Am I the only one who`s glad to see Gligar gone from RU? Seriously, that thing was a cancer to deal with.
Really glad to see Glalie and Diancie get some proper reckonisition, their placement was long overdue imo.
Heliolisk and Virizion will finally get some reckonisition now, hopefully.
Mega Pinsir in UU...Prepare your Mega Aerodactyls..You`re going to need them.
 
Heracross moved from OU to UU.
This is pretty cool. I expected it to drop earlier, because I don't see it used often in OU anymore. However, I do assume this is not including the mega stone.

Heliolisk moved from RU to NU
I'm going to have a lot of fun with this thing. Now that it got Hyper Voice it has another reliable STAB move to use. I see a lot of potential in this thing in NU.

Salamence moved from OU to UU
I wonder how good it's going to be. It's probably still going to mess up UU like it did in the past. I can't wait to try it out.

Terrakion moved from OU to UU
All I can say about this; I wonder how long this lasts.

Virizion moved from RU to NU
This is not good for NU. After Fletchling and Doublade died from your team, this thing swept. And now we don't have either of those to back us up, yeah... This thing will rip apart the NU tier.

Mawile moved from RU to NU
Was about time. I knew it wouldn't stay OU or RU. It was a matter of time to have him back in his home. This is where he started, this is where he'll stay. In Gen 6 it got a new Sheer Force boosted STAB move to spam, being Play Rough. I am actually wanting to try it out.

Kabutops moved from NU to RU
This really, really, REALLY upset me. Kabutops is by fav my favorite Water type. Despite what my signature says about it. This thing was amazing. And I had a great custom set on it that worked wonderfully on it. RU is a tier that I don't like at all. So I guess I'll have to wait for it to come back to me.


Pinsir moved from OU to UU
Same story as Heracross; This is pretty cool. I expected it to drop earlier, because I don't see it used often in OU anymore. However, I do assume this is not including the mega stone.

Jirachi moved from UU to OU
This is the other thing that really upset me. I loved using Jirachi in UU. It worked so well with Hydreigon. Jirachi and PZ were my favorite mons to use in UU, guess I'll have to find a replacement for it now..


I will never forget you, Kabutops & Jirachi... ♥
 
Diancie moved to ou, why? I mean, Diancite is OU for sure, but why is normal-diancie OU now? Not like it was that spectacualar of a Pokemon to be much for UU

And Terrakion in UU, nice:) Lol, but I guess it won't last long
 
Nice tier shift, seems like the meta will have some funny changes.
Let's what will happen with terrakion and m-pinsir.

Click to expand...
its him lol, and that was before it got banned iirc
 
Well this is a great tier shift. PU got 4 mons, all of which should be pretty good, in exchange for just Bouffalant and the arguably almost broken Scyther. Not only do we finally have more than zero offensive spinners, but we actually have two now, and we also have two more relevant steels (we only had one before), which is cool too.
 
Now if you'll excuse me... I'm off to rain the 11th plague upon UU ^^

box_05__127_mega_pinsir_by_kuruttra-d6rqyeg.png


I don't care if it will only be there for few days, that is all the time it is gonna need to make UU remember it's name xD
 
While everybody's looking at Pinsir and Terrakion, I think this one impacted UU the most:
"Jirachi moved from UU to OU"

That's going to drastically change many things. And now I don't have to fear that annoying Scarfed set anymore.

And does anybody have anything to say about Salamence dropping to UU (again)?
 
Well there goes the Mega Bird and Serp suspects in RU, they ended up moving up anyways lol.

Virizion and Heliolisk dropped to NU? That shouldn't have happened...Oh well...

Lol Mega Pinsir is gonna be so borked in UU lol, well dropping means eventually RU and NU might have normal Pinsir itself

RIP all the UU mons that rose to OU, you will be missed. But, they all deserved to be OU so...yeah!

Accelgor and Kabutops should have been RU a long time ago...actually, in the case of Kabutops...it never should have dropped. (NU, you never deserved Kabutops and Slurpuff!!!)

Oh and RIP Mega Sceptile in RU. Mega Glalie in RU wasn't surprising though, but my usage of M-Banette kinda is.

Claydol dropped. Finally the pos dropped. Hitmonchan is next. (Pls Ambipom too!)

Oh and finally,

Congratulations to Mawile and Quagsire for dropping all the way from OU to NU over the course of just one generation!

That's all I've got.
