Smeargle in NU would be interesting. Just give or take a few months before that's possible.

"Abomasnow moved from RU to NU"
This thing is going to be huge. With its ability to break weather and spam 100% accurate Blizzard it becomes a nice check to rain teams. Not to mention that almost nothing can switch into the mixed set bar perhaps Mega Audino. Also should be interesting to see if hail makes a comeback, considering we now have 2 very potent threats in Aboma as well as Specs Aurorus. Looking forward to building with this!
Amphy is pretty cool, however I doubt it'll make much of a splash. I can see Agility + 3 attacks being its most popular set, however it really isnt anything special.

Soundproof is cool as well to cockblock Specs Swellow. Heat Wave is a bitch though.
Manectric in RU will probably be the first thing I'm trying. Finally an electric type not named zebstrika that can hit steelix and grass types with a move that isn't hidden power.
Please no Rachi, when it was in the tier it was super annoying. Let Sylveon, Alakazam, Conkeldurr, Celebi and Mew drop down first.
I have a feeling Ambipom would've dropped long ago if people didn't talk about it staying in RU every tier update.
We have had Alakazam before, it was fine. I also meant it was more annoying to face not just because of hax, but also the fact that it could run a myriad of different sets, from paraflinch, scarf, CM, Lure, Specs/Band, Defensive, and pivot meant that many times, I'd want to run 2 answers to it on some of my bulkier teams.
The thing with gatr is its stro ger after the sf boost which also negates recoil, feraligatr also gets priority
i have a better chance of getting laid than zam has of dropping
Gyarados' main niche is a great blanket check thanks to it having decent synergy with the Ground types in the tier since they tank both of Gyarados' weaknesses. It is most likely going to be a staple on nearly every archetype since it can fulfill so many roles (cleaner, bulky attacker, physical "wall", etc.) It also has access to a few good support moves such as Taunt and Thunder Wave (no Roost tho). This thing will be fun for sure.
If the usage stats stay the same predicted next tier shifts are
| 54 | Gyarados-Mega | 2.708% | OU to UU
| 60 | Alakazam | 2.507% | OU to UU
| 66 | Cloyster | 3.354% | UU to RU
| 67 | Honchkrow | 3.277% | UU to RU
| 61 | Trevenant | 3.300% | RU to NU
| 62 | Smeargle | 3.285% | RU to NU
| 61 | Pinsir | 3.407% | NU to PU
| 64 | Cryogonal | 2.635% | NU to PU
| 63 | Crustle | 3.094% | NU to PU
close ones are(less than .2%)
| 52 | Celebi | 3.566% | OU to UU
| 53 | Alakazam-Mega | 3.445% | OU to BL
| 64 | Haxorus | 3.569% | UU to RU
| 65 | Hoopa | 3.530% | UU to RU
| 62 | Gourgeist-Super | 3.356% | PU to NU
| 59 | Regirock | 3.582% | NU to PU
| 60 | Prinplup | 3.420% | NU to PU
Am I missing any?

Amazing.
Amazing.
They might give PU Crygonal and Prinplup next tier shift, hopefully.
But then, they can still give Crustle and Regirock
YAY rocks
Mega Alakazam is banned in UU, so if the usage stays that way it will drop to BL. I think Celebi is also banned, but i'm not quite sure.
Also:
Why
There's a silver lining. I'm looking forward to the next tier shift.
