Data Usage-Based Tier Update for September 2017 (Nov quick-changes @129)

[N_Mareanie]

It's a quick-drop month, the threshold is 1.7%, so no.

I was referring to the ''possible drops for October''.

 

[MaahirMomtaz12]

Yeah, which the drop percentage FOR October is 1.7%...

 

[Project_Mars]

But still, since Aromatisse is largely outclassed by Mega Audino right now, I don't see it going up in usage any time soon.

On another note, please let Heliolisk drop RU. At least give us one of your shitmons, just one will be fine (wanting all of them would be wishful thinking at this point). Aero would be cool too.

Take Dhelmise please.

*Sees that Dugtrio moved from OU to UU

*Pause, skip frame.

Yep, that's me. Now you're probably all wondering how I ended up here? Well it all started when the only ability I had that made me relevant got the boot and since then...

 

[Yung Dramps]

I only realized this now, but...

Dugtrio | 1.009%
Scizor | 0.977%
Buzzwole | 0.935%
Staraptor | 0.871%
Volcanion | 0.868%
Conkeldurr | 0.815%

What the fuck?

 

[Sacrificed]

For those who are wondering about changes in ZU.We have no changes but we are out of beta now yay.

Conkeldurr | 0.815%

What the fuck?

Those Pokemon don't have arena trap, either. How can you expect them to be used more than Dugtrio?

Those things are trash so why are you surprised?

...And why are you surprised?

All of the pokemon you've highlighted either don't have a niche in OU, be it for one reason or another, or their respective niches and roles in the metagame aren't as valueable as those that other pokemon offer in the tier. It should be of no surprise to anyone who knows the tier well enough to know that things like scizor and conkeldurr barely rack up enough usage in the tier, and their (un)rankings on the VR should only be a testament to this, especially when the highest rank of any of the mons you highlighted is a whopping C.

 

[Jaajgko]

252+ SpA Mold Breaker Ampharos-Mega Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Umbreon: (52.2 - 61.9%) -- 98.4% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers

252+ SpA Mold Breaker Ampharos-Mega Dragon Pulse vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Eviolite Gligar: 174-205 (52 - 61.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Fabio's gonna have some fun

I know this. My question is "How the hell does Dugtrio still get used more than these even though it's only role was lost? At least these guys have niches, no matter how small.

i mean dugtrio still has a niche of being the fastest ground type and knowing Memento but yeah lol

Because probably there're people that think that arena Trap is still legal at OU lel

 

[Aldertz]

It got banned in the middle of the month I believe, so before then it still had incredible usage, meaning that overall it got a fair bit.

 

[Amphareixon]

"| 35 | Victini | 6.424% | "
Isnt this like more than it needed to get on OU? From what i remember the number to rise was like 4.28 or something

The cutoff is 6.696700846% for rises this month.

 

[TheCtes]

TheCtes, I'm not sure what's going on with Mega-Alakazam and Mega-Gyarados. My scripts *should* have put them both in BL.

Yeah, alright that's fair. Matters little anyway and they're both close to the standars cut-off line, so why bother too much with a single swift.

Gyarados-Mega is higherthan I suspected it would be. Victini sure increased in usage with the Dugtrio ban as well, OU for sure in an update where the cut-off line is not so high.

| 47 | Aerodactyl-Mega | 4.663% |

Oh how the mighty have fallen
I get that UU got many new megas, but it fell well below several megas that have been there for a while too.

Mega Aerodactyl is still A+ on the UU VR. I'm sure that if/when Mega Latias goes, it'll rise up back to S. The low usage is just a classic case of new toy syndrome.

Yeah, I know, I'm just surprised new toy syndrome hit it that badly compared to some of the other megas there.

Yeah, that is odd, but hey, I don't play UU. Guess people just assume that Mega Latias and Rotom-Wash automatically make it bad.

Not arguing with your point, but how would you know if you don’t play UU?

Mega Latias kinda dicks everything in UU.

But how would you be familiar with the reason Mega Aero was S in the first place if you don’t play UU? On that note, how would you know if Mega Lati dicks everything in UU if

I don't play UU.
