    Data Usage-Based Tier Update for January 2025 (February @ #50) (March @ #65)

    I think that untierable stuff like Ditto or Torkoal has already jumped from ZU to OU in very specific occasions, when the OU meta was favourable

    Metagame np: Stage 14: Song to the Siren (Meloetta remains PU @ Post #13)

    Already on his way of getting stolen

    Metagame NP: Stage 14 - The Phoenix (Oricorio-Pom-Pom banned post 45)

    This tier should be called TU Not "NeverUsed" but "ToxicroakUsed"

    Metagame NP: Stage 12 - Bitter Sweet Symphony (Cloyster + Lucario Banned)

    Yeah yeah I'm just joking and tbf, back then, I didn't think that Gallade was ban-worthy either, but considering that some bans or some RU rises were bound to happen sooner or later, that was just a comment about some possible future developments of a borderline-broken mon that could become...

    :sv/Inteleon: -> B+ Jumping on the Inteleon's :Inteleon: train as well: everybody has realized that the water immunities or the special defensive water types (Vape, Gastro, Milo...) that were supposed to hinder Inteleon are basically absent in this tier, preferring physically defensive water...

    Metagame np: Stage 7: New Americana

    At least 1/3 of the new drops have been banned in NU at some point, so having the feeling that there might be lots of broken stuff is completely legitimate: sometimes maybe not broken, but cheap and still annoying (like the Oricorios, the Shell Smash users or the Zoroark/Migo mindgames) The...

    Metagame NP: Stage 10 - I Must Apologise (post #76 NU Survey)

    After a break, I've returned to playing in this tier and I must say that I find it quite enjoyable, even if it has still a few frustrating elements, but overall most of the games were fun. :Mew: Without any big surprises, the Pokémon that seems quite problematic to me is Mew. It has immense...

    Metagame NP: Stage 9 - Ex-Factor (Iron Thorns and Oricorio-Pom-Pom Banned)

    Alola-Exeggutor :exeggutor-alola: has to face a quite tough competition in terms of Dragon types in current NU, but I'm curious about 2 things: 1) Will it be able to troll the tier with its Custap Berry set? 2) Recalling Gen 8 with the demonic Eggy/Stakataka core, I wonder if it can still work...

    Metagame np: Stage 6: Begin Again

    Nice and appreciated overview (I agree with lots of them) But... but... Malamar :malamar: is definitely one of the scariest drops of this month: not necessarily because of Tera Stellar, but because its weaknesses can easily be turned into resistances with TeraPoison/Steel, which is helpful when...

    What's the current situation of Shed Tail, after discovering that Sceptile learns it? Cyclizar had a fast Shed Tail and, thanks to Regenerator, it could get at least one more. Orthworm couldn't regenerate HPs (reliably), but it provided a slow Shed Tail so you could have an advantageous...

    Metagame NP: Stage 8 - Coming Down (Inteleon & Snorlax Banned)

    Since I'm quite bored at the moment, I felt the need to talk about something random. So, considering the second DLC is on its way, I've decided to gather my thoughts on Duraludon, focusing particularly on its old sets in Generation 8 and evaluating whether Eviolite or Tera can improve them...

    Metagame np: Stage 4.5: Meditation (Medicham Suspect Test)

    Even though I don't see enthusiastic comments about it, I think that the Sub/NP Rotom set is really good, especially because it's generally free if the opponent has a Chansey or Orthworm. :Sv/Rotom: I don't like the WoW/Hex version because this tier has Pyroar or other normal types in...

    Metagame NP: Stage 6 - Don't Rain On My Parade (quickbans post 10)

    I can't argue with all this big part in the sense that the calcs are factual, but I think that the overall picture depends on one's personal play-style. For example I would personally predict and respond to the opponent switching out from Dazzle or Earth Power: and this might create oppressive...

    Metagame NP: Stage 6 - Don't Rain On My Parade (quickbans post 10)

    I didn't say that 600 BST mons should morally be RU: I expressed a different point after the post you quoted. True, I agree with Bronzong. I'm not completely sure about Altaria and Rajah as Shaymin learns Dazzle and Earth Power. Arboliva can tank, but what can it do back? If Shaymin gets...

    Metagame NP: Stage 6 - Don't Rain On My Parade (quickbans post 10)

    :shaymin: With some reference to the survey, I think that Shaymin should go (I've put 5, the only mon with a vote above 3, personally): I know that there's Goodra, but if you don't use it, having your special walls or resists that get 2HKOed by Choice Specs Seed Flare is very oppressive...
