Tuesday 3rd November

Today, I hosted an hour long seminar about terrain offense, namely exploring the impacts it has on the tier, and in what ways it's being utilized. I asked a series of 7 questions and got some pretty cool answers.

1: Which Tapu/terrain do you believe is better in the tier right now, and why?

Pretty much everyone who took part in the discussion agreed that Tapu Lele was the better of the setters, and that Psychic Terrain as a whole was superior. It was often mentioned that, due to Lele's nuclear options and STABs in tandem with the breaking power of Alakazam and the utility of blocking priority that it was generally better of the two.


2: If you could pick a terrain to have on your team, would you pick Grassy Terrain or Psychic?

It was generally agreed on that both terrains had their benefits, but for its purposes, blocking priority is invaluable for frailer setup sweepers that are prone to revenge killing.


3: What abusers stand out the most to you, regardless of what terrain type is being used?

There were a lot of answers for this one. Hawlucha was a pretty obvious one, but there were a lot of mentions of Alakazam, Volcarona, and Polteageist being particularly strong as they appreciated having priority checked, and how all three appreciated the power boost of their Psychic-type moves. Necrozma was another obvious mention, however Galarian Articuno was mentioned as well due to its access to Competitive to dissuade Defog users. I also brought up Weakness Policy Aegislash, Zeraora, and Blacephalon as well.


4: What Pokemon do you feel struggle against terrain offense, and why?

Pokemon that make use of priority, obviously, really hate dealing with terrain offense. Bisharp, Crawdaunt, and Dusk Lycanroc were among the most commonly mentioned. Chansey isn't quite a fan of it either, even on the Special side. Aegislash, though, was a bit of a hot point. I argued that a mixed Weakness Policy set was awesome on Grassy Terrain, but we all agreed that Psychic Terrain is fairly annoying for Shadow Sneak shenanigans.


5: In what ways do you feel terrain offense is best facilitated? For example: do you like sticky web support, screens support, suicide leads, etc.,

Suicide leads were probably the most agreed upon. Aurora Veil was brought up a bit as well, but we mostly settled on facilitators like Ribombee, Mew, and Azelf as being among the better of them. Azelf, specifically, is likely the best of the bunch, as it's able to not only set screens and rocks with its great speed tier, but also immediately lay out offensive momentum with Explosion.


6: Is the state of terrain offense in the tier problematic to you, and if so, why?

Pretty much everyone agreed that in of itself it wasn't problematic, but it boiled down ultimately to the abusers. People generally want Pokemon like Hawlucha gone due to how easy it is to completely wipe games after dishing out some chip damage, which terrain offense is extremely good at doing. Electric Terrain was brought up as an option that was underutilized, however, most people, including myself, argued it was a bit too niche since Pincurchin is subpar as a facilitator.


7: If there's something you could do about terrains in the tier, be it add something or remove something, what would you do, and why?

This one had a lot of fun answers. Among them, people were ambitious to suggest additions to terrain offense as opposed to removals. People suggested Misty Terrain buffs, such as a base power buff for Water or Fairy moves, as well as a drop for Tapu Koko. Though, there were some removals suggested, such as with Tapu Lele and Hawlucha. It seems that most people agree that Hawlucha and Tapu Lele are problematic as far as terrain offense goes, and that Tapu Bulu and Grassy Terrain teams are balanced.


---

Overall, this was a really fun event to hold. I'm honored that I was allowed to host it, and I hope I get to do it again sometime!
 
Wednesday 4th November Seminar


806.png
What's your thoughts on Blacephalon and what sets of it have you been using ?
806.png

​
Most people agreed that Blacephalon is a premier threat in the current metagame in UU and something really hard to check thanks to its great STABs, and great special attack and speed. Sickist highlighted the fact that Blacephalon puts a lot of pressure on the teambuilding and force people to run some priorities in order to check it (such as Aqua Jet or Sucker Punch). senegal piped up by saying that Choice Scarf sets really put an insane amount of pressure on the tier with only 2 moves (basically its 2 STABs). Other players mentionned that Blacephalon's weakness are also pretty easy to cover. For example, Tapu Lele is a perfect teammate since its Psychic Terrain allows Blacephalon to not fear opponent's priorities. Some people also said that Choice Specs variants were really tough to switch-into overall. Blacephalon's check are pretty limited : Hydreigon, Incineroar or things like SpD Bulletproof Kommo-o were the most common things that people thought about. Last but not least, most people agreed that Choice Lock set are the best way to use Blacephalon..!

