Metagame Tier Shift

[VERNE]

Does ZU get +50? I'm thinking insane Appletun and Accelegor.

No NFE, untiered, etc mons all get the same boosts as PU

Goddamn it Drampa...Quag is in UU.
Which is a quite a hit to stall teams. The tiering has been so unstable lately so Im unsure of saying whats good and what isn't.
But the posts so far have given me a general understanding.

Machamp looks like a nightmare.Vap gives me wonderful stall feelings.
And the fatasses such so hard this gen.

Sirfetch'd, Machamp, Indeedee-F, Sceptile, Tauros, Exploud, Kingdra, Raichu-Alola and Duradulon are all banned from PU, and therefore get +30 to all stats. I will closely monitor if these nerfs are enough for some of our top hitters (namely the fighters and Indeedee-F), if not they will be banned outright.

Edit: Apparently Porygon Z and Toxtricity are also banned from NU, so they only get +20 across the board.

Is this OM dead? Because no one is posting here and not nearly as much as shared power. I'm surprised because this is OM of the Month.

Is there some sort of Viability Rankings? Or is the meta too unstable with the bans?

I think it's cause it's gotten stale. You often see similar mons now and it's becoming increasingly more stall based. But I love the concept behind this meta!

So out of a total of 78 games recorded, I've made a little Excel document you may like.
It is a record of all the mons that I've seen in all 78 battles. It would appear Vaporeon is top of the usage chart. Hope this helps a bit!
