Registeel and Raikou, the latter of which is probably more impactful.
Luckily the UUBL community has done a ton of testing regarding UUBL with no Raikou, but we have no real experience with UUBL sans Registeel. Notably, Steelix did not do well in Raikouless games, mostly because its purpose is to deal with Raikou (immune to bolt, not weak to hp ice or grass). However, without Registeel, the demand for Steelix might go up, since the options for steels are Steelix, Scizor, and lower tier stuff (I doubt people will be running Metang, Aggron or Mawile).

ADV UUBL reminds me of DPP UU, albeit now Registeel being ripped off would make special attackers much scarier since Steel is a nice ‘catch all’ mon that fills in the most boxes.

Raikou, Registeel taken. Huge tier changes. If you'd like to play the peak UUBL format with both of them still in, the side server play.surfnwob.com has the tier frozen in a special category
Figured I'd post thoughts on what's interesting in the new meta. Already posted about the tier without raikou, but here's without Raikou or Registeel thoughts. Note that this is 100% vibes and I'm not that good anyways

-In raikouless it felt as though balance was a losing move, forcing out to the defense vs offense ends. Registeel leaving might exasperate this, as you'd theoretically need more slots to cover what it did, leaning the team as a whole more defensively. But that also leaves more individual weak points for offense to exploit

-Weather will almost definitely be more viable. Any reason you'd use rain was more or less invalidated by raikou because it's just such an overlap with less setup. I remember rain Lunatone being brought a lot in raikouless friendlies, and Registeel gone helps diglett eliminate Chansey for a big power difference on special offense that rain uses. But sun might also be more viable to try and neuter the surfs that are coming while threatening solar beam, and blow through the special walls with fire blast. Sand was also good on the shineslash team, but may require some suspect voting. Hail

-gimmick teams performed well in raikouless. Have mercy if that continues through development

-a theoretical speed pass unban might alleviate some of the para spam so that Maro and friends don't need 4 paralyzed enemies to sweep, but that is a very controversial move and I'm not sure if that's even true

Lanturn is probably the most benefitted by either one gone, so removing both gives Lanturn peak operating conditions as a special attacker. Usable special attack with perfect coverage and good stab, 101+subs, and an awkwardly middle-high speed tier means Lanturn can do a *lot* of things. I think Lanturn needs to be planned for in the builder.

:Miltank:

Miltank

Scizor will probably take on a bulky role rather than an attacker in registeels stead. Morning sun is a decent way for it to fill this role. 4x fire weakness is not super relevant as of yet in development, since most Pokemon need HP ice for Dragonite.

:Steelix:

Steelix being toxic and twave immune while talking less physical damage than Registeel did with a stronger earthquake and access to roar means it can replace Registeel on some teams, the problem is that Registeel also serves as a special tank and Steelix can't when most of the special moves are gonna be super effective or neutral.

:Regirock:

another Registeel alternative. Rock is nowhere near the mixed wall steel is, but 80/100 special defense is nothing to sneeze at. Just unfortunate that there are so many water types

:Alakazam:

alakazam is the clear replacement for fast special attacker with stall breaking options. No Registeel means Psychic/HP water/Calm mind/fourth move is significantly more easy to bring. Can still fire punch for scizor if needed

:Omastar:

omastar doubling as a normal check elevated it to upper top 10 Pokemon in raikouless iirc. Qwilf is still okay though, as both benefit from no Registeel.

:Articuno:

Articuno was tested a lot in raikouless and performed very well, and then some tried it in +raikou and it was still good. Looks worse on paper than it actually is. With Registeel gone too it's gonna be a heal bell staple even with the probable rise of regirock and scizor, who commonly runs steel wing. Now that I think about it, ice type as a whole is sitting pretty. Ice can't cover Scizor and waters, but what are waters doing back, ya know? Perhaps we'll see some innovation with some lower tier mons there

:Slowbro:

Slowbro is poised to be a nuisance, as just stabs cover most of the tier.

:Qwilfish:

Other Water types :Lapras:

Electric type as a whole is massively nerfed without Raikou, and Scizor/Steelix can't handle the waters in the same way Registeel could. Chansey is gonna need to come in a lot vs waters. Refresh Blastoise and tox immune tentacruel have an easier time coming in to spin vs most things. I'm eyeing kabutops, because one Salac boosted swords dance could be pretty good if the hitmons don't develop

:Dodrio:

Normal offense :swellow:

While Steelix will still be an obstacle, the lack of Raikou to revenge the normals becomes apparent. A bander will typically clean the game once the normal resist is gone. The guts users will enjoy the status being tossed around. Often you'll see 2 on one team, and fire blast Tauros may no longer be a meme

Sceptile is a lawless Pokemon without raikou and it's difficult to pinpoint why

:Houndoom:

Miltank wants Houndoom as a teammate to clear ghosts, and a lot of spinner teams dealing with defensive structure might want it as well. Alakazam check, but needs some EV development for HP water Alakazam. Chansey being primary special wall is Houndoom food

:Arcanine:

the increase in Sceptile makes Arcanine increase as well. Sceptile test dropping in uufpl committed war crimes, despite Arcanine being on most teams by default. But in a UUBL context, both Pokemon are less important, so Arcanine is more expendable in this area

fire types :Entei:

A lot of water types will be around, but very few things can actually withstand Typhlosion's sunny blaze fire blast, and Entei being both fast and bulky can spell doom vs a few matchups. Solar beam having such bad distribution is majorly holding them back

:Gardevoir:

wish, wisp, imprison, screens and memento along with decent offense and speed as well as tracing volt absorb/water absorb could be something. If you're trying psyspam it might look like Alakazam-Slowbro-Gardevoir. Espeon could be mentioned as a dark type escape artist though it doesn't lose/benefit more than any other psychic in this change apart from that, really. Still operates on regular cm pass teams

:hitmonlee:

limber plus strong fighting move and stab priority appears good. Dragonite swallows it whole though

:weezing:

weezing has been on a decline with more sporadic usage ever since medicham left. Dragonite and the grounds like donphan have kept it afloat, but now that scizor is gonna be more common, it will still run a similar set, and Steelix is gonna hate to see weezing, so maybe weezing will be back on standard teams.

:dusclops:

Dusclops is my favorite Pokemon in the tier, so I've always shown some favoritism towards it, but with normal spam rising on top of a need for a mixed wall replacement...

You used to just be able to throw Registeel in on Umbreon and have one of the few instances where Registeel actively gains a lot of momentum, because Umbreon has extremely limited set viability in gen 3, relying on toxic and one attack, mostly. Without Registeel around you'd think it would be better, but I genuinely think it will be worse off without. Steelix's roar will mess up the wish/curse/sub pass while talking less damage than Registeel did. Toxic is also considerably worse for Umbreon to take than thunder wave, especially given that it can't synchronize poison back to Steelix. Scizor also sits at the same speed tier and gets to set up on the wish pass or get a free morning sun in. Also does big damage to sub Umbreon if it's silver wind. Regirock loves running fighting coverage. Fighting types are an unknown at this point, but probably rising (especially Machamp). Best case scenario is taunting on a special wall that's replacing Registeel on a team, or Umbreon tricking Lanturn into statusing itself and then walling it

:Exeggutor:

semi accurate sleep, on top of lack of Raikou to outspeed jynx, and lack of Registeel to wall them with regirock and Steelix as replacements, sounds better than it probably will be, especially if Houndoom becomes even more common. Mr mime might look tempting with encore cm thunderbolt in a water meta, but the Registeel replacements leave Mr mime in about the same spot it was before

:Aggron:

Aggron gets mogged by Rhydon everywhere except toxic immunity, but good luck getting it in on predicted toxic when 90% of the tier ohkos it. It needs like 5 more base speed to do anything like endeavor after that, too

:Clefable:

Belly drum :Hariyama:

Raikou gate kept the drummers by outspeeding the adamant ones after Salac (outside of smeargle and linoone (doesn't matter; they extreme speed anyways)). You'd think that after it's gone they'd be more bringable if you trap Sceptile or something, but the meta shift is also going to include more common Crobat to get around Scept, Arcanine with extreme speed, possibly mach punch mons, a lot of roar, some really fat teams, etc. I actually think it's gonna be harder to get belly drum up and running, even for linoone

do not use Trapinch anymore. These were the only two Pokemon it really wanted to be brought for.