637.png
What's your thoughts on Volcarona ?
637.png

​
Volcarona has been a more controversial topic since some people seem to really hate it while others think it wasn't that bad and not as annoying as things like Blacephalon. Twilight highlighted the fact that even if Volcarona restricted the teambuilding, it still has some good answers. However, Monkey25 & Datsplashtho mentionned that offensive checks that are using priorities to revenge kill Volcarona always take the risk to get burned by Flame Body which is deadly for them. Like for Blacephalon, people agreed that Tapu Lele is a great teammate for it thanks to its Psychic Terrain. On a final word, Twilight said that "volc is more broken on paper than practice [...] but its still rly strong" while senegal said that "the meta is overprepared for offensive fire types atm, thats probably all".

What's your favorite weather at the moment and what do you think of them ?
smoothrock.png
icyrock.png
​

Rain & Sun teams seem to be the most talked about weather even tho some players highlighted the fact that Sand teams are insanely good thanks to Dracozolt which is one of the deadliest threat at the moment in Underused. Some players mentionned that Rain seems to be the more common archetype even tho it's not the best or the strongest. Others disagreed by saying that Rains are really hard to deal with at the moment thanks to Thundurus(-T) or Pokemon such as Omastar, Kingdra etc..On the other hand, UU7L bookshelf mentionned that current Sand teams are basically Hippowdon + Dracozolt + 4 fillers. Twilight mentionned that it's way harder to have checks to Sun teams such as Venusaur than checks to Rain abusers because there is more common and natural checks to those threats. Some people mentionned that Politoed is also not the best weather setter and overall momentum sinkhole..however Rain teams are also the teams which can have the more diversified abusers (Swift Swim users, Steel-types, powerful Water-types or Electric-types.. Hurricane users etc..). On a side note, we talked about Aurora Veil since Hail on its own is pretty bad and while people like Twilight and senegal seem to say that it wasn't that bad, others such as Mystras Leoxses or Emboar56 mentionned that it helps way too much setup sweepers to snowball even more than usual.

This evening, the UU room discussed the tier's Rock types!
(Moutemoute prepare to have your formatting stolen!)

719.png
Starting off, what defensive Rock types do you consider "the best of the best", and why?
464.png


Sir Tetris and Mystras Leoxsys both quickly responded Diancie, and Mygrein mentioned Rhyperior as well. Most of the room users generally agreed both were pretty solid in the metagame due to their consistent defensive capabilities, like checking dangerous Fire types, such as Victini. stavik1234567890 mentioned Nihilego, due to it's ability to check Volcarona like the others, while also setting up Toxic Spikes. However, users seemed to think Nihilego less in the defensive department overall. The chat then continued making poorly timed Rock jokes before moving on to our next question.


745-d.png
How about offensive Rock types?
639.png


The next question immediately filled the chat with a resounding "Lycanroc-Dusk". Totem Skarm also mention Rhyperior as also being a offensive Rock as well as a defensive Rock type. However, the consensus was that Lycanroc-Dusk, Terrakion, and maybe even Stakataka were at the top of the list. A Cake Wearing A Hat also mentioned that "freeing murder dog was a mistake", if that gives any insight on what the feeling was there. Mystras Leoxsys mentioned that Nihilego could pull off an effective offensive set with Meteor Beam alongside a Power Herb, and TMM backed this statement as well. Stakataka, while more seen as a "meme" to the room users, was mentioned being a very serious threat on Trick Room based teams.


