but then what's left of me?
We'll probably update it in approximately 2 weeks, and we'll remove Tyrantrum immediately if it gets banned.With ~ 5 new drops and a potential Tyrantrum ban, when will the next VR be released?

From the Viability thread "A new VR thread will be posted in one week (give or take a few days) following the conclusion of the suspect and the highly anticipated tier shifts. Locking." And that was on december 1st so I'd expect one to be up before the week ends.Where's the new Viability Ranking thread?
Submitted a CMS edit, so it should be fixed soon. :)Now that the new viability ranking thread is up, can somebody please update the link RU Format (http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/formats/ru/) page?
I really don't think HO's a good place to start in a tier, but if you want teams, you can check these threads out:Does anyone have a Hyper Offense team for me to ladder? Preferably with some of the new mons, but itn't a requirement. Thanks in advance :]
Well HO is my favourite playstyle, and I just like to use it in the lower ladders. Thanks for the teams :]I really don't think HO's a good place to start in a tier, but if you want teams, you can check these threads out:

I seriously doubt Heliolisk was ever E-Rank lol. Probably C/C- at worst, but not E. Nobody could compare Lisk to freaking Ambipom.What was Heliolisk's rank when it used to be RU? E rank?
His question was already answered by Lord Death Man. If you want more details on how Heliolisk fared back then (and the other mons in general, I suggest you check out the old VR threads:I seriously doubt Heliolisk was ever E-Rank lol. Probably C/C- at worst, but not E. Nobody could compare Lisk to freaking Ambipom.
e: Surprisingly enough, Heliolisk managed to drop to NU due to its surprisingly low usage. Nonetheless, it was suspected and banned from NU alongside Virizion.It spent a significant time at B (Jolteon, I believe, was either B+ or A-) - I know for a fact it was B right at the end of XY. While it wasn't widely considered good/great during XY, it did have Surf/Grass Knot/Focus Blast, which hit several significant targets, such as Gligar (many ran HP Ice despite that, because it hit it harder and you had free moveslots), Rhyperior, Cobalion, Seismitoad, Quagsire, etc. It also checked Doublade with it's typing and still had a key water immunity which gave it switch ins versus other mons and made it a reliable check to swords dance Feraligatr and most Kabutops.
Before it moved into UU, it was A- while Jolteon was B+ because it's movepool was so good and almost nothing could switch into it's great coverage, especially on offense. Doublade was even more relevant than it had previously been at that time, Cobalion was everywhere, and there weren't any ground types that could take it's coverage, so volt switching as checks/counters came in was pretty easy.
Virizion was never banned from NU, you're thinking of Mega Steelix.e: Surprisingly enough, Heliolisk managed to drop to NU due to its surprisingly low usage. Nonetheless, it was suspected and banned from NU alongside Virizion.