:donphan:

not a huge loss in viability, but tentacruel Blastoise and Armaldo being more defensively useful than donphan here is probably gonna cut it down as a default spinner. Band is probably going to be less of a tradeoff

:Hariyama:

I feel like I haven't seen much hariyama recently, and I don't see the new meta being much kinder to it. Machamp was used more in raikouless, but hariyama had a higher win rate. I think Miltank being Miltank kinda eats into hariyama's defensive area while Machamp has more immediate threat offensively. Again, not a big drop, but I feel like I'm seeing a trend away from it and psyspam might be on the way. Maybe it'll be used as the dark check on espeon pass

Well that's my thoughts, I know Wenderz was going to post here so looking forward to that as well as anyone else :)

Hi thread,

As everyone reading this is probably aware already, Raikou and Registeel both rose to OU and therefore are no longer allowed in standard UUBL. This is of course not without consequence on the metagame as they were both almost universally regarded as top 3 Pokemon in the tier alongside Dragonite. There will not be a Viability Ranking update just now as the tier shift just happened, so that will probably wait until after we get some tournaments play in ADVLTL. Nonetheless, I will add onto Erfder's post by reharsing and sharing some of my own predictions regarding the impact on the viability of some Pokemon.

Raikou has always been, among other roles, far and away the best Electric-type in a metagame with a lot of bulky Water-types, notably Vaporeon which used to be really difficult to force out through sheer immediate offensive pressure alone. However, interestingly, Lanturn initially owed its attention to Raikou because it was one of its few non-niche counterplays available, and then came Regice which further buffed Lanturn due to its unique profile of being a special attacker with a resistance to boltbeam. At first I was uncertain of Lanturn's future with the Pokemon the Pokemon that gave it its initial popularity gone, but the Raikou is Kill tour instead made Lanturn more appealing by ever since it was considered the second best Electric-type that did what Raikou was often tasked with : scarring away spikers like Qwilfish and Omastar in the lead position and switch into waters like Vap and Slowbro more easily that the rest of the frailer and non Water resistant UU electrics.

Another interesting to note regarding Lanturn is its SubToxic set, which was seen by some as its best set for its high HP Substitute that allowed it to challenge almost every special wall and notably dominate any non Rest Regice. Key word being "almost" because it was still shut down by Registeel which very commonly carried Earthquake and was immune to Toxic, but now Registeel is gone as well and thus Lanturn loses one of its biggest counters. SubToxic Lanturn also used to suffer from a 4MSS because it had to choose between Ice Beam and Surf, and losing Surf meant losing the ability to break a +1 Raikou's substitute and worsening its Steelix matchups. Raikou being banned in the aforementioned Raikou is Kill tournament naturally lifted the first concerned and Steelix was made much less relevant due to that very ban. Steelix may be less impacted now but those kind of development still likely favor SubToxic Lanturn. So all in all, Lanturn seems to be the Pokemon that benefited from every UUBL tier shift.

And then there are other UU Electrics that have a better chance at shining with Raikou gone, Ampharos being one of them as it is retains the same Special Attack as Raikou and as some useful tools of its own, most notably Heal Bell. It also has good enough special bulk so it can afford to take some Surf from non offensive Vaporeon, Omastar, and Slowbro, which is something that the faster Electric-types like Manectric, Raichu, Electrode, and Electabuzz wish they could.

Similarly to how Raikou was the best Electric-type, Registeel was regarded as the best Steel-type by a long shot. This trait was, as it often is in a Pokemon metagame, very significant, as the UUBL Pokemon list is littered with strong Normal and Psychic-types. A big thing that made Registeel the most popular Steel-type is its massive special bulk that made it much sturdier against Psychic-types even when factoring the potential Fire-coverage and that was more than sufficient to take on other special threats on raw bulk alone, including Raikou and offensive waters. On that end, Scizor cannot compete, but it is still a sturdier Normal check overall due to its neutrality and access to Morning Sun, and is special bulk is more than good enough to take on special threat with resisted STAB like Regice that almost never runs HP Fire. Now that Registeel is gone, other Pokemon like Alakazam and Espeon may be more likely to drop their Fire coverage and Scizor might just benefit from this.

As for Steelix, its relationship with Registeel was interesting : if you could draw a circle containing offensive threats that Steelix keeps in check (which essentially includes Raikou and some normal-types), you could draw a bigger circle on top of this one and add a ton of other Pokemon (Regice, Alakazam, non Sub Vaporeon, Lanturn, Kingdra, Jynx, etc.) to list what Registeel kept in check. That is to say, Steelix suffered a ton from its competition with Registeel, that could also, admittedly by a lesser margin, handle what Steelix was tasked to deal with, and much more. On the other hand, Steelix was also useful at thwarting its biggest competitor, not caring about Toxic, Thunder Wave, or the occasionnal Explosion, phazing any Curse attempts, and threatening it with a STAB Earthquake. So in that sense, Registeel was ironically both a huge competitor and another reason to run Steelix. Unlike Scizor, Steelix can hardly hope to be slotted as counterplay to Psychic-types in a Registeel-less meta as even if they don't pack Fire coverage, the threat of HP Water is still very real with Houndoom around, and the one special threat it could (semi) reliably handle in Raikou is gone too. Steelix's future is still a bit uncertain to me, but its ability to phaze (key against the likes of Miltank), Toxic and Thunder Wave immunity, boom, and STAB Earthquake that make it not Spikes bait for Qwil and Oma remain valuable traits among Normal resistances.

Raikou was the number one special threat a player wanted to handle with their special check, and Registeel was the most common special wall that exploited a lot of passive Pokemon that relied on Toxic to damage opposing bulky Pokemon. With both gone, the number of prime candidates for the role could increase, because a good number of Pokemon with a seemingly fit profile to handle special threat did poorly against Raikou, gave free entry to Registeel, or both. Regice was a capable Raikou answer with relatively unconventional tools like Psych Up and the prime special tank for offense. Its usage dropped by quite a few ranks in Raikou is Kill tournament which was less offensively inclined than the Raikou UUBL, at least going by that particular tournament usage stats. Perhaps story will repeat itself with Raikou gone for a (presumably) longer future, but Registeel leaving too, the balance could instead swing in Regice's favor, since one of its hardest counters just left.

Articuno is another Pokemon that got a lot a popularity in a Raikouless metagame. Its Electric weakness is nowhere near as big of a deal now, and its access to Heal Bell, ease to fit phazing moves like Roar, Spikes immunity, and to a lesser extent Pressure gives it a lot of merit here. Registeel leaving is another boon for Articuno, no longer being left in a helpless state or reliant on a lucky freeze against the golem without Spikes and Roar. There also have been some experiments with more offensive Articuno and moves like HP Grass and even Extrasensory, in order to make it more threatening to Pokemon used to exploit it like Qwilfish, Omastar, and Hariyama, and once again Registeel leaving might make offensive Articuno easier to run.

Umbreon is notorious for its utter passivity, which notably plagued it against SubCM Raikou and Registeel that could farm Leftovers recovery and threaten it with Toxic without having to fear Synchronize. Umbreon's passivity remains a big issue, but its capabilities as a special wall might be better than ever if Alakazam becomes the number one special threat of note. Curse Pass sets have also been toyed with.

