- Start date
All RBY lower tiers are opening up a form to recruit new council members! If you're interested please fill out this short form - even at times the councils are full, its good to know where we have motivated people ready to step up if anyone steps down. https://forms.gle/fXHRnmmJWVb2Nmcn9
ik this is probably unrelated but why dont you guys update anything on the smogdex website?
Victreebel (is supposed to be NU, shows that its OU)

Slowbro (is supposed to be UU, shows that its OU)

The UUBL Pokes still don't have a UU analysis

The UU page doesn't say that Wrap is banned, not even in the analysis of the pokes

minecraft employees are fucking david goggins compared to the people maintaining the dex

yeah no shit, they're employees. nobody here is paid. thanks for bringing the issues up
The changes are recent and take time to update. The analysis work will take a lot longer given the write ups and quality checking. Rome wasn't built in a day. This is voluntary work. If you're overtly going out of your way to complain, why don't you contribute to our development instead? Have a lovely day
1. I know that. If I didn't, I would write this much earlier. But most of these revelations came months ago and important people already had opinions on them. The unbanning of the UUBL trio came months ago, so did the tier shifts of Victree and Slowbro. The Wrap one is excusable, but not the other ones.
2. I'm not a RBY conniseur, not even an OU one. I know these mistakes from browsing the dex when I'm bored. I barely have any opinions let alone analyses on these shifts. The responsibility is on you people, the moderators. I appreciate that you want people that like these tiers to possibly enlighten themselves on things they didn't know by writing analyses and possibly be future mods but for this tier, I'm not the person you guys want.
I'm in the UU council. The Slowbro and Victreebel drops into RBY happened exactly a month ago and not a single official tournament game has been played with either of them yet in this new version of the tier. Any new analyses about them would be mostly speculation. Regarding the UUBL drops , the other UU mons dont have updated analyses either, due to the frequency of tiering changes such as the recent Wrap ban, there would be no point in writing analyses and having them go through QC and GP only for them to be out of date a few months later. Preferably the tier should remain in a consistent state for longer than a few months before writing lenghty analyses.
Thanks for clarifying that analyses about tiering changes like these take more than a month. I am aware that I might have overreacted and I understand the delay.
ruined
Adding my VL, tiers kinda ordered, but only roughly
Rest in peace tentacruel, Hypno and Lapras coming back as well as Wrap being banned not to mention Slowbro dropping was absolutely catastrophic for our former number 1 mon. Swords Dance Hyper Beam Surf/Hydro Pump and like Ice Beam just won't hit the same. It's so sad to see a legend fall off like this.

lapras and hypno being legal was terrific for tentacruel, bro dropping would've also been neutral at worst if we saw play with it and wrap legal. slow top mons is a major boon for tentacruel
wrap ban is the only real catastrophic thing and yeah tent wasn't gonna survive regardless of lapras/hypno/bro's legality without wrap
can we literally just reset uu ladder like the meta has changed like 7 times and the same few people at high elo achieved this in literally like 2021 or even earlier
its literally just not even the same tier so its not ridiculous to want this "special treatment" for this spotlight
