    Data Usage-Based Tier Update for July 2025 (August @ #44)

    Yeah so clearly nasty plot broke Tornadus Therian lol. I would not be surprised if it rises to ou 2 months from now.

    I am not really sure about jumping into the tera blast discussion at the moment due to me not knowing how I feel about it but I did want to at least address this comment because it is not true. There are plenty of people who think Dragonite is at least very problematic because of tera/tera...

    I was going to make a post saying why Zama should drop to S- but this sums up a lot of my thoughts perfectly. IDBP is too mu reliant and AoA is pretty weak in comparison given Zamazenta's below average attack stat (at least in my opinion) in this meta.

    I agree with all of this (except the bit about Tinkaton since I am pretty sure it became ou because of Roaring Moon not Kyurem). Wogerpon is really strong and it is definitely one of the best pokemon in the metagame but that doesn't automatically mean it is broken. Wogerpon has enough holding it...

    Ok so I will say you were right about Ceruledge that is my mistake lol. Still though I never said these pokemon were perfect checks nor the only ones. I know that Wogerpon has quite a bit of set variety but pretty much every other pokemon in the metagame also does. I was just saying that it is...

    But Wogerpon does have decent answers. Zamazenta, Dragonite, Lokix, Kyurem, Dragapult (especially with Wisp), Pecharunt, and even Ceruledge (if you keep hazards off your side) are all solid answers to this pokemon (and as a bonus, all of the ones I mentioned either are or can be physical...

    I never said it wasn't good I was just saying it is THE average speed tier in gen 9. There are just a lot of pokemon that are either faster period or are faster after one turn of set up. Also you are acting like Wogerpon can just force its way through anything when it really can't. There are...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4

    I have 2 reasons for not believing Wellspring should be banned. The first reason is that it is not that fast. Being in the same speed tier as Latios along with its other tools would make it broken in any other gen but in a tier as speed crept as this the speed tier that Wogerpon inhabits is the...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4

    Do not apologize you are doing quite well given how insanely hard it must be to manage a generation with as much insanity as this one. Anyway, speculation time. While I do want to believe that this is going to be either about tera blast or Dragonite, my gut is telling me it is something quite...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4

    Honestly as much as I like using fringe/niche picks in ou I think that the sheer volume of "viable" pokemon is too large even for the biggest underdog supporters. I think that for the moment the amount of variety we have is fine, but we are quite close to a line seperating 2 sides. One side has...

    This is basically what I think. Gengar is still solid but in a meta with as many powerful dark types as this one it has a lot of trouble doing what it does best (which is spamming extremely powerful shadow balls) and it should probably stay where it is. Mega Gardevoir is probably just below Mega...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4

    What is this gen 8? I thought we were done complaining about heavy duty boots. This feels like how stealth rock was treated in gen 4 where everyone hated it and then eventually, they realized it was probably good for the metagame. It feels like this hasn't happened with hdb yet though and I am...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4

    I am very biased towards Dragonite as it is my favorite pokemon but I do feel like it is very 50/50. On one hand the tera normal espeed set was already really strong by itself so having all of these other sets is really dangerous. On the other hand, about 90% of these sets are as good as they...

    That actually brings up a good point. Will gen 9 be over when Champions releases? In theory there will be no new pokemon from champions but a lot of returning mega evos. Will tiering action continue once the Champions ladder is set up or will it be like a...gen 9.5 ou.

    OU ORAS OU Discussion Thread

    Well time to deliver my hottest take I have ever had about ORAS OU. ROCKY HELMET IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM IN THE TIER There are many physical attacking threats in ou and there is not a single viable physical attacking pokemon (that I know of) that doesn't use at least one contact move. From...

    Resource ORAS OU Viability Rankings

    I think Dragonite is slightly more viable than every pokemon up to Mega Gallade but I don't think Dragonite can quite go above that so it could be either 31st or 32nd depending on how good you think Heatran is. As for Mega Altaria, it is harder to say because I do think that the placements are a...

    I will not be talking about Dragalage because I don't think it is that good. Zygarde is pretty cool in theory. It has glare and good typing as well as the best ground type move ever made in thousand- wait what do you mean that move came out in gen 7? In all seriousness though Zygarde is pretty...

    You know when I tried the funny Beartic rain team (which I totally didn't remove Beartic from) I was surprised by how...somewhat strong Pelipper was. It has great bulk and its moves boosted by rain are quite powerful against the likes of Wogerpon and Iron Valiant. I am not saying it should be...