142.png
Moving on, what are some of your favorite niche Rock types?
526.png


After calling Terrakion "niche" for some reason (it's not), the room users mentioned several, seemingly forgotten, Rock types, such as Archeops and Omastar. Avarice pointed out Aerodactyl as an effective suicide lead, being able to get rocks up and taunt Azelf and Mew. Totem Skarm mentioned Gigalith, saying it was still decently viable in the tier. Stakataka was again brought up, as it is noticeably more niche then the other offensive Rock types mentioned earlier. Omastar was mentioned as a viable Rain Abuser, being able to outspeed threats under Rain and threaten to KO them.


793.png
Finally, do you think Rock types are good or bad in the current metagame, and why?
139.png


The general consensus was that Rock types are decently good in the metagame. Despite the tyrant ruler of Scizor being present in the tier, most users agreed that Rock types were consistent and definitely viable picks on teams, due to their typing, utility, or offensive and defensive prowess they provide to the table.


The seminar was a little short, but this was my first time hosting, so my bad. Thanks to Estarossa for allowing me to host this, and thanks to A Cake Wearing A Hat for stopping a room tour halfway through so I could start the seminar on time, heh. I hope to bring you all another seminar soon, till then! Enjoy!​
 
Saturday 7th November Seminar


880.png
What's your thoughts on Dracozolt ? Was the release of its Hidden Ability a good thing for it ?
880.png

​
While at the beginning of our discussion some people found that Dracozolt isn't that bad, they quickly change their minds once it was shown that most of Dracozolt checks can be bypass with ease thanks to either Draco Meteor or Fire Blast. Overall, people agreed that this Pokemon is really good and doesn't need a lot of support to be efficient. The fact that Hippowdon is super good in this metagame also helps a lot Dracozolt. We tried with others people to find some solid checks to Dracozolt but it wasn't something easy. While Hippowdon is the best answer to it, things like Tapu Bulu, Gastrodon or Tangrowth can also be wear down by Entry Hazards or punish by either Fire Blast or Outrage from Life Orb Dracozolt. We even talked about some shenanigan such as Lightning Rod Togedemaru with special defense but even this Pokemon is dent by LO Fire Blast unfortunately. While Tapu Bulu seemed to be a good check the fact that it negates LO recoil with Grassy Terrain and doesn't anything to ensure the KO on Dracozolt is quite bad for a check. Some people brought nice option as offensive answer like BigFatMantis with Trace Gardevoir which can copy Sand Rush and outspeed Dracozolt. People agreed that Sand Rush has a huge buff for Dracozolt and definitively its best ability right now because it allows it to be a powerful revenge killer and breaker in the same slot.

494.png
What do you think about our V-Create Star Victini ?
494.png
​

The Damned highlighted the fact that losing Pursuit and gaining Heavy-Duty Boots is a real bless for Victini which is able back and forth with ease on the field even with Entry Hazards up. People mentionned that Victini is a pretty versatile and dangerous threat thanks to either Choice Band, Choice Scarf, LO, Expert Belt or Heavy-Duty Boots. Its movepool was also talked about and we agreed that it's also a great trait to Victini since it has useful tools such as V-Create, Bolt Strike, Grass Knot, Final Gambit, U-turn, Trick, Glaciate etc.. which allows it to pressure a lot of Pokemon and be pretty versatile. Some players like BigFatMantis highlighted its weakness to priorities such as Sucker Punch or Aqua Jet but others replied that the sheer bulk of Victini allows it to handle most of them without fearing an OHKO. We also expressed our concern about the difficulty to switch into Victini, particulary some variants like CB with Sun support.

681.png
What is your feelings about the return of Aegislash in UU ?
681-b.png
​

This last topic was also our quickest. People agreed that Aegislash is still a threat in Underused even tho it's not the deadliest thing out there. The Damned summarize this feeling in one sentence "It's probably still busted. It's just no longer the most busted mon here.". Overall people agreed that the great versatily of Aegislash is still really huge. Being able to either be defensive with SubToxic variants or offensive with either SD, Choice Specs, Autotomize, Sub + 3 attacks etc.. allow Aegislash to be a dangerous threat to deal with. We might need to wait a bit to see this Pokemon regain its status of nightmare..!


