Apologies in advance for the Necrozmapost, however as some new developments have emerged, and a substantial period of time has elapsed without any additional posts: I would like to follow up on the state of Mega Mewtwo X, as well as provide an update on vanilla Mewtwo :pmd/mewtwo-mega-x...

I'd argue that it is less severe than it is for M2/MMY. Having a semi-reliable STAB in Low Kick allows MMX to cover most of what the former two need STAB/a coverage move to accomplish, while some of the "considerations" that I've seen—such as Psystrike/Bulk Up on the calc website are fringe sets...

:sv/mewtwo-mega-x: UR -> C (or C+) Mega Mewtwo X may very well be the most misunderstood Pokémon in the entire tier; throughout the history of this thread, this form of Mewtwo has seen a consistent decline in ranking to the point of eventually falling off of the VR altogether, however this...

My argument isn't that Zygarde struggles to fit Glare, but that Zygarde's kit is more predictable than playing the guessing game as to which of the 5+ other Pokémon on the opponent's team is going to be running Twave. There are only so many things that Zygarde can do—and almost all of those sets...

I'll respond to some of these ただ、ちょっと暇だし、他にやることもないから、反論してあげるよ〜。 For the best reading experience, please use Dark Mode. Thank you for your cooperation. Despite Glare being the more powerful move in a vacuum, this actually inhibits Zygarde somewhat as its value makes its presence somewhat...

※ For the best reading experience: Dark Mode is recommended ※ より見やすくするために、ダークモードのご利用をおすすめします。 Banlist Recommendations ⚡Thunder Wave This move has never been balanced, however in a meta like NatDex Ubers where the slightest miscalculation or inconvenience can result in games being lost, this...

I am incredibly disheartened to see the influx of players that openly admit to being inexperienced/bad at the game voting dnb on Webs. The arguments that I have seen presented by the most recent ones (essentially: "just run stall", "actually it's Zacian's fault", and "just beat their setter!")...

I completely agree with your points. I can theoretically see an outcome where Webs doesn't end up destroying the meta, however I cannot see one where the solution doesn't consist of increasing both this tier's teambuilder strain and meta centralization to an even greater extent than it is...

This is not particularly an effective method of invalidating my claims, as it is actually substantiating them. You are effectively telling us that there is a player who is making egregiously suboptimal plays at several crucial moments—yet is somehow still doing well enough to earn a bronze...

I will be voting Ban As much as I love aspects about this meta: NatDex Ubers unfortunately feels very unserious as a tier right now—and while certain aspects of this (low ladder shenanigans; Karen's Acolytes, theme-teams, OU spite-teams—and the rampant cTeaming in high-ladder) can't really be...

:mewtwo: B+ -> B Mewtwo is able to yield decent results when it is paired with Webs and a Life Orb, however, these requirements are rather strict even for a B-Rank Pokemon. Without Webs, Mewtwo quickly becomes overwhelmed by the Speed-Crept Meta, and if it is running Boots, it can often find...

C ->D As much as I love Mewtwo as a Pokemon, I believe that the Miraidon ban has done far more harm than good to Mewtwo. As a general rule, since Mewtwo lacks the necessary Abilities, Bulk, Typing, or Moves (having many decent moves and a terrible Ability will never be better than a few...
