Right here for the waitings am I
Just waiting for it now.
I'm still waiting for the day when Zapdos drops
I'm excited to see that Mamoswine may drop though. UU could use another good Ice-type, especially when you see Flying- and Dragon-types everywhere.
Also it has Freeze Dry so fuck Suicune (but mostly Swampert I guess)

Earthquake hits Suicune harder than Freeze-Dry, but it's still a good option for Swampert.
If Hitmonchan, Scrafty, Flygon, and Trevenant all drop down from their respective tiers, this upcoming tier shift will be the best day ever.
Zapdos isn't dropping because its good in OU
Volcarona is good in OU and it's still BL (Unless the new stats make it rise)
Terrakion, Heracross, and Pinsir dropped I believe 2 months ago, and they are great in OU.
True, but hex keeps asking it to drop to uu because he thinks it sucks in OU and it would be better off in UU
Scrafty in RU ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Flygon in RU ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Noivern in RU ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Kingdra in RU (ノಠ_ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Looking forward to trying out Noivern most personally. As we've seen though, RU doesn't like Hurricane (Mega Pidge + Moltres bans). Not so excited for facing Kingdra, though, to be honest. Losing Cress, Doublade and (potentially) Aboma will be equally as big changes to the tier as the drops too.
Will be interesting to see what happens anyway. I'd also like to see Trevenant drop, just to see how it fairs in RU (might be bad, might be average, can't see it being good though) but I don't think it will happen yet.

I never said that I just really like Zapdos...
Do you even know what shitposting is or do you think it makes you look cool to call people out? Because commenting on rises/drops (maybe they are off-topic in this specific thread idk) isn't shitposting in the slightest. People are having a genuine discussion, shitposting is just spamming a thread about random garbage.
The difference is that they took an hit in viability(greater opportunity cost for the two bugs, faster speed tiers and the lead set ruined by Mega Sableye for Terrakion), while if anything Zapdos' viability rose since it's one of the best checks for stuff like genies, Excadrill, Talonflame, normal Gyarados and such.