And then there are other specially bulky Pokemon like Kangaskhan which were flimsy against Raikou as they lack the special bulk to live more than one hit from a boosted Raikou after Spikes and/or the offensive power to kill the deceptively phsyically bulky Raikou before that happens. Now, most of the special threats are either much frailer (Alakazam) or can't reach the same level of power as Raikou without some CM BP shenanigans (Kingdra), which should make handling special threats in UUBL an all around easier job for Pokemon like Kangaskhan. Speaking of which, Kanga might have even more room with its moveslots now that btoh Raikou and Registeel are gone and Earthquake easier to drop as a result.

One of the things I noticed soon after one of my first few games of UUBL back in 2018 is that there wasn't a single Electric-type, and then Raikou dropped the following year, and then it rose back to OU 7 years later. Bulky Waters in Raikouless has been a topic of discussion several times in the past, and now this state is here to stay. A lot of utility, be it spiking, spinning, healing teammates, etc. is provided mainly by bulky waters, and the absence of Raikou makes stacking waters on the same team easier than before. Some of it has been observed already, I feel like I've seen standard defensive Vap more often in Raikou is Kill than in other tours, and part of that can be explained by Raikou not being here to punish a Vap having to stay to get its own Wish as Raikou gets a free turn to set up.

Another notable one is Slowbro, which doesn't have to worry about Raikou to come in and happily start a one-sided Calm Mind war. A side effect of losing Raikou is Regice becoming more likely to give up Psych Up and thus more beatable, albeit still a significant hindrance, for Slowbro. These two impacts might make Slowbro much more competent against offense in particular, and the same goes for Golduck which has been toyed with.

The water vs water matchup might become more common as a result, to the point that I could see several builds relying mainly on their own water to handle the opponents'. If such a trait happens, it could be in favor of some like Lanturn of course, but also Lapras, which has several tools that play in its favor to win these kind of dittos.

Raikou was the best Electric-type in a tier with plenty of Water-types, one of the best wincons, lead, and UUBL premier form of speed control. Among alternatives to fill that last role, Alakazam is the one with the most similar profile, packing even higher Special Attack and Speed and now enjoying some additional freedom in terms of moveslot and opportunities with Registeel leaving alongside Raikou. However, it is still harder to pilot due to its frailty and the vulnerability to Houndoom which can makes preemptive Psychic clicks risky.

Sceptile is another Pokemon that saw a lot of development in Raikou is Kill. While it suffers from a lower Special Attack and a weak and easy to cover STAB which hampers its ability to revenge kill, its SubEndevour set proved to be a very capable progress maker against a lot of teams, usually being able to force a worthy trade. The threat Grass STAB in Overgrow and Petaya Berry range is also alongside the potential sub or Endevour on a switch in is also quite a weapon to have against the many Water-types.

Similarly, Swellow sub Endevour set on a Spikes immune Pokemon proved to potent, as is Baton Pass and a boosting berry on that same set. Swellow's superior Speed is also very good to have against the aforementioned speedy Pokemon as they are much frailer than Raikou and thus can be more reliably revenge killed by Swellow's STAB. That last benefit also helps Crobat, which also enjoys the fact that the most common Sludge Bomb immunity in Registeel is no more, although it still is easily handled by a lot of other Pokemon.

Another category of Pokemon that saw a good amount of success in Raikou is Kill are the fast Normal-types, now less prone to being revenge killed by Raikou. Dodrio's Quick Attack also becomes more potent as the other forms of speed control are frailer and sometimes willingly put themselves in range by using Substitute over and over, potentially leading to more opportunities to click its STABs. Speaking of which, these clicks might just become easier with Registeel leaving the picture, although aside from Omastar, the other common Normal resistances tend to be even better at this job due to their even superior phsyical bulk (Regirock, Steelix) or lack of Earthquake weakness (Scizor, Armaldo, Dusclops, etc.).

And then there's Miltank, the very strong wincon with tons of utility even when it's walled, which may have an easier time setting up if the meta ends up being slower and bulkier and has the added benefit of not having to fear a potentially losing Curse war against some Registeel variants. A slower meta would also beneficiates Ursaring, candidate for the most self sufficient wallbreaker in the meta.

Another thing I'm unsure of is the future of special offense. We did see CM Pass in Raikou is Kill and some recipients or standalone special threats now don't have to worry about Registeel and maybe Psych Up Regice (as much) anymore. Raikou could be a problem for many of these Pokemon, as even if it could hardly safely switch-in, it could use them as CM bait and was favored to win CM wars due to its natural speed and special bulk. However, that also means special sweepers lost a teammate and (nearly) mandatory member of dedicated special offense. Registeel leaving is on paper good news for a lot of special sweepers, but those might not appreciate having to face a phazing Articuno that breaks CM pass chains or an Umbreon that stonewalls most Psychic-types more often.

Might be a case by case, but Ground-types as a categeory might lose from those shifts, taking away the two most important Pokemon they were used for in the first place. Marowak is an exception is the sense that it gained a lot of attention in Raikou is Kill tournament that introduced a slower, bulkier metagame that made its wallbreaking potential all the more appealing, but Registeel leaving means a common entry point is also gone. This applies to most Ground-types, and just like Steelix, the more niche ones that were mainly used for their Raikou matchup might just lose all relevance, especially with Registeel leaving as well and non Earthquake weak bulky waters like Vaporeon, Slowbro, and Blastoise becoming even more prominent.

There's a couple of more Pokemon that I thought of talking about (Regirock, Cradily even, etc.) but this post is long enough and I want to end it. Expect some changes in the sample teams list as most are now obsolete in the future, before or after ADVLTL.

Thank you for reading, even if you didn't.

Even though Raikou is OU, the teambuilder is telling me that it's legal in UUBL. Is that supposed to be the case? This issue doesn't happen with Registeel.

Lead metagame post Registeel

After such a drastic change in the meta, some dust has settled and I think we've seen enough to post observations on what the lead meta has been.
Generally, they fall into 5 categories- spikes, anti spikes, pressure, sleep, and endeavor. The chart hopefully communicates this a little faster than the lengthy explanation below, but the text will explain more Pokemon than the image does. The letters next to the categories are perceived rarity of these strategies - common, uncommon, and rare.
If you want it even simpler, a triangle is

Omastar -> Physical attacker -> BoltBeam

with everything else kind of surrounding that.

I'll start with spikes, the most straightforward but not most common. It's usually been omastar and glalie, though qwilfish can be mentioned here as well (Qwilfish doesn't have to be spikes though, it might be choice band or attacks plus destiny bond. In that case it's gonna also fit into the pressure category but more disguised). The goal here is clear- set up at least 1 layer for passive damage and blow up or get out for more later.

:omastar:

Omastar can take a hit from the normals, who otherwise have a decent matchup overall. Omastar has been getting moved to the back recently though

:qwilfish:

Qwilfish and glalie threaten damage on the non-band offensive leads and the Pokemon in the endeavor category while offering spikes as a bonus. Glalie is also decent into psychic leads.

:cacturne:

Spikes in the back usually end up being Pokemon like cacturne, roselia, and smeargle, though the type matchup can let them also be in the lead slot as an option, particularly roselia who has the stats to take an ice beam or two. Its unusually high special attack also threatens the waters, but despite being a little offensive in itself, it usually slots into defensive teams.

----------------

:tentacruel:

Then there are the anti-spikers. A lot of teams seem to forgo the whole spikes kit and play spikeless with just a way to keep spikes off. This category also reads as “bulk that's good vs bulk”

:tentacruel:

Tentacruel simply doesn't take much damage from some of these Pokemon and can freely spin to keep spikes off. Glalie is possibly the only spiker that will give it trouble. Tentacruel can also keep vaporeon from gaining too much if it has super effective hidden power and/or toxic.

:lanturn:

Lanturn is the main one here though, as it can 1 or 2 hit ko all the above the water types. Again, glalie being kind of offensive while kind of defensive lets it still set several spikes and claim at least 1 ko vs these guys because it can take more hits from Lanturn, tentacruel, and others while clicking earthquake.

