I want to mention something about M-Metagross. The 'broken' set that was suspect-worthy and almost banned was Meteor Mash, Zen Headbutt, Hammer Arm, Grass knot. This was the M-Metagross that had M-scizor being the only viable switch-in although Garchomp was annoying. This was the M-Metagross...

I'd like to nominate Tangrowth from B- to B. Tangrowth is, simply put just so fat lol. The AV set matches up very well against both rain and sand and makes a great scout with regenerator. It makes an amazing partner to Heatran since Leaf storm is surprisingly powerful coming off an uninvested...

This post is completely spot on, and explains exactly why M-Scizor and Clefable (this REALLY needs to go back to A+) shouldn't be S rank. However, I feel that Charizard X is a true S rank Pokemon. I mean, M-Altaria can't actually reliably check it because if it comes switches in on the Dragon...

Changing the topic a bit, I'm becoming increasingly sceptical on M-Sableye's positioning. The main problem with it is that it doesn't 'fit' in this metagame where bulky offense/balanced teams are more popular. Also right now, SpA Pokemon are more popular and threatening (such as Manaphy...

Seeing as there has been a little 'no X metagame' (e.g. no megas OU, no scald UU) trend lately, I think it'd be a good idea to promote a no legendaries metagame. A large number of A/S ranks are legendaries and Pokemon like Landorus, Heatran, Latios and Keldeo all have extremely high usage and...

I just realised that Rhyperior is B- rank. It really should be lower IMO. Rhyperior rose in viability in XY almost solely due to it being a great birdspam check, but with birdspam decline it is almost toally outclassed by Tyranitar. I honestly think it should be unranked but that may be too...

I agree with this. M-Gardevoir has almost no safe switch-in's except SpD Jirachi and if you're really worried about it, you can just slap on a pursuit TTar. In a currently bulky metagame, M-Gardevoir's ability to tear apart balance and stall so easily is just amazing. It creates a position for...

Metagrossite: Ban

On a more serious note, I'd like to nominate Mew to A-. I know this was a topic before the last update but nobody had any discussion on it. I think it's safe to say that the decreased usage of M-Sableye has made Mew the pain in the arse that it was in XY (where it was A+). Since Mew fell to the...

Confirming as Notorious544d

Many people seem to agree that Hippowdon should move up to A rank, and I would too if it wasn't for one Pokemon. Landorus-I. I've been using a sand balance team throughout the suspect test and the problem with sending out Hippowdon is that it's nearly always a free switch for Landorus-I. This...

About Magnezone... During the M-Metagross metagame, I fully support a drop to B+. The scarf set was popular in XY as a good bird check but with Talonflame's now running jolly and M-Pinsir's usage at UU levels, the scarf set has become redundant. Also, with M-Lopunny being a popular mega as well...

I want to mention that the whole 'fairies will become overpowered if M-Metagross leaves' argument is quite silly. I don't recall people saying that during the Greninja metagame, despite being dubbed the 'fairy-killer.'

The issue with M-Metagross is that its stats are 'unbalanced.' You have Pokemon who have are fast and hit hard like M-Lopunny, M-Diancie and Latios but they suffer from below average bulk. You then have Pokemon who are extremely bulky like Skarmory, Mandibuzz and Alomomola but they suffer...

I said that the AV set was bulky. I was clearly talking about the band set when I said that its bulk was overrated.

Of course, a comparison between Azumarill and Diggersby/Sylveon isn't very fair but I'm just saying that with Band arguably being the most viable set, some of these Pokemon are somewhat comparable since they are wallbreakers. I also want to point out that Azumarill's bulk is quite overrated...

The problem with band is that it can't switch moves, and this makes it easy to take advantage of. The second problem with Azumarill is that it's so slow. This sometimes makes dedicated walls faster than it which makes it more susceptible to burn/toxic. Being 'impossible' to switch in to...

Changing the topic a little bit, I think Azumarill should move to A rank. The annoying thing about Azumarill is that it can't safely switch into Keldeo's scalds, which makes it a check rather than a counter. This really hurts its ability to switch in as an offensive pivot because Azumarill is...

Regirock has 200 base defence... it can stomach a SE non-STAB CC at +2 and OHKO with stone edge. And if doesn't, then Pinsir needs to go even quicker lol.

So UU is gonna become like the OU M-Salamence era where every team will have to carry a Regirock instead of Porygon2. GG.
