench thrown in it by its rise in usage back in June. So Hippowdon could be allowed in UU for retesting now that sand is banned (and Hippowdon most likely has its DW ability...
I wish Chansey never existed. That fat pink blob is annoying in every tier, even goddamn UBERS! Abomasnow and Hippowdon are debatable. Though Tornadus-I is faster than Scrafty and Mienshao, and has Prankster rain. Even Heracross will perish. Virizion? I'm struggling to think of any redeeming...
Terrakion has dropped a long way from its former glory...dropping 12 spots in the usage stats.
OMG! Politoed dethroned Scizor! Unbelievable!
Keldeo is doing fine, looks like. No concerns. I knew it'd be around the top 30.
Gee..I never knew Scrafty and Mienshao would be in the Top 10 in...
Virizion's been in UU range for awhile, so that's not surprising. I don't care too much about Mew, I always forget about its existence. Keldeo and Chansey are above 3.41 right now but we'll just have to wait for the next two months to see how they fare. Tornadus-I is not surprising; we all hog...
It's great to see Golurk is in RU range. Glad to see him. And Escavalier is doing well in RU. Keep it up, Escavalier! :D
MIENSHAO and SCRAFTY in THE TOP 10 IN UU! THIS IS SURPRISING! I DID NOT EXPECT THEM TO GO TO THE TOP! I AM JUST BUMMED OUT!
GOLURK IN THE TOP 10 IN NU TOO! WOW!
Wow...
I'm perfectly fine with a Pokemon dropping a tier, just there are SPECIFIC ones I'm not too thrilled about, and Virizion is just in that category. I'm perfectly fine with the previous two tier shifts, I felt whoever moved into whatever tier would fit in nicely. I'm fine with Nidoqueen and...
I'm on Virizion's side, and I'm helping it just not to drop. Speaking of Infernape and Reuniclus, they won't drop. They're in the category "Substandard at best but not leaving OU anytime soon". Jolteon and Vaporeon are also substandard. Mew is most likely going to flunctuate between tiers for...
Generally 129 Special Defense is good enough. It can take many hits as well as coverage from Tyranitar and Politoed. Swords Dance is generally better in my opinion since it gives more immediate power to make up for a merely usable Attack stat. Though Calm Mind could be helpful if needed...
Speaking of Virizion, it doesn't have to rely on Focus Miss. Thanks to its offensive stats being 90 apiece, it can go mixed or physical. Focus Miss only applies to the special set, and you don't have to run that. Besides, Rain and Sand are more prominent than ever. I use Metagross and Scrafty A...