Once again this seminar was great and a lot of people talked during it especially on the Dracozolt topic which lasts over 20 minutes on its own ! Thanks again to every person that gave his/her thoughts, see you soon in another new seminar !​

Nasty Plot users in Underused : strenghts and weaknesses !
Status.png
​

Today we talked about the viability of Nasty Plot users in UU ; who are the best, the worst but also if Nasty Plot is something useful on them. The vast majority of the participants agreed that Hydreigon and Thundurus seems to be the most potent users of Nasty Plot. Hydreigon has been talked about a lot since it also provides some serious defensive utility thanks to its typing and ability which allows it to checks some notorious threats like Blacephalon. senegal and I mentionned bulky NP sets to be able to check some offensive things while still being able to pressure defensive threats thanks to Nasty Plot. Thundurus was another Pokemon that was quite talked about due to its great speed tier and fantastic coverage options such as Focus Blast, Grass Knot or Sludge Wave/Bomb. Most people agreed that Thundurus-I was overall a better NP users than its therian forme due to its better speed tier. Thundurus-Therian is indeed more seen as a powerful pivot with either Choice Specs/Scarf or Heavy-Duty Boots. Alakazam was also brought on the table as a potent NP users but some players like senegal was wondering if it wasn't too hard to use NP on a Pokemon so frail. ShwiftyShiftry answered him by saying that Alakazam tends to force switchs which can be use to setup with Nasty Plot. Moltres-Galar was another Pokemon which was talked about and even tho it has a smaller niche than Hydreigon as a Dark-type NP users, the fact that it's able to snowball with more ease than Hydreigon allows it to be a pretty good user of Nasty Plot. Mygrein mentionned than QCQD Slowbro-Galar is still a potent user of Nasty Plot in this metagame. Then we decided to address Nasty Plot Gengar and most people agreed that it's kinda tough to play Gengar with Nasty Plot at the moment and that you would prefer some extra coverage on it. Epic Slag and I mentionned potent Nasty Plot set with Choice Scarf and Trick to bother both offensive and defensive teams. senegal said that he feel like Rotom-H/W/M is overall an underexplored option as a Nasty Plot user even tho Thundurus seems to look better due to better special attack and speed. Other quick mentions were also talked about such as Mew or Togekiss but the metagame isn't nice to them at the moment so it's quite hard to play them or to play them with Nasty Plot.


As usual thanks to all participants for their contributions. See ya soon in another seminar !​

797.png
Celesteela has been the most used Pokemon during the last 2 weeks, what do you think about it ?
797.png
​

Everyone agreed that Celesteela is one of the best if not the best Pokemon in the whole tier. Some people even claim that it may be too good, too hard to break and overall too much for Underused, and thus should be ban or suspected. Sickist mentionned that Celesteela is really tough to wear down due to Leech Seed + Protect while Malware Mobius said that he saw Celesteela like Landorus-T in OU. For most people, Celesteela's best set is its specially defensive set even tho special Autotomize was mentionned many times as another really great option thanks to its great coverage and Meteor Beam + Power Herb. In term of checks, most people agreed that Celesteela is pretty annoying to wear down and that even some dedicated checks like Magnezone can lose the 1v1 if they're Leech Seeded on the switch-in. However, AV Magnezone was brought as a good option to handle it as well as Tentacruel thanks to its typing, ability in Liquid Ooze and Knock Off. Other checks were mentionned like Victini, Zeraora, Sub Suicune or Rotom-Heat.

What do you think of the new metagame now that the 4 broken Pokemon are banned ?​

Once again, most people agreed that the recent bans were a good thing for a tier and it's much more enjoyable now. BigFatMantis mentionned that in his opinion, the metagame would have been great even without Weavile and Blacephalon gone. Some people mentionned that some Pokemon are still may be too much for the tier. For example, 467 11 11p mentionned Aegislash, Azumarill, Celesteela and Gyarados. senegal agreed on Azumarill. Totem skarm and Mygrein complained about Celesteela. Due to the ban some Pokemon have become and BigFatMantis mentionned Gengar as a Pokemon which enjoy Blacephalon ban. Overall people like the current metagame and are waiting to see what's gonna happen !

