As someone not on the tiering council, my opinion is not super relevant but I'll put my 2 cents in anyways. :Regidrago: - BAN, I don't need to elaborate, anyone with half a brain cell can tell you that this mon is dumb. :Ninetales: - I understand that sun is not necessarily a free win, but...

Some quick initial thoughts on the nuke that fell on our laps, PS started writing this last night and then got sniped by plznostep sadge: Broken: :Ninetales: Sun is revitalized and it's really dumb. Please identify the mon we have capable of switching into +2 Venusaur or Choiced Typh-H...

Some quick thoughts on the bans: Iron Thorns definitely needed to go, literally nothing has changed to make it any less effective in its role as either a HO lead or a DD sweeper. I know some people were arguing that Pom-Pom had fewer opportunities to set up with the more powerful offensive mons...

Time for some meta thoughts, overall methinks the council should have gone further with some of the bans and frankly whenever the next slate comes up, there are a few things I'd like to see go. :Scrafty: Honestly, I am baffled this mon survived the ban slate. Every single argument that I've...

I didn't mention this mon in my last nom post bc I thought that the flaws it had were pretty evident and spoke for themselves but apparently I was wrong, so here I go on a (hopefully) small rant. :Copperajah: A+ -> A I mentioned most of the big reasons that I find this mon unimpressive in my...

Alright, I'll go to bat to defend my nom. For the record, all of these are good points, and the tour usage especially does go a long way in the VR, but I also think that there are more factors at play than what's being mentioned here. 1) While we do lack the many great options for Wish-passing...

VR Nom time! :Mismagius: B+ -> A- When I saw the addition of Slash-A to the tier and the rise of snow for a hot minute, I was lowkey missing Shao bc it was the Hail killer last gen, and I started scanning for Scarfers with that all-important 105 Speed tier, landing on Missy. At first, I was...

Tis I, the washed formerly very active player who's been caught up in school work but has been baffled by the DNB sentiment in the thread. My opinion probably isn't worth a ton since there is no way I can get reqs in one day while keeping up with things on my end, but I figure my 2 cents can't...

Well, since Rabia mentioned it... :Eelektross: This mon is indeed actively reclaiming it's former glory. It slowed down for a while thanks to Jolteon being nigh insurmountable Electric type competition and dudun being the better Coil sweeper, but it's back to doing its thing. I haven't played a...

I figure I'm probably late for giving opinions on the new drops, but dudun is banned which clearly makes my post entirely unique right? No? Well, idc I'm doing it anyways. :Samurott: -> A/A+: This mon is just really scary to fight, especially with the lack of water resists. Personally, I've...

Me: writes whole post justifying ranking Camerupt Also me: triple checks the VR thread convinced that I must have missed it but doesn't triple check voting slate sadge

There's a part of me that wants to agree with you here. Passimian is indeed everywhere simply because the amount of revenge killing it provides with its phenomenal coverage as well as the general offensive power it brings to the table even with a Choice Scarf set. There is a most definitely a...

Alright time for some noms for the preliminary VR :Rotom: - Low -> High Rotom is really good rn, and compresses a lot of roles with a good old fashioned Choice Scarf set. As has been pointed out multiple times in the metagame thread, there are few good ways to actually block Volt Switch, and...

Thrown enough games now to get a general impression of the tier so here's a few thoughts: :Skuntank: This thing is going super under the radar, which is a shame bc the amount of offensive and defensive utility it packs into one slot is really good atm. Are you frustrated by Mabostiff? Did you...

Would rather speculate about 2 weeks from now than read a psychology textbook anyways. I just wanted to talk about some of the mons that I think have some potential. :Jolteon: Okay, I can already hear the guffaws but hear me out. While we can't be sure how many of the eeveelutions we get, I...

Yoooo new shift new VR (at least to some extent)! Finally having some fun with the tier again with Dragalge gone and Gastrodon the godsend to help out with some of the building conundrums, thought I'd do a quick write-up on some mons I've found to be rather good. :Druddigon: UR -> C/C+ I...

Thought I'd get my thoughts in on some of the mons in the meta before the vote on Groundvally, which isn't great timing, but just go with it. :Copperajah: S -> A+/A This mon has always sat on a throne of lies. Is it a fine glue mon on a lot of builds? Yes. Does it dish out a lot of damage...

I probably won't be able to get reqs (honestly, at this point I'm convinced that every suspect will be when I have a bunch of tests going on), but I figure throwing in my two cents can't hurt anything. I think this thread has already established that Groundvally is not broken in a traditional...

It's nomming season again boys so let's get some stuff in this here thread! :Aerodactyl: B- -> B+/A- Aerodactyl is finally in a spot where it can really shine on teams. Yes, the Ground types, especially Mudsdale, are irritating, but there are some huge upsides for teams building with Aero. The...

I guess the next controversial mons in the tier are Groundvally and Blastoise huh? Welp, I guess it's time to have this conversation again, but at least this time there will be something new to talk about. :Blastoise: I've said this before and I'll say it again, the usage and power of Blastoise...
