Generic Wallbreaker that can’t beat Espeon and doesn’t have a high enough attack stat to utilize outside of clicking Head Smash. Releavant but not very releavant.
Its the same as it always has been, no
RIP Triple Axel but it has Ice Spinner now so you could still make a offensive pivot set work without Triple Axel. Quad weak to Rocks and with the current Hazard Removal it wont be able to run anything except Boots.
Outclassed defensively by Espeon and has a overall mid typing but I believe it could find a niche through its overall balanced stats as some sort of Calm Mind sweeper taking advantage of its high bulk, Recover and Stored Power.
Not necessarily bad but outclassed by base Avalugg since it has a worse typing and a bit more special bulk for losing water moves which means its coverage is Ice + Steel so I can’t see a world this isn’t outclassed by base unless it receives Meteor Beam in the DLC’s.
Fat Pivot with Rocks, Pivoting, Dual Screens and a very useful Ability that allows it to not care about (T) Spikes and run leftovers, will probably see usage as a fat screen setter or a bulky pivot for BO/Balance teams.
and
The stat differences are defensively so it doesn’t matter which one it is but, Zoroark-H is the only thing that stops Last Respects due to the extra Power given to these two thanks to Adapt and their good speed tiers, probably banned.
Stats are worse than Articuno-G, I don’t think SFLO gives enough power to patch 70 Spatk up, it probably won’t see usage.
Stats are bad, movepool is bad, not much to say here.
Offenses aren’t bad, can use plot and SubSeed very well, could be given a chance but very borderline.
This now has Base 100 speed and keeps acceptable 50/85 physical bulk and 130 – 150 Offenses. Broken.
Sturdy offensive lead is the only thing you’ll ever use this with, outclassed by Diancie.
HP is bad so bulk ends up being not very impressive and in a bulky psychic invested metagame Triple Arrows isn’t making progress. Although it has a niche being a Defogger that doesn’t care about Ting-Lu at all that can also hit Gholdengo super effectively for some damage.
Outclassed by the Physical Fire types and the bulky Physical Psychics but workable with since Wish having 16 PP is nice in a tier with 8 PP Recovery moves but doesn’t do anything except that and outclassed by Espeon stats wise.
Has less Spatk for more bulk, yeah if this was legal it may not be broken but its still overcentralizing by the fact that it has insane bulk which pairs well with Bulk Up and has coverage for special sets.
Same, forced to hold its item but Bulk Up sets might be too much due to more Attack.
Its slow and has 50/100/100 Bulk so this won’t see usage outside of TR but it seems to be really good under TR due to massive 150/150 attacking stats and decent coverage.
This doesn’t do anything except sitting there without Toxic.
SubSeed could work but its horrible speed tier and bad offenses stop offensive sets while the lack of recovery stops defensive sets.
Spatk is too low to properly use bulky Calm Mind but bulky Superpower alongside Contrary could work but needs too long to get going.
Loses a decent chunk of its bulk for offensive ability while still keeping the horrible speed tier. Maybe someone could make CM Draining Kiss work but until that happens this is bad.
Too Bulky and Fast. Broken.
Too strong, powerful and fast. Broken.
Slightly weaker and can’t run specs but its still too much of a stat stick to be balanced.
Does what it did last gen with fast Set up with Ice Beam to handle the Physical walls it brings in. It also has Tera to be funny now. Will see decent amounts of usage.
Its Goodra but loses Bulk and speed for Spatk and Steel STAB, probably a sidegrade since the Sylveon matchup is far better but overall Goodra seems more useful.
Too Strong, has good coverage, stat stick. Broken.
What it did last gen but worse since it lost Toxic and gained a counter in Cyclizar. But will probably love Tera to surprise the glass cannons that think they can kill it with a super effective STAB move.
Its Bulkyish but physical STABs are very lackluster with Phantom Force and Zen Headbutt, probably outclassed by other Psychics.
It is a Espeon abuser with excellent coverage and good bulk while taking excellent advantage of Tera, will always see use for those reasons and its also one of the few mons who keep Knock.
Stats are bad Stabs don’t exist, Abilities are useless. Stone Axe doesn’t justify using this.
Stat stick, too powerful, bulky and has good coverage. Broken.
Bulky Sheer Force abuser, will see usage due to that and its great bulk but outclassed defensively by its Therian form.
It might have lost Toxic, Knock Off and Defog but its still a glue and one of the few mixed bulky Grounds still out there while supporting a typing that has minimal vulnerability to hazards and will see usage due to its unique properties.
Hustle doesn’t fix this up, though its stats are perfect for Victory Dance set up it takes too long to get going while having low offensive stats and bad defense at the beginning. Its Bad.
Its the same mon as last gen but got Spikes and Play Rough on top of it so this might end up being broken this round. If it doesn’t end up being broken than it’ll be a good glue and a very deadly set-up sweper thanks to its typing, movepool and ability.
It has good stats, SD and coverage but its STAB’s being the slightly buffed Zen Headbutt which still flinches around as much as a normal Iron Head and Facade without Guts or Quick Feet is dissapointing. Might see use.
Its just bad now, has a bunch of special bulk. Don’t use Relic Song.