380.png
How does everyone feel about Latias?
380.png


BigFatMantis started off, stating that Latias as average in the tier. Bandkrook says Latias is fine, but not overwhelming. Monky25 mentioned Latias being a good check to the newest drops, being Blaziken and Zapdos-Galar. bb skarm said they enjoy running a defog variant with soul dew, allowing it to check Blaziken from full HP, while also providing Hazard Control. Fusion Flare mentioned Scarf Latias as enjoyable and usable. In general, everyone kinda agreed that Latias' Choice Scarf set was one of the best sets right now. Healing Wish is a nice attribute to abuse on these sets, making Latias more of a team player. BigFatMantis mentioned Scarf and CM being most likely the best sets for Latias right now. Bandkrook agreed with this statement, adding CM being very potent in the tier.

soul-dew.png
What has everyone been using to deal with Latias?
soul-dew.png


BigFatMantis laid out that Celesteela is one of the more hard checks to Latias. Baphlet and Bandkrook mentioned Primarina and Azumarill as checks to it as well. Monky25 said that Aegislash was a nice check because Latias isn't running Mystical Fire as much, and also mentioned Incineroar and Scizor being able to take a Thunderbolt, and counter with Knock Off or U-turn. The general consensus was that Bulky steels and Bulky fairies did well against Latias.

784.png
What does everyone think of Kommo-o in the current metagame?
784.png


BigFatMantis stated that Kommo-o is a top notch defensive anchor better than he thought anyone would've imagined. They also mentioned that they thought that Belly Drum and defensive were the best sets. Bandkrook pinned Kommo-o as very versatile, and that he didn't expect it to be this good without any recovery. Bandkrook also mentioned that the Offensive Stealth Rocker set is pretty good, and that Body Press was a huge addition to Kommo-o's kit. Overall, people felt that Kommo-o is very solid in the current metagame.

dragon-scale.png
What have you been using to check Kommo-o?
dragon-scale.png


@MilkyOmo mentioned that they had been using the slowtwins, both Kanto and Galar, to check it. Bandkrook followed up, mentioning Latias, Amoonguss, and Tangrowth can all check different Kommo-o variants. Monky25 mentioned that Alakazam and Hatterene also work to beat it down. Bandkrook restated that Belly Drum sets are harder to check, but Amoonguss and Tangrowth do a good job of keeping it in check.
BigFatMantis also mentioned that offensive Celesteela good check to Kommo-o, too. BigFatMantis followed up, saying that checking its offensive sets is a lot different to checking its defensive sets.

Bag_Throat_Spray_Sprite.png
What has everyone been pairing with kommo-o in a general sense?
Bag_Throat_Spray_Sprite.png


Monky25 and Bandkrook threw spdef Jirachi as a great partner, being able to check most of what bother Kommo-o, while also being able to provide Wish support. Crushy Soul also mentioned Aegislash as a good partner. Mygrein suggested Ninetales-Alola, being able to set Aurora Veil for Belly Drum variants of Kommo-o. Bandkrook mentioned that Victini is a good partner for offensive variants of Kommo-o, being able to get past Amoonguss and Tangrowth, which offensive variants of Kommo-o struggle with.

373.png
How does everyone feel about Salamence in the metagame?
373.png


1607057328024.png


After vivalospride's expression of passion for Salamence, 467 11 11p and xinc said "its fine". 467 11 11p commented further, claiming that they really doesn't think its ban worthy or troublesome at all. Monky25 stated that they thought Salamence would be busted but its fine, solid A/A- mon, according to them. The general consensus was that defensive Salamence variants tend to be easier to slot in teams, and that defensive sets are overall better in the metagame right now. Bandkrook mentioned that the addition of Heavy-Duty Boots help Salamence's longevity, alongside it having a solid defensive typing. As far as handling Salamence, Celesteela and Primarina were mentioned as good answers, as well as Azumarill, Rocky Helmet Skarmory, and Choice Scarf Latias being decent checks. Monky25 rattled off a list of several checks to offensive and defensive variants, such as Rotom-Wash, Hatterene, Lycanroc-Dusk, Nihilego, and Alolan-Ninetails, all being able to threaten Salamence. General partners for Salamence tended to run the line of either bulky faries or bulky steels, as mentioned by BigFatMantis, Monky25, and Bandkrook. Overall, it was decided that Salamence is a good part of the metagame, while not being absurd, and providing either a good defensive check to Fighting and Grass types, or being an offensive setup sweeper or wallbreaker.

