Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
tier shifts use the usage stats above a rating of 1630 (1695 in ou) so I don't really think that this bad player argument holds a lot of water. ladder does like spamming certain structures (and sometimes specific teams) over others though so occasionally you see some random shitter get a bunch...
zamazenta is the fastest thing that isn't regieleki that is also bulkier than regieleki, which does help you live a little longer I suppose, but the tradeoff is that you get to lose the 1v1 to taunt regieleki 100% of the time as opposed to 50%. I'm wondering what calcs would actually make this...
just a heads up, you formatted the heatran text as being colored white so I can't see it at all on light mode. (no particular stake in the nom, I haven't played since drops)
unofficial usage based tier below zu, anything that has <4.52% usage in zu is allowed there (minus a couple bans for balance purposes)
on a separate note, I am deeply pleased that after 2 years and a long stint in zu oricorio-pom-pom has once again risen from nubl to ru. what a wonderful world...
it's not an inside joke or reference, this is a title added by smogon staff to users who are close to getting banned from smogon due to repeated infractions:
quoted from the global forum rules thread in this subforum.
there was a c+ rank earlier this gen but council removed it, their reasoning being that firstly the pokemon in c+ weren't notably different in viability to the c rank pokemon (with iirc one exception that was moved up to b- rank) and secondly and more importantly having those ranks bloated the...
I haven't really played this tier and forgive me if this isn't the right place to put this but.... what does this guy even do? I initially couldn't see how this is worth using over desolate land pdon, but I did some digging and apparently the reason to use it is you can pull off some kind of...
this thread is mostly for discussing arguments for and against banning weavile, if you're looking to actually vote you need to first meet the suspect requirements laid out in the op and second show evidence that you reached those requirements in this thread. the actual voting process happens...
sorry if this isn't the right place to put this, but deoxys, deoxys-attack, ho-oh, lugia, lunala, necrozma-dm and dw, reshiram, solgaleo, terapagos and zekrom are absent from the banlist in the op despite being banned on ps
heatran was uu in october 2023
even if a pokemon was banned from a tier it will still have had some usage from before it was banned, which is why volc is still there. in other words the usage stats aren't filtered for bans
that's exactly why it's "could move from" rather than just "moved from" - no actual tier shifts are happening, this is just a projection of what could happen in july if the usage stats were to stay about the same in june as they were in april and may