:Regice:

Regice is largely the same as Lanturn, trying to force out omastar, qwilfish and vaporeon but while being able to counter the normals and safely attack into the endeavor mons thanks to thunder wave and type neutrality. The matchup vs Lanturn could go either way depending on the Regice's moves.

:Regirock:

Regirock presents a solid bulk lead into the band normals, and has enough coverage to be tricky vs everything that's not water. It also represents a possible boom spam setup. (Below)

----------------

:Tauros:

The third category are Pokemon that try to force out the lead and get their foot in the door for some early advantage.

Imagine in the picture is Slowbro instead of Alakazam because I am updating this to be current but didn't save it as a separate layer, and feel too lazy to drop it in and erase around it

:Tauros:

Choice Band normal types clicking double edge, return, earthquake, or drill peck (Dragonite counts here, though I haven't seen it in lead much) are a very common sight. Being able to pick up a ko on the entire spikes and anti spikes war, apart from omastar specifically, as well as a bunch of other stuff is big. The opponent will probably just throw in regirock or a steel or ghost type, but it prevented spikes from coming up turn 1 while avoiding the awkward anti spikes mirror. Omastar is one of the Pokemon that stops these from being more default, as even if Tauros is clicking choice band earthquake, omastar can set spikes taking about half- which can be healed back later while putting more spikes down. Tauros or Dodrio can run sub plus toxic or endeavor respectively as a fake out to break down their walls. Slaking can also be used at the cost of using slaking.

:vaporeon:

Vaporeon is kinda the reverse because it can sub on omastar and baton pass the fat sub to a Pokemon that can make massive, quick progress like Marowak, or a swords dancer/calm minder, or Pokemon with the type advantage to threaten ko on omastar or its switch in without dropping the sub. Vaporeon can also protect to scout the normal band's lock in. Any random nonsense not on this board will probably also be handled by Vaporeon lead, but it's becoming increasingly rare as more teams prepare to hard counter vaporeon with things like Blastoise or Articuno in the back.

:Alakazam:

Psychic types can snowball fast with calm mind, so they demand an immediate answer, shuffling the opposing team and getting reveals going. It's not a stretch to say that these will probably also be the win condition and just want to see what comes in so they can form a plan early regarding how to get rid of its obstacle. Some can also outspeed the normals with a sub to scout what they're locked into, and punish them if they're a substitute endeavor or sub tox variant through encore, repeated attack, or baton pass into a corresponding check. Slowbro (common) and Hypno (seldom seen) can buy time with beefy stats and status. The psychic type's high special attack also threatens the spikers (apart from glalie) and tentacruel with huge damage. But Lanturn and vaporeon can potentially get in the way of these Pokemon, depending on the set on both sides. Beware of Alakazam's move diversity- it might not click the move you expect it to. Gardevoir can also be mentioned, as trace gives it a valuable niche vs vaporeon and Lanturn, but once the information that you have Gardevoir is revealed its value gradually slides as it becomes more predictable. Its stat line and inability to properly trace intimidate also make it weak into Tauros and friends. So it's a very commit or quit Pokemon that may be better in the back.

Explosion lead is quite simple- we all know how boom spam works. But the amount of substitute and protect on leads significantly gets in the way of its effectiveness as a strategy here. Regardless, in addition to glalie and qwilfish the following are red flags for explosion leads: Regirock, Golem, Electrode, Solrock, Exeggutor, Shiftry.

----------------

The top of the chart does not have favorability arrows because the interactions depend heavily on the individual Pokemon involved.

:Smeargle:

Sleep is possibly the lowest impact of all these categories, as it can easily be inconsequential in a tier so equipped to handle status. Multiple viable early bird users, natural cure, the rare insomnia users, Lum berry in lead, sleep talk, fast bands, and the distribution of heal bell letting just about every team have it at no cost means sleep will often buy a single turn at best and instantly turn it into a 5v6 at worst. With the exception of smeargle, you also run the risk of sleep just missing. Its users are also typically slower than several of these leads with bad defensive matchups. But there are teams that can do a significant amount of stuff with that turn.

:smeargle:

Smeargle is smeargle, in the lead it probably looks to sleep something and set as many spikes as possible before dropping so that offensive teammates can pressure the rest of the game on several layers. Smeargle could also be endeavor, or destiny bond, or belly drum, or baton pass, or multiple status conditions through toxic, sacred fire, thunder wave, etc. This makes smeargle stand out among the other sleepers simply because you have to play slow Pokemon uncertainly against it.

:Venusaur:

Venusaur is another strong sleep lead, which will typically transition into subseed or swords dance. Its typing also controls omastar, despite not always carrying a grass move. It can be specced to live 2 ice beams from Lanturn or standard Vaporeon, giving it a little wiggle room in those matchups.

:exeggutor:

Exeggutor has seen a large rise in perceived viability, so at some point it might work its way into the lead as a sleeper that pressures the waters, on sun, or doubly incapacitate with explosion. Maybe.

:jumpluff:

Jumpluff is in the chaotic area, as it might be trying to subseed, sleep, paralyze, encore, or a few other utility options. But its unpopularity means you probably won't see it unless you're playing vs a celdanami team or if hclat decides to play uubl.

:jynx:

Jynx has yet to have an established line, but is worth mentioning here.

----------------

:Sceptile:

The endeavor Pokemon basically try to benefit no matter what the opponent does, in most matchups. Whether they attack, switch, or use a status move, these Pokemon benefit in some way, though only to temporary value. This is aiming to get eliminations early at the cost of free spikes, or on the endeavor spam team for Arcanine, linoone, or smeargle to clean up with minimal brain power after.

:swellow:

Swellow will sub down to endeavor the opponent. It typically carries liechi to try and overcome endeavor blockers like ghost types or soft boiled/moonlight/morning sun users. It can also pass the sub or berry to a bigger threat if the opponent ignores it and sets spikes.
:sceptile:

Sceptile does the same but on the special side, and with type advantage versus vaporeon (who can roar swellow) and omastar. Lead Sceptile could also be the less common leech seed though, or just pure offense. You won't know which it is until it gets you, but you also can't afford to let it do whatever it wants, as a switch makes subseed or endeavor more tricky to claw back from.

:Arcanine:

Arcanine, not having endeavor itself, is sometimes seen in the lead on other teams purely to stop these Pokemon through extreme speed while having an overall net neutral intro vs the pool of other lead interactions through HP grass, thief, and intimidate.

----------------

:unown:

Hariyama and Machamp are options that have been used more than once but generally aren't as effective as they seem, possibly stemming from consistency issues? There are other leads, such as raichu or ampharos, but their niche over other leads listed here are negligible or need more exploration.

Here's the funnel visualization at 85% confidence:

If you're unfamiliar with how these work, generally Pokemon further right -or- close to the orange line are "strong" picks (or easy to use) and Pokemon close to the blue line are "weak" picks (or hard to use). Pokemon outside the shaded section are exceptionally so. Of course, this isn't definite- with more data, or in the hands of a different player, any of these Pokemon could perform different than this data suggests

:Dragonite:

Dragonite is clearly a very stable, common Pokemon. It alone accounts for half of the x axis.

:Regirock:

At the time of writing, Maro Paraspam and Curse Tank Semistall teams are the only samples that validate, so the Pokemon in them were artificially inflated in usage in Om bonanza with new players. Partly because they were made 2+ metas ago, they were so far outdated that they did not win a single game vs a team that was not themselves.

