ubers uu [for-fun non-exhaustive/messy and mostly just from ubers uupl + umpl pov]
bolds are starters from w1. my strat this tour would be to have a season-long lock on my flex but ill add a lil section of like, hey if you were picking flex based on your opp, would it be good to pick ubers uu
8. Ambers [
emoxu9, Leni, Ford]
Manager selfbuy who doesn't have much Ubers UU experience slotting in? I guess the depth isn't there and you have the sheet breaker for AG. I don't have a ton of faith in the options here, Ford will at least have Ubers UU knowledge but I don't know how much builder support they can provide. Leni's a good clicker but needs to be provided stuff.
Pick into: Yeah. Even their default starter doesn't inspire a ton of confidence to be honest, their depth is not there. I'd be in my teamcord talking about how we're up 2-0 before the week even goes up to hype up my team.
7. Meloettas [
LBN,
OceanicGamer]
I have to assume they got Ubers UU picked into them. LBN is a perfectly serviceable starter, though on the weaker side for sure. Oceanic is a good community member with motivation, but I'm not convinced yet they can hang with the best of the best in this tour. At the very least, they should be able to provide teams for LBN. But this is a pretty rough tier for the Meloettas.
Pick into: Yeah. LBN is gonna struggle against the strength of the default pool, and most teams are going to have someone who can outplay Ocenaic in the battle room at the very least I'd think.
6. Sandslashes [
Dorron, qbking3]
Here is like the first team that I feel like genuinely did draft for Ubers UU (sorry 7 and 8). Dorron is strong both in the teambuilder and the battle scene, though they're this low because their support for a flex slot is not great and plenty of default starters can match Dorron in skill or experience.
Pick into: Maybe? I'd want to make sure my player going into Dorron is confident, but the depth isn't really here for the Sandslashes to comfortably take on a Ubers UU flex pick. But then again, I'd not discount Dorron support and it's not like qbking3 is a non-mainer.
5. Syndicate [
Baddy Terracotta TTTech Quinn seth]
I rate Baddy higher (with great bias tbh after teaming with him!) than Dorron, though the flex depth here is odd. I guess they picked this into Melos? Why was Terracotta the default pick, though? Anyway, there's a buncha good clickers who could slot into Ubers UU (i didn't check tnps) if Baddy or Terracotta can feed them teams, if they need to, but it seems they won't need to since we already see what their Flex preference is. Is Baddy just flexing into opposing picks? Surely Melos didn't pick into them...? I dunno how much Terracotta builds, though, so that might be a touch of a weak spot?
Pick into: Maybe? I'd def not do it on Week 2, Baddy should be the default here and Terracotta's definitely good enough to make me less confident about my own flex clicker's abilities to grab an easy win. Especially with how many clickers they theoretically have to cycle through, too.
4. Neighs [
Frito, Celeste, hex]
You can't really rate them lower than this, honestly. They probably deserve higher. Frito might genuinely be the best default starter in a vacuum. Their flex depth is a bit of a question mark, Celeste is lovely but I do wonder how much week-to-week building will be just Frito screaming to herself in an echo room that will be the Ubers UU prep channel.
Pick into: Ugh, maybe. My starter is probably 60:40 against Frito at best, but a Frito-supported Celeste? Nah, I don't think I could do it. Maybe as a backup case if other tiers look even bleaker.
3. Elite [Fc
Seraphz Plague TNunes feen]
Seraphz is a good clicker, but needed building support in Ubers UU PL IIRC. Luckily, they have Fc. TNunes, Plague, and feen are all quite capable clickers for an off-week or a flex selection, and again, you're always gonna be struggling against Fc-supported solid clickers. Fc's obviously playing AG, but his presence will be felt in Ubers UU and it's gonna be to your detriment playing against Seraphz.
Pick into: I wouldn't. Maybe if you hear rumors that Fc is crashing out and leaving Seraphz and the clickers to their own, but even then, I'd still avoid it.
2. Kyurems [Imperial, pooshi, Fishyroads, Shadow,
Mozonite]
Award for "most likely to be most incorrect on this ranking"! TBC, neither captain self-bought, but. I suppose we'll see how much folks like Shadow and Imperial are still motivated to lab Ubers UU stuff, Shadow IIRC was actively hoping to not get drafted for UUFPL and then ended up on a totally different team than the one he was in VC with during auction. Mozonite's a fine player, but you can see by where he ended up in the list that I for sure thought he would not be starting over four storied Ubers UU players.
Pick into: I wouldn't. They'd wreck you. Shadow or Fishy can reasonably step into a flex slot and do fine. They'd even be fine as default slot, and I'm not super sure why they aren't.
1. Basculegions [Medeia,
Rasche, Rofna, Bazingatron]
Wooooow the Shymin topranks the team with 3 Shymins. Anyway, when Medeia is on your bench, you did something right for Ubers UU slots. All you need is someone to actually get Rasche to say fucking anything in their starter chat and link pastes more than 10 minutes before scheduled time and you've got a near-unstoppable Ubers UU. RoFnA probably isn't touching Ubers UU but can provide tests, and Bazingatron is going to be a fine presence again assuming you can get Rasche to actually talk. Love ya
Rasche.
Pick into: Gods no. Unless you're hoping that Medeia's timer usage somehow causes their unexpecting teammates to experience cardiac arrhythmia and need to go to a hospital and then miss all their games :P
