Is it just me or is the tier not actually updated? It's still displaying last month's mons.

Other Tier 35 Pokes-- November 2025
- Thread starter NotGerald
- Start date
It usually takes a few days for it to update, the challenge code is on the discord if you want to play this month
how do I found the discord?
Signups for the November 2025 tournament are officially open!!!
This metagame, moreso in my opinion than some recent ones, reminds me of classic 35 Pokes metas that made you stop in your tracks when the thought of "I need to account for this pokemon in the builder otherwise my team's going to lose" crossed your mind. For me, that was the realization that shadow ball
was a sleeper anti-meta threat I had not accounted for, and that 
, a pokemon once quickbanned for being too unuseable to allow for another spinner to enter the meta (this was almost exactly 2 years ago), is genuinely a threat and a win condition in this metagame. But fans of more conventional tiers, don't abandon hope yet -- we have something for you too in the form of Pickpocket 
being the current most used pokemon in the entire metagame. Even webs, screens, and paraspam aren't enough to stop this absolute demon from using what it learned in its time in SV OU to mop the floor with the comparative toddlers (and 
) occupying natdex 35 November this year. The tournament scene itself is also heating up, with higher numbers of highly decorated players than ever entering the competition at the same time as we've crowned our second brand-new champion in a row!! I absolutely cannot wait to see what everybody comes up with for this next tournament, and can barely contain my excitement for what we have in store for the tier's top players at the end of this year...
tournament signups -- tournament will be hosted on the official 35 Pokes Discord server, with more details TBA soon! Typically though, these tournaments are two stage tours with fast no-johns rounds!