Nothing changes. Bad.
Its the same and lost its Recovery Moves on top of a bunch more moves. Niche.
Too Bulky, has set up, good coverage. Broken.
It does what it did last gen but now without Mystical Fire, Defog, Toxic and Scorching Sands. One of the biggest losers here, but still has great bulk with a good typing and reliable recovery without being passive, so it will see usage.
This just looks and feels like Standard Honchkrow but with more speed, more bulk and U-Turn in return for having a useless Ability, ZERO Movepool outside of BB, Sucker and U-Turn. Very Niche.
It gets a bit faster but its offenses are still pretty average 100/105 and coverage and access to STAB Knock can get you so far. Niche.
A specially based set might work on some rain teams but for a mon whose stabs aren’t boosted by rain this just seems underwhelming offensively. Very Niche.
and
They both do similar thing compared to Dialga-O but they have an offensively good STAB in Water so they are probably more broken but due to the lack of some utility options less centralizing.
This continues on doing what it di last gen being an already bulky Pokemon that gets its defense doubled to essentially beat every physical attacker, Stall exclusive. Good.
This doesn’t do anything interesting offensively or defensively. Outclassed by base Raichu as a wish passer. Unviable.
Too bulky, insane coverage, set up, utility. Broken but offensive stats are bad and lacks reliable recovery so this could be a candidate for an un-ban.
Same, late game cleaner, doesn’t have the power to use tera steel flash cannon. Niche but will see use as a cleaner.
Very bulky pivot capable of clearing hazards while using Transisistor and Thunder Cage set damage to make progress that gets walled by Ground Types. It will see usage due to the fact that it has only one weakness and can sponge hits coming from all around for more offensive teams while working as Hazard control.
Grassy Glide doesn’t exist and without it Rillaboom doesn’t do anything, not worth using for its terrain. Bad.
It can get up Spikes against Espeon and has a good typing in to Gholdengo and Ting-Lu counterplay but its really weak and without recovery it isn’t bulky enough to be consistent defensively. Time will tell if this ends up being niche or useful.
It can do Nasty Plot stuff alongside its QD-QC combination to be uncompetitive but it won’t end up being more than a HO threat due to its horrible HP stat. Matchup fish.
Very similar to its siblings in being mostly a HO threat behind screens and it works similarly to Slowking-K in being a Belly Drum sweeper but Slowking-G has a higher powered STAB in Gunk Shot. Matchup fish.
Unless the goal is to build a PP stalling team there isn’t much reason to use this mon since it doesn’t do much except being specially bulky and spreading poison and T-Spikes. Bad.
Similar to last gen by being a very physically bulky Pokemon that is also one of the only 100% safe Chansey switch ins. Stall/Fat Balance exclusive but with the Chansey line getting Thief this guy hates losing its item which will cause its viability to be slightly lower than before.
Its a SFLO mon but it doesn’t have a SF boosted STAB move while having bad speed and horrible physical bulk. Really niche pick on Webs teams which are already niche.
Its a bulky set up mon utilizing its bulk to set up and slowly win but it it has 4MSS syndrome since it wants all of Bulk Up/NP, Electric STAB, Move that hits grounds, Rest and Sleep Talk. Takes too long to get going.
The Pokemon above but has more defense for less special bulk. A sidegrade.
The above 2 pokemon but utilizes Flying STAB instead of Electric moves and doesn’t need a second coverage move so it has no 4MSS but a worse typing. A sidegrade.
The above 3 are all sidegrades of each other filling a very small role that Prankster allows them to do but their competition basically makes them bad.
The bulky utility mon that just doesn’t die and and pivots all around. It lost Knock Off, Defog and Toxic which basically forces its sets to go a set up move due to the loss of all the utility moves. Still a amazing blanket check and a dominant Pokemon.
This doesn’t have anything that seperates it from Spectrier that makes it worth using. Bad.
Balance breaker that takes advantage of its massive speed stat, Guts and good special attack making it a cool stall breaker that works decently well until you hit a wall with good bulk on both sides. Niche.
and
They are special attackers without special moves and they don’t have good enough stats to be usable with that kind of a special movepool. Bad.
It isn’t good at anything except Atk and Spatk but its at that awkward speed tier where its too slow for normal play while being too fast for TR. Coverage is also eh. Very Niche.
It does basically what it does in the standard meta, trading 10 base speed for 10 bas Spatk. Steam Eruption is a really good move. Not different but still good.
This doesn’t do anything special its purpose is making, Eviolite Stantler possible as a very niche bulky option.
Too strong, coverage is really good, typing and special bulk is really good. Broken.
The Above but more Spdef and HP (?) Broken.
The Above but its a Fighting type that abuses great bulk alongside IronPress and Tera Dark Crunch to be broken.
The above but its stronger offensively and has a better defensive typing for less HP (?).
The good old Mon, excellent defensively, only really loses Defog and will continue being a important part of the metagame with its excellent typing.
It’s in the group of Fighting types that can do Spdef Bulk Up but its outclassed by Hawlucha due to Hawlucha having Roost.
This wasn’t very viable last gen and now its outclassed by Wo-Chien outside of U-Turn and Jungle Healing. Not really viable.