(Houndoom weezing Miltank omastar donphan Regice) x1, loss
(Hariyama x5, regirock x4, Miltank x3, Slowbro x5 Dragonite x4 Marowak x5) [4 loss, 1 mirror win excludes unrevealed miltank]

So while I know this doesn't necessarily work this way, if we filter out the sample team results then the following Pokemon have this record:

Dragonite 54.55%
Regirock 80%
Regice 45%
Omastar 43.75%
Slowbro 75%
Weezing 50%
Houndoom 63.64%
Miltank 50%
Hariyama 60%
Marowak 80%
Donphan 22%

Which changes the graph as follows:

:Regirock:

Wenderz · Sep 19, 2026

Hello thread,

Following the loss of Raikou and Registeel, we had the second edition of ADVLTL tour. With all UUBL matches played, many players have shared their personal VRs on Discord. I wo,'t go into detail for every single Pokemon since a lot would echo what I said in my previous post on this thread but will instead talk about trends I observed that I think affects the viability of various Pokemon in the tier. Note that, as always, I am not 100% confident on some Pokemon placement.

Dragonite continues to dominate, seeing over 60% of usage. The mix of its ability to make progress, defensive presence, and support its team with Heal Bell makes it as splashable as ever. I feel like I've seen more and more Dnite opt for the mixed and even fully special route. MixNite has always been really good, and not having Raikou as a teammate anymore could be the incentive to run invested Thunderbolt (or Thunder) to get past the increasingly popular Slowbro, Blastoise, and even Articuno. Dragonite's special movepool and bulk make it quite customizable to suit the need of a team. Weak to Scizor ? I have seen Fire-moves on Dragonite more than once. Iffy against Ground-types like Marowak ? The possibility to switch into Earthquake following with a fully invested Ice Beam can make the difference in game. Have a tough time playing around Weezing ? Heal Bell in tandem with invested special attacks is a realistic gameplan, albeit risky because HP Ice Weez is still very real.

This trend of special oriented Dragonite might also benefit some other winners of the recent metagames development that prefer facing this kind of Dragonite variant than the usual physical ones with HP Flying and EQ (even though these remain viable options for MixNite as well). i'm mainly thinking of Regirock, which is quite resilient into MixNite, Machamp, and Lanturn.

Vaporeon benefitting from Raikou's departure didn't surprise anyone, and one dynamic I think really made adifference is how SubPass now doesn't have to worry about Raikou coming on Vaporeon as it uses Substitute and break it before it get the chance to pass. Sure, Vap could deal significant damage to Raikou with an invested Water STAB, but Raikou had the special bulk that made it affordable. SubPass Vaporeon has always been a very good, dceently customizable set that could punish passive plays and slower switch ins like Regice. Now that Raikou isn't here to do the job any longer, the ability to stop Vap from passing the sub, either by breaking it before it can pass (Qwilfish, Gardevoir, Ludicolo, Lanturn that are willing to invest a lot in Speed to ensure they get the jump over Vap) or to phaze it out (Articuno, Blastoise) while remaining relatively unscathed, are traits I think have even more value than before.

Huge glow up for these Normal resists, especially Regirock. A big part of their recent appeal is due to Registeel's departure, leaving the slot of "all around bulky Normal resist" vacant. Regirock saw a ton of success, serving as a great catch-all Pokemon that can be used in a lot of emergencies to make a difference with its bulk in tandem with Thunder Wave, Explosion, or simply its naturally decent offensive presence. SubPunch also saw quite some use, as it can get quite a few opportunities to get a sub up and force its way against the likes of Curse Miltank and Weezing. I now consider the Regirock matchup key for many Water-types and other Pokemon with a type advantage, which extends to how they fare against Thunder Wave + Rock Slide flinches.

As for Scizor, it has always been a bulky setup sweeper that isn't easy to consistently scare out offensively but also retains Registeel's merit of handling various special threats despite being nowhere near as bulky. In fact, fully specially defensive Scizor has been on the rise since its bulk spported by Morning SUn makes it more than capable at handling Lanutrn, not waring about Toxic. It is also very good into Regice and into any MixNite or even Alakazam that doesn't make a room for a Fire move, all of this while remaining a sturdy Normal resist.

The rise of these two, as well as Armaldo's to a lesser extent, lowered my impression of a few Normal-types, such as Slaking and even Linoone, which both remain very dangerous but now are more likely to face something capable of stopping them in their track more reliably than Registeel was.

The increase of Regirock and Water-types following Raikou's departure is good news for SubEndeavour Sceptile, because it made its ideal scenario more common than before : more Pokemon afraid of Leaf Blade, letting it Sub or simply Endeavour on a predicted switch in. Sceptile feels the most dangerous when it can force out the opposing Pokemon with its standard attacks while still threatening an Endeavour that would bring anything in range of a follow up. With 5 Grass weak (+ Dragonite scared of HP Ice) Pokemon in the top 10 in usage, the likelihood of facing several Pokemon that can withstand Sceptile's hits, letting the opponent choose the least important and send it to take the Endeavour and kill Sceptile afterwards, only decreases, thus giving Sceptile more opportunities to make huge progress in game.

Machamp is an interesting case. The rise of Slowbro should have been bad news as even a +1 HP Ghost is nowhere near a 2HKO, while Dragonite and Weezing both remain common sights. However, many players, myself included, see it in higher regards than before. The mix of decent natural bulk, Fighting-type, and Guts, make it a solid Regirock abuser which is all the rage now. These attributes are also key against Miltank, as Machamp can setup alongside it or scare it from the get go if it's banded. Machamp's qualities up into a plenty of other relevant matchups, such as Dusclops, Kangaskhan, Chansey, and even Weezing. Moreover, more Dragonite dropping HP Flying in favor of special moves only help Machamp at distinguishes itself from other wallbreaker.

Technically, Hariyama shares most of these qualities. However, with Registeel gone and the playerbase's opinion on Chansey falling over time, Hariyama's high base HP becomes less of a factor. Furthermore, while Thick Fat remains an excellent ability in this tier, the rise of Regirock and the increase of popularity of various Water-types, including Lanturn, makes that defensive layer against Fire-types and Regice usually already covered on most team. Thus, I tend to prefer using my Fighting-type to wallbreak and take advantage of status effect instead of serving as a bulky pivot whose profile feels more complementary than before, and Machamp's slightly stronger and faster profile gives it the edge here. Knock Off is still really nice on some Spikes stacking squads though.

A lot of players have voiced dissatisfaction with Chansey lately, to the point that even I with my current placement is on the more optimistic side. Chansey sheer walling capability and utility is still unique to it, but there are several factors that explain the recent doomposting around Chansey. I mentionned in my previous post than Raikou leaving opens up the way for other Pokemon such as Articuno, Umbreon, and Kangaskhan to be used as a team main special wall more freely than before, thus giving Chansey extra competition. But perhaps more importantly, most of the special threats hanging in the upper ranks can deal with Chansey in their own way : Vaporeon and Lanturn's Substitutes live Seismic Toss and can be either passed to something else with BP or try to force Chansey out with Toxic and potentially damage the switch in, Regice has less incentive to run Psych Up in a Raikou less meta and thus is more susceptible to carry Explosion, Sceptile is not unlikely to get past a Chansey trying to stall out Endeavour PPs with an Overgow Petaya boosted crit Leaf Blade, Beat Up Houndoom is still real, etc. Even Alakazam can realistically get past a chipped Chansey with a well timed CM boost and the threat of Synchronize + Lum Berry too.

Add onto that the many Pokemon that can use Chansey as Spikes or setup bait in the higher ranks, and its overall matchup chart starts to look less bright than before.

I value more the utility side of things that the offensive one with my Fire-types nowadays. I've never been too big on Typhlosion, and I think the rise of Regirock, Miltank, and the increased number of Water-types made it worse. On that front, Blaziken's Fighting STAB and superior Attack remains a key point, but its frailty and inability to 2HKO Regirock or a boosted Miltank are problematic. I feel like these guys are harder to pilot now, requiring risking predictions to come in and to meaningfully damage switch-ins.

