https://pastebin.com/uK8S502E My own standard RU team with Fly Z-Crow, Rocks & Spikes, Espeon (to prevent hazards and special attacking pressure), 1 point speed creep on Chestnaught for opposing Chests; Nidoqueen is faster than Adamant non-scarfed Crow, but has some HP EVs for a bit of bulk...

http://pastebin.com/D2EtrRsR (OU) Specs Lele is the wall-breaker, with scarfed Chomp to handle speedy threats (Fireblast for Celesteela). Tail Glow Xurk with Shuca so you can take most EQs. Mandi & Araq are a great defensive core, though watch for powerful Edges. Alolan Dug has Z-Memento to heal...

how I see the community's view on sneasel: "It has Knock Off" how I see the community's view on gallade: "so many moves to choose from!" I will not theorymon but I feel one change to Sneasel (or the Meta) would "fix" not really the tier

I have yet to get my reqs but I figure I give my initial opinions Sneasel is definitely an interesting threat in this tier, sporting the second highest base speed (10 below Swellow) and having the strongest STAB Knock-Off, if I am correct. While I agree with some people's thoughts that because...

Stealth Rock + 3 attacks is still viable I'd say. I am currently using this set in the No Guard varient though I am sure there can be an Iron Fist varient too

Yeah that's the offensive version but in any event a Hex set should be its own

Well even though I said early I never seemed to get an EV spread I 100% liked I normally used Hex on a Bulky Rotom hence why Pain Split. I am not disputing that an offensive set couldn't use Hex but bulky was simply easier to use. Go in on predicted immunity, wilowisp or discharge as needed, Hex...

A personal favorite of mine but I think a Hex set could have it's own distinction in the OP. Wilo/Hex/Discharge/PainSplit it is pretty fun although I never seem to be able to get the EVs right. In any event you have a stab move that has 30% parachance, Wilo for burn and cutting attack in half...

I am curious if you could run CM with Barrier. These thoughts are just coming off the dome and I recognize that perhaps the extra turn to hit Barrier may be a waste but I am sure we could always calc to see the use of the move. I also feel perhaps Barrier would be better over Sub but that's...

Typh I wouldn't say needs a suspect test. Flash Fire is easy to work around in that if you see your opponent has a Typh don't go firing off (no pun intended) attacks. While now you have to essentially play with the idea that every Typh is FF that's okay it's just how you used to always play...

I don't think I was disagreeing with you at all just made a basic statement. Now that the more "centralizing" mons are out of the tier you are right things will become more fun...it may just take some time for newer mons to appear so yes we will probably see a lot of the "old but same" mons...

Looks like NU has taken some hits overall with all the changes in tier. I hardly believe its anyone's fault but yeah NU will either see the same 6-10 pokemon on every team or will have a resurgence of some PU mons into the tier. Personally, I feel like change is always good for a tier and new...

Um.....my point was more when did Virizion and Rupt leave? And did I miss this statement in the 24hrs that I wasn't online....

did i miss something in 24hrs that we lost more mons? can we relabel this XY NU then + 1 mega because this is.....bland now

Mawile is probably the best fairy type of the tier. Now that Mega-Steelix is gone it'll be a revival of Crodino and maybe of Granbull. Overall, the fairies in the tier will remain more or less what they've always been. Gatr was always been checked until now so I never thought it was a big...

I'd just say its one of the many mons changing the meta is all. I haven't finished testing (2200 coil) but I have played with and against it several times. It's less morphing the meta around it than Mega-Lix and like I said it may, along with the other new mons/releases, provide further good...

So with that said wouldn't Helio, if it ascends, go back to poor usage? I have played little RU so I don't know that meta too well but do believe Helio could add to the changing NU meta if it would be ignored in RU

Is there particular reason Heliolisk dropped in the first place? Usage or just being outclassed by Jolteon? Yeah its powerful and annoying to deal with but I would see it as a healthy change to the NU meta, allowing for maybe a reemergence of some sets and an inclusion of new mons to the meta...

May I suggest a specially bulky set? Given its physical bulk is so high i never found a problem with running a spdef Gour accompanied by another bulky mon with (somewhat) inverted bulk stats. Just an idea since its the one I always use

I believe I had Ice Punch to 2HKO Vileplume & Claydol (upon switch-in) but when i realized it was basically useless I switched to a sub set
