I believe Dugtrio is not broken. To be completely honest, this isn't something i'm 100% certain of considering how young the tier is, and how reliant on tier exploration Dugtrio is, as you need to have a clear idea of what strategies you can enable with it, which depends on what the meta looks...

Why should more SV slots come at the expense of other tiers? If there is enough ndubers players to fill 6 slots then you can just expand the number of slots, especially for doubles and draft as their playerbase don't overlap with ndubers' playerbase. In my opinion, more tiers also contribute to...

I think this would be hype as hell even if we can't get a prize. I think we just don't play pokemon for the sake of playing pokemon enough on this website and that's quite sad, and i don't think this tour not getting a prize would be the end of the world

I'd argue bug sucks for the opposing reasons though, being designed to be an early game type to be tossed away later - which match the fact that they usually evolve to their final stage very early (~lvl 20 ish iirc)

I meant ice is hard to use because of its flaws as a typing, not because it is hard to understand - i put way too more emphasis on the type chart thing while that wasn't really my point oops. Ice has many weaknesses - being the worse defensive typing in the game, and also associated with glass...

maybe Ice is deemed a bit difficult to use for beginners considering the numbers of weaknesses of the type, thus the typing is left for the late stage of the games? This is coherent with the fact that early game you're mostly only exposed to the fire/water/grass rps (iirc your starters don't...

I feel like this is the right idea, although there might be other possible ways to execute it. Teammates statistics are tracked (https://www.smogon.com/stats/2026-01/moveset/ for ex), and in some instances you can even recognise ladder teams in them. If the variance of usage among the 5 most...
