Curious as to the rise of :passimian: tbh. For the longest time it was outclassed by Hecidueye and Fire Tauros as Scarf Fighters but I wonder what changed to see it higher up in viability.

I do wonder what people's main point of criticism for ZA pre-release are now that gameplay footage is released beyond "its ugly". Not saying the graphics don't matter at all but I wonder if there's more to it than that.

Largely the power level of NatDex compared to standard Gen 9 balances out Archaludon Rain in OU, and outside of Rain its not the greatest mon? Well its not the worst either but it lacks longevity and its special bulk is ass. In UU Hisuian Goodra is preferable, yes, it sounds weird but that's the...

Only thing I wanna ask is why is Donphan on the rise in terms of well, actually being a viable pick in the meta? Given what seemingly was the main reason it wasn't considered very good, Excadrill, is on the decline, I do wonder what the deal with. And why is Serperior considered well, not that...

I'm wondering the rise for Eelektross, Combusken, and Probopass. (More so Combusken's utility as a Fighting and Fire type option with the amount of quite viable ones still, as well Probopass' general use case)

I think Hisuian Goodra could've been mentioned in the Archaludon section, more so to explain why its the better of the two Dragon/Steels in NatDex Monotype.

I see Rhydon dropping and I genuinely wonder what that means, if anything, for Golem's viability. Not just that but Sandslash too. I do know back in regular DPP the three co-existed just fine, but that was when Explosion halved Defense. Otherwise I think the list of newcomers seem quite neat...

So a quick question: Was there any desire to suspect/free Walking Wake after Tera got banned and if not what puts it over the edge in a way that's not the case in 'standard' Gen 9 OU? Is it a case like Dragapult where Z-Moves break it or something?

Two questions really: 1. Why exactly did pretty much every hazard remover that isn't Cinccino drop? I was thinking maybe Bramble, Tsar, and Tentacruel could have niches on more offensive structures as hazard control but it seems Cinccino simply outclasses them at this role and I'm not sure why...

Why is Dialga not considered very viable, either version of it really, and why is Origin slightly better than the OG? More so I thought it'd be more useful given its a Dragon that on paper doesn't care about opposing Dragons or Fairies.

Am curious as to why Azumarill and Hisuian Arcanine have fallen off not just now but for the past while now. (Was ALSO gonna ask about Mew but its obvious why that dropped)

I know this would probably be better suited for the Simple Questions thread though I do have two questions regarding rises: 1. Why was there such a boost for Snow-related mons? More specifically Abomasnow + Beartic. Did the recent stuff involving snow in tiers like NU prompt exploration of it...

Like who is using these in PU ATM I'm genuinely confused. Top is ladder bait but can't explain the others. When Venusaur is in possibility of dropping to ZU too.

Quick thoughts on the two new guys. Mowtom I'm not sure how exactly it'll fit in. At least in the sense of whether or not it'll be manageable. Unlike H-Trode its speed tier is much worse, in exchange its more initially powerful without needing Specs and has more utility options, but I think the...

Saw the VR and am wondering why Zard-Y received such a boost in viability? Drought definitely has utility in beefing up Protosynthesis mons, and less mons can Tera to resist its Fire STABs, but is there's more to it than that? To a lesser case Mega Venusaur as well.

This actually looks pretty damn cool. I can see the flood of comments saying we were robbed of the 3DS games looking like this instead of the less 'dynamic' look the battles ended up in the final product, but at the same time, considering that Gamefreak had trouble optimizing shit for those...

Thing I have to wonder is how far into development Water Bunny's line got before it got scrapped. How would its design have worked anatomically, how would it change as it evolved? Also my stance on whether *that* one transcript is real or not, it does seem too 'convenient' in line with many...

What's the main advantage "Masculegion" has over its female counterpart? I'm assuming its main use case is on rain but beyond that what's the advantage it has over the other options for physical Water sweepers that you'd forgo female Basculegion on certain rain builds?

Am curious about the following: Particularly the last four. Has Stall been gathering traction lately in the tier? What does Gligar do in particular that makes it ranked decently well in the scope of the bulky Grounds outside of Spikes + U-turn, or is that its main draw? Similarly the...

I just find it both hilarious and sad how dogwater Aggron is. My main guess as to why is probably the prevalence of stuff like the Polis, Hitmonchan, and to some extent Primeape. The typing is just way too bad as you can't really use as a traditional Steel due to the weaknesses (and double...