On the other hand, Houndoom remais very solid, with Pursuit support remaining very profitable for a lot of Pokemon, and STAB Crunch is good enough against a lot of Fire resist, not to mention the super effective hit on Slowbro. Arcanine has gained appeal in big part because it is seen as the best all around answer to Sceptile with its typing + Extreme Speed, a move that is generally handy in a metagame with fast threats physically frailer than Raikou. It is also very good to have against Scizor thanks to its natural bulk + Intimidate that makes the switch in way less risky than other Fire-types. Too bad it tends to really thud into bulkier teams though. Finally, Flareon was a discovery made by Scally_Wagon, serving as a durable Will-O-Wisp switch-ins that can handle other key threats such as Scizor, Sceptile, and Regice while healing its teammates with Wish, although it is very abusable by a lot of Pokemon depending on the last slot.

On one hand it is one of the best answers to Regirock around, on the other it doesn't like the rise of non EQ weak Water-types like Slowbro, being one of the few Pokemon that Sceptile can use to come in and potentially willingly lower its health, or specially oriented Dragonite being more common.

There's much more to talk about but I covered what I wanted for the most part. Expect updates on the thread soon. Many thanks to Erfder, Toasty, and friends who contributed already!

jimmy the card · Sep 21, 2026

Well hello there, you! Toasty here, and with ADVLTL in the books and having had our first taste of a Raikou/Registeel-less meta, 'tis ~~agenda~~ VR posting season. Having spent the past weeks in the trenches as one of the lucky souls drafted to represent our beloved tier, I've had ample opportunity to get stuck in and form a few opinions along the way. I'd be remiss then not to thank Joaf and Erfder for not only drafting me, but having faith enough to play me. I couldn’t have asked for a lovelier team than the MF Glooms for my first team tour. I likewise couldn't have done it without the support of my teammates like Sossa, THE_CHUNGLER, unira, and Scally_Wagon (who ought to have been drafted herself, but I digress!) nor without the cheerleading of BeesInYourChair, bydy, Dinner!!, KingGojira, demonstrations man (Swee-Tee-Sparce), and Celdanami. Much love to you all. Now, without further ado, let the VR posting commence!

S: BL's Big Three

: What more is there to say about this behemoth? Between its versatility, immediate offensive presence, and Heal Bell support, Dragonite gives you very few reasons not to run it. With Scizor now everywhere, however, Dragonite is more compelled than ever to fit Flamethrower despite the move offering little utility outside that matchup. Dragon Dance usage has fallen off somewhat; nevertheless, sleep on the Scally Dragon at your own peril.
:vaporeon:

: Hey guys, did you know that in terms of ... Simply put, if you do not account for Vaporeon in the builder, you lose, its 101 HP Substitutes being the perfect springboard for many a setup sweeper to clean house. This is without mentioning Haze, Wish, Roar, and Acid Armor, much less its reliability at checking Dragonite with Ice Beam. This Island Girl perches on her haunches comfortably in S.
:scizor:

: Say hello to BL's rising star: Scizor! In quest of a special wall capable of replacing the outgoing Registeel, Scizor fills the void and then some. Instant recovery and Swords Dance let Scizor threaten a sweep at any time, necessitating Fire-type coverage unless you enjoy throwing. Choosing coverage is a matter of picking your poison, though HP Ground is generally your safest bet alongside the non-negotiable Steel Wing. How blind we were to you, my sweet.

A+: Licensed to Kill

: Slowbro stonewalls all but a handful of physical attackers, and after a Calm Mind or two, weathering its offence becomes an exercise in futility. If you lack a way to stifle it, whether via Psych Up, Encore, or strong super-effective pressure, the game is liable to be over. As if that were not enough, Thunder Wave can make it an absolute headache to switch into.
:alakazam:

: Scizor’s rise has made three-attack Alakazam far more mandatory, with Fire Punch and HP Water taking precedence over Calm Mind + Substitute/Encore variants.
:sceptile:

: Few Pokémon match Sceptile’s offensive flexibility, as it can either sweep on its own or trade with Endeavor to pave the way for a teammate. HP Water has carved out a niche over Ice to punish Fire-types such as Arcanine and newcomer Flareon, though Dragonite dancing in your face is every bit as awful as it sounds. Celd has had some success experimenting with Pursuit, though I still have my reservations.
:marowak:

: Perhaps the most naturally checked of BL’s big hitters, given our wealth of Waters, Marowak remains a nightmare for stall. One Ancient Power proc oft ends a game outright, let alone two.

A: Best in Class

: Omastar neatly compresses Spikes support, a Normal-type resist, and another Dragonite check in one slot. Oma is all but guaranteed to run Surf, Ice Beam, and Spikes, leaving the fourth slot relatively flexible, whether that be Protect, Thief, Toxic, Tickle, or HP Grass. Swift Swim sets are especially potent because they are so rarely expected.
:regirock:

: Simply the best Normal resist, switching into the likes of Miltank and Kangaskhan with impunity. Scarce few Pokémon can stomach its SubPunch set, never mind a Banded hit, with Bold Exeggutor being a notable exception. A paraspam staple thanks to Thunder Wave and Explosion.
:umbreon:

: Umbreon excels in three roles: Wish passer, pivot, and chain-link. I may be too bullish on Umby, but its ability to stifle setup sweepers is unmatched thanks to Psych Up and Tickle, which, yes, hits through Substitute. A viscous glue for offensive teams with little in the way of a defensive core.
:espeon:

: Espeon leads BL’s emerging Calm Mind passing archetype. Either HP Water or Fire can round out its coverage.
:regice:

: Regice is the benchmark special wall, an elite Psych Up user, and a paraspam staple.
:houndoom:

: Houndoom leads the pack as a Pursuiter and can maul weaker defensive structures with Fire, Dark, and Ice coverage.

A-: Great, Mostly

: My beloved fat cow has fallen on harder times. Regirock’s greater prominence has done this oddly pacy bovine no favours whatsoever. Letting Regirock—or, God forbid, Rhydon—in freely can easily spiral. Curse sets still have plenty of bite, and Hclat-esque Wave + Toss sets have shown some merit; even so, the current meta is much harsher on my Milky.
:qwilfish:

: Its staying power is poor, but Qwilfish fits offensive teams well by setting Spikes, forcing trades, and spreading paralysis. Choice Band sets are nasty too, albeit rarely explored.
:lanturn:

: Lanturn looked unstoppable six weeks ago. Sans Registeel, the question became: what exactly could switch safely into this deceptively adorable anglerfish? Apparently Kangaskhan and Scizor, and with very little fuss at that. That has not stopped Lanturn from excelling at forcing switches and spreading status, while parafusion enjoyers already recognise it as one of the GOATs.
:swellow:

: Best practice when facing Swellow is often attack, attack, attack, attack, and trade, lest you let it freely pass a Substitute or fire off an Endeavor, only to stare down the same barrel anew later. Nothing compels trades quite like Swellow.
:dodrio:

: Full disclosure: Dodrio is this high mostly to appease Erfder. That said, among Banded Normal-types, STAB Drill Peck and the insurance policy of Quick Attack give it a real Double-Edge over Tauros for the nonce.
:ursaring:

: Freddy Fastbear here may well be BL’s nuclear option, with its STAB, Guts-boosted (Banded? :o) Facade hitting like an orbital strike. Sadly, it is also made of tissue paper. Swords Dance and Haunter coverage create an awkward trade-off.

