Resource NU Viability Rankings

APOGRAPHA said:
  1. Mediocre spinner that is incredibly reliant on keeping it's boots
  2. It's only offensive mode is the very telegraphed Tera Fight + iPress
  3. Brutalized by every common specs user
  4. Cannot reasonably pressure spinblockers

Also a Tera Hog bc Pure Ice type is a terrible defensive type, only time Avalugg is used is in Stall teams with Chansey; acting as an Ice version of Skarmory I guess. (Skarmbliss)

What caused Avaluggs utterly insane drop-off in viability?

All things considered it's not that insane - Avalugg has been NU this generation longer than any other mon. Its honestly more surprising that he's held on this long, but that can be attributed to no other mon really filling its niche as a catch-all physical wall with both recovery and removal. The main issue imo is APOGRAPHA's last point - Avalugg is pretty darn bad at its main job of spinning, as it completely lacks the ability to pressure Houndstone, gets walled out by Strength Sap Brambleghast, can't fit coverage for Basculegion, and has to predict Chandelure's entry with Earthquake while being forced to switch out versus one of the tier's scariest breakers. At least it checks DD Flygon...

igh bruh no BS whens the next VR update, its been damn near 2 months since the last one and we really need to have consistent VR updates like weave had last year

To be fair the meta in most of the tiers has settled down. We're now in our 4th full year of Gen 9 so some players have burnt out and want something new (Champions). As a result of that, overall activity in the threads has settled down as well, hence the long gap between VR updates. Hope this helps