B+: Usually Cooking, Occasionally Cooked

: Articuno reliably Bells and sends Dragonite and Marowak packing if it enters cleanly. Anything beyond that is a bonus. HP Grass nails Omastar, while Fire yeets Scizor.
:machamp:

: Machamp feels phenomenal right up till you inevitably find yourself lacking whichever coverage option the matchup demands, or switch into Thunder Wave only to full para your Rock Slide into the incoming Dragonite. Such is life.
:weezing:

: Weezing does Weezing things. Standard physical attackers bounce off Weezing all day, though there are plenty of ways to exploit it. Attack-invested sets are also lowkey interesting.
:smeargle:

: Smeargle does whatever it wants, including putting the fear of God into your opponent late-game. Lead variants, however, tend to get goobed.
:dusclops:

: Dusclops is either a brick wall or setup fodder.
:arcanine:

: Arcanine dependably answers Sceptile, Swellow, and Alakazam. The problem is that it feels painfully limited elsewhere.
:blastoise:

: Blastoise compresses spinning, phazing, and Dragonite checking well enough, but its output is pitiful.

B: No-Nonsense Picks

: Be wary of lead Armaldo Ancient Power critting your Tauros.
:chansey:

: OFFSEY reigns as BL’s soundest sweeper, backed by unmatched versatility, unreal clutch factor (timely Ice Beam freezes), and undeniable aura.
:tentacruel:

: Tentacruel ticks plenty of boxes: fast spinner; pseudo-Dragonite check; Toxic immunity; Fighting resist. There is plenty to like here, even if Scizor’s rise has dimmed its star somewhat. HP Fire may be worth exploring?
:haunter:

: The fastest Ghost around, and one whose mere existence in GSC UU condemns Tauros to the depths of the VR. Haunter spinblocks, spreads burns, forces trades, and boasts strong coverage. As for why those enormous hands can't throw an elemental punch while Gengar’s can is beyond mortal comprehension.
:donphan:

: Donphan isn't winning any award for spinning, but she'll gladly stomach almost any physical attack and retaliate hard against anything grounded. Her coverage, however, falls off a cliff after Earthquake, with HP Rock often doing approximately nothing. Attack-invested Substitute sets at least provide a neat way of handling that pesky Dusclops.
:hariyama:

: Defensively sound with Thick Fat, while Knock Off ensures progress despite Hariyama's flaccid output.
:kangaskhan:

: Early Bird Rest and Wish make Kangaskhan a sturdy special wall and useful supporter. Coverage leaves it stuck between a rock and a ghastly place: Earthquake or Focus Punch handle the likes of Regirock and Rhydon, while Shadow Ball keeps Haunter and Missy (lol) honest.

B-: Specialist Territory

: Great Speed and workable mixed attacking stats give Blaziken plenty of flexibility. Shame about the shortsightedness, given all its strongest moves seem determined to miss.
:steelix:

: Steelix offers plenty defensively and little offensively, fitting naturally on :pukes: stall.
:solrock:

: Ground immunity and Flying resistance mean Solrock cleanly switches into your standard DDragonite. Banded sets pack a punch. Its sturdier physical profile gives it the edge over its sister Lunatone.
:lunatone:

: Many people don't know that Lunatone gets Baton Pass, so this could be a shocker to them. Hypnosis what you can't Calm Mind against, or kill and then do what would work well in the situation.
:flareon:

: A great newcomer to BL, thanks exclusively to Scally. Its defensive profile answers Sceptile and Scizor alike.
:hitmonlee:

: In a meta where everymon seems hellbent on frying your nervous system, Hitmonlillee’s Limber gives her a leg up. Her great Speed tier, Rapid Spin, priority, and respectable power round out a very complete toolkit. ️‍‍

: Bold Eggy eats Regirock’s standard attacks for breakfast, and its movepool makes for one tough egg to crack. Whether it packs Sunny Day, Solar Beam, Psychic, HP Fire or Ice, Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, or Explosion, predicting around it is a genuine headache.
:rhydon:

: Rhydon lives rent-free in Miltank’s nightmares.
:venusaur:

: Something of a Sleep Powder merchant herself.
:ampharos:

: What Ampharos lacks in Speed and bulk, she makes up for with Heal Bell and being the only pure Electric-type you can reasonably delude yourself into running. HP Grass ought to be standard.
:lapras:

: ~~Heal Bell~~ Dragon Dance.

C+: Super Rod

: Glalie is either a generational success or an abject failure. Miracle Seed HP Grass into lead Omastar does, admittedly, go brrr.
:entei:

: This dude. Try as you may to make Entei work, one of Dragonite, Omastar, or Miltank is gonna goob him. That said, the three-attack Fire Blast / HP Ice / Solar Beam / Sunny Day set is lowkey pretty fire, particularly on Calm Mind pass. Otherwise, quit fishing and click Toxic.
:kingdra:

: A solid fish.
:linoone:

: A solid fish.
:gardevoir:

: A lot needs to go Gardevoir's way for it to sweep: no Houndoom; no Umbreon; no Regice; no faster physical threat waiting in the wings. Tick those boxes and Gardevoir runs riot, doubly so after tracing Water Absorb.
:raichu:

: Fast Encore goobs.
:jumpluff:

: Fast Encore on something of a Sleep Powder merchant herself goobs.
:typhlosion:

: A solid fish, though Blaziken and Entei tend to steal much of its Thunder Punch.
:girafarig:

: A solid giraffe.
:jynx:

: Something of a Lovely Kiss merchant herself.
:kabutops:

: Kabutops’ Speed, Rock STAB, and access to Swords Dance make for a lethal sweeper on paper. The catch? Getting it into play when common moves like Surf and Earthquake pack it up. Something like Weezing, however, whose Sludge Bomb, Flamethrower, and HP Ice cannot break its Substitute, is prime setup fodder. Add in a Normal resistance and access to Rapid Spin or Knock Off, and there is plenty to like.

C: Good Rod

: Something of a Hypnosis merchant herself, with the occasional side hustle in SubSalac Belly Drumming. Perhaps Poliwrath has some potential as a Bulk Up RestTalker?
:crobat:

: Crobat straight goobs spineless HO. Sceptile? Oof. Swellow? Oof. Mono-SubScreech may well be its strongest set if you fancy fishing.
:electrode:

: Electrode has merit on rain, but beyond that its impotence leaves it struggling to accomplish much, if anything.
:stantler:

: ~~Intimidate up front and parafusion on top? Say less.~~ Something of a Hypnosis merchant herself.
:banette:

: Banette conjobs Sleep Powder merchants with its Insomnia, with Destiny Bond providing a means to force trades. Its wealth of utility options is limited only by its limited staying power.
:ludicolo:

: This scourge of 200 Doubles crashes back down to earth in BL. Dropping any of Rain Dance, Leech Seed, Ice Beam, Surf/Hydro Miss, or Giga Drain/HP Grass (or Fire Punch??) opens her up to being stonewalled by something. Whether your opponent can work out that something without throwing is the question.
:quagsire:

: There’s always a bigger fish.
:hitmontop:

: Hitmonlee with neither the pace nor the punch.
:cacturne:

: Cacturne lowkey farms do-nothing stall.
:camerupt:

: Something of an Explosion merchant herself.
:crawdaunt:

: Crawdaunt is lowkey tailor-made to switch into Alakazam, blanking Psychic and resisting its serious coverage. Doubles as a potent stallbreaker, with Knock Off enough to make stallheads break into a cold sweat. Specially offensive is the way. Attack investment is throwing.

C-: Old Rod

: Gone fishin'.
:zangoose:

: Gone fishin'.
:scyther:

: A highly consistent Swords Dance passer.
:rapidash:

: Rapidash has fast SubPass, I guess?
:shedinja:

: A suspect fish against anyone not named Celdanami.
:dunsparce:

: Something about Serene Grace Body Slam / Ancient Power / Rest / Snore tickles me.
:misdreavus:

: I've seen no convincing evidence Missy is real.
:porygon2:

: Porygon2 + Sharpen getting complex-banned was the last straw for this devilish duck’s sobriety.
:sandslash:

: Feeling lucky?
:walrein:

: No words. Not from you.
:sableye:

: I can forgive being frail. I can't forgive being this frail.

L: Throwing

: Nothing says “washed” like losing to GSC UU teams.
:golduck:

: Golduck’s niche may well be throwing.
:meganium:

: Meganium’s lone triumph has been preserved for posterity in the pinned replays.
:roselia:

: Why?

: Why?

: Why?

: Go on. Try making Diglett work.
:trapinch:

: Once again, I invite you to try.
:magnemite:

: Against the right Scizor variant, the comedy writes itself.
:absol:

: An extremely consistent Swords Dance passer.
:venomoth:

: Generational in the lead.

Whatever possessed me to do this once will not possess me twice. Thanks for reading xx

Celdanami · Sep 22, 2026

2026 VR Post:

Gonna take a cue from Toasty and do a smaller VR post cause I love this metagame.

S: Pokémon with extreme meta impact
A: Pokémon that best perform one or more rolls
B: Fundamentally strong Pokémon with important functions
C: Pokémon with valuable, but not required niches
D: Pokémon that generally cannot compete in the metagame, but may provide a unique value to specific teams

+ or - indicates whether a Pokémon has, or lacks, significant flaws or exploits.
Normal pokémon are equally distributed, representing the dominating impact they have on the metagame.

S+ The Undisputed

: Everybody agrees that Dragonite is the standalone best mon in the metagame, with supreme set diversity, utility, and damage. It is ranked in S+ alone to reflect that dominance.

S The Contender

: In my opinion, the only real contender for Dragonite's spot, Zam, is the strongest special win con in the game with comparable set diversity and utility. Its lower position reflects a higher difficulty to pilot, its frailty, and spikes/pursuit weakness.

S- The Strongest

: Vaporeon performs two functions perfectly: wish support and sub pass. These two incredibly valuable tactics, plus its phase and stat-pass capacity, make Vaporeon easy to fit onto any team.
:tauros:

: Much like Vaporeon, Tauros easily finds itself on a variety of teams. While its main role is a Normal CB threat with perfect coverage, it can also add value to surprising sets like defensive and substitute.

A+ The Best:
Each of these Pokémon is the best at their assigned roles.

:regirock:

: normal resist.
:slowbro:

: fighter check.
:scizor:

: flexible normal resist.
:miltank:

: normal win con + damned good utility.
:sceptile:

: trader. Pursuit support also synergizes incredibly well with Normal and Fighting threats.

A The Great:
These pokémon perform a valuable role very, very well.

:regice:

: special wall + anti-CM.
:donphan:

: spinner that checks one half of the meta
:dusclops:

: spinblock staller.
:machamp:

: guts breaker.
:swellow:

: speed control trader and breaker. Great for mind games.
:blastoise:

: spinner that checks the other half of the meta

A- The Good:
You really can't go wrong putting these pokémon on a team, but they do require support and synergistic partners.

:rhydon:

: normal-resist stall breaker with leftovers longevity.
:marowak:

: no-setup stall breaker with no quad weakness.
:lanturn:

: balance destroyer.
:omastar:

: spikes, CM recipient, normal resist, Dnite-check.
:houndoom:

: Pursuit + coverage = incredible synergy for some of the strongest teams.
:dodrio:

: Spikes immune CB normal with the second-best coverage and priority
:articuno:

: Fantastic compression of utility and Dnite/Vap check.

B+ Approaching Excellence
All of these pokemon offer a lot to teams, but either have flaws, or take up a valuable slot on a team.

:ursaring:

: The nuclear option and second-best normal setup win con
:espeon:

: This pokémon could and probably will be higher as CM pass develops.
:Armaldo:

: One of the most flexible defensive pieces.
:kangaskhan:

: Self-sufficient normal special wall with Wish support, decent Zam bandaid, variable coverage options, not Heal Bell dependant.
:smeargle:

: Swiss Army knife, legendary normal sweeper.
:weezing:

: Arguably the best check to Fighters and to Scizor, but largely prepared for and exploitable.
:umbreon:

: One-stop shop for Psychics, incredible Wish supporter, anti-setup, Sub-Pass, and Curse passer [stall] and Wincon [bulky offense].
:arcanine:

: The most flexible fire type. Tank? Special Damage? CB? Check, check, check. E-speed + Fire stab does a lot for the dog.

B I've Been Told It's Average
These Pokémon do something usually, but are weak to common threats.

:kingdra:

: Rain Dance is a stronger option now that Registeel got tested, especially for CM pass. Dragon Dance is a great surprise win con.
:blaziken:

: When Blaziken has the correct set, gg. However, this mon hates Oma/Dnite teams. I recommend sub punch unless you're going salac.
:golduck:

: Probably could be lower.... Special stall breaker with potential value vs offense as well. Losing Registeel hurt this mon.
:steelix:

: A more passive normal resist, but does have roar. Less valuable without Raikou.
:flareon:

: Lots and lots of theory has found its way into practice. Developed in Kouless, Flareon has overtaken Chansey as a less exploitable special wall that checks Sceptile and Zam. A unique profile with a valuable and flexible movepool.
:glalie:

: > qwilfish
:chansey:

: How far the mighty have fallen. Chansey is just too passive and is exploited by the same stall breakers that beat Chansey's required teammates. Shoutout HO Chansey: Twave Sing Softboiled Counter/Stoss.
:Venusaur:

: Has such valuable clicks, but seems to get clicked on more often than not.
:haunter:

: The spinblocker for Spikes offense.
:zangoose:

: The third-best Normal setup win con. Priority and excellent coverage. Would be higher if Scizor wasn't around.

Notable Placements

:clefable:

: A functional special wall and wish passer with anti-setup Encore.
:jumpluff:

: Confirmed terrorist. Fits perfectly on Setup Spam HO and Spikes Stall
:scyther:

: Untested SD passer that outspeeds the majority of the metagame. Worth exploring.
:lapras:

: Substitute abuser similar to Lanturn, heal bell.
:meganium:

: Shoutout Scally for discovering this solution to stall's WakChamp issues.
:togetic:

: Fear the day you vs my Togetic paraspam team.

Metagame Analysis

This shit is fun. While balance is still roughing it out, Offense and Stall have exploded in diversity and viability.
Slowly centralizing. While expectations were set that this meta would be wide and difficult to navigate, central pillars and unique synergistic pairings are slowly carving out a defined identity.
Paraspam, while still strong, is less degenerate. A win for mankind.
Standout archetypes and teams: Pinch HO, Normal Spam, CM Pass, Spikeless Stall.

Metagame Questions

Although I've come around to love the flailversal ban and the meta it produced, it's worth mentioning two factors that should inform the status of this ban: Medicham is banned, and Stall solved its priority issues (good work Scally). I am in full agreement that stab flailversal would upend current developments, but non-stab flailversal could be worth looking at.
Berry pass. It's been discussed to death. A one-time +1 speed boost is not game-breaking, and Starf pass has unique application in this metagame with no sand + swellow.
Can we fix the omniboost pass clause? Scyther would be dope if you could run silver wind + BP on an SD pass set.

Shoutouts

Just want to shoutout the entire UUBL community for being such a fun and productive space. We have excellent tier leaders in Erfder, Teh and Wenderz. Thanks to Azure for hosting server tours. And all the homies that make this my favourite ADV meta.

Sossa qualified from Cycle 4 at only 1377 Elo and entered the playoffs as the 10th seed, making the eventual champion a lower-half seed.
Lacks was the 16th seed and a replacement qualifier, yet reached the semifinals after eliminating the tournament's 1st seed, Bird lives!, in Round 1 then advancing past Lafell.

13	Elisy	1359	4
14	Erfder	1344	4
15	gnore	1300	2
16	Lacks	1289	4

Disqualification adjustment: semmson and wonytilliams were determined to be the same entrant, which violated the tournament rule against entering more than once. Both accounts were disqualified. Violincore, the next eligible Cycle 3 finisher, and Lacks, the next eligible Cycle 4 finisher, replaced them in the playoffs.