Thanks to all for participating, thanks to Estarossa for letting me host this at the last possible minute. Also thanks to Moutemoute for being AFK the entire seminar so that they didn't have to see that mess unfold. The seminar lasted ~28 minutes, and had moderate participation. Till next time!

sorry for hl'ing tf outta you in that seminar viv :(​
 
Wednesday 9th December Seminar


257.png
What's your thoughts on Blaziken since it wasn't banned by the UU Council ?
257.png
​

This was literally a hot topic (got it ?) and most people agreed that Blaziken is one of the most threatening threat in the UU metagame. Some people mentionned that it should be suspected due to its sheer power and the fact that it's able to beat entire teams after a Swords Dance and quite tough to revenge kill without priorities due to Speed Boost. Some people mentionned that its 4 MSS was annoying for it and that it can't beat the entire tier since it needs some specific coverage to be able to beat things like Salamence or bulky Water-types. Most people agreed with the fact that SD + 3 attacks in the best way to use Blaziken with SD + STABs + Filler (either Thunder Punch, Knock Off or Stone Edge). To deal with it, people mentionned defensive Salamence and priority users such as Azumarill or Crawdaunt.

113.png
Defensive users of Teleport in UU : Chansey & Slowking
199.png
​

People agreed that Teleport is still a great move and that its users are still quite nice alongside breakers. With the rise of Slowbro, Slowking is better than ever. Slowking was mentionned as way better than Chansey due to its ability to check powerful threats such as Blaziken or Terrakion. Chansey wasn't talk about a lot and people agreed that Slowking is better than it to pivot. Future Sight is still a great tool for Slowking.

807.png
With the rise of Hippowdon in OU, what do you think of Zeraora ?
807.png

​
Zeraora is one of the greatest pivot in UU and people really like the fact that it can pressure a lot of Pokemon while being able to pivot effectively. Even tho Haffling mentionned that Kommo-o was pretty great to check it, Twilight reminds him that Play Rough Zeraora is pretty common now and can beat effectively Kommo-o with this filler. Monky25 highlighted the fact that Zeraora is a great pivot thanks to Heavy-Duty Boots and its nice movepool. People mentionned that Grass-types are great answers to it even tho Tapu Bulu and Tangrowth don't like the few Toxic variants of Zeraora. Krookodile was mentionned as one of the best way to pressure Zeraora thanks to Intimidate and its typing. Choice Scarf variant of it are pretty hard to deal with for Zeraora. Mygrein mentionned that he used a SubCM Zeraora and people found it tough to play with because it can struggle to beat Grass-types. Mystras Leoxses said that he prefered Raikou as an Electric-type SubCM user and Haffling highlighted the fact that SubCM Zeraora doesn't beat AV Tangrowth at all. We can conclude this topic by quoting Twilight..

See ya next time for a new seminar <:​
 
Tour Nights Revival
​
After some time off of Tour Nights to focus on Seminars for the new DLC, I am pleased to announce the return of Tour Nights, back bigger and better than before!

We will now be imploying a system similar to RoA where certain non Roomstaff that have been selected by us to become part of our Tour Nights team will be able to host Tour Nights too through the use of the bot Unown, allowing us to fill out a more wide schedule of tour nights and cover more timezones.

We are looking for more active contributors to the UU tier to join our team, if you are interested and think you would be a good fit then please fill out this form http://spo.ink/amm.

With an increased team size, we will now be following the following format for tour nights,

  • Tour Nights in 3 different timezones, USA (GMT-5), EU (GMT+0), and AUS (GMT+10).​
  • Tour Nights will involve one SS tour, and one extra day specific tour, ie. GSC on Mondays.​
  • Hosts may decide to include a 3rd tour, this could be an extra SS or OldGen tour, or a more unique tour such as SS UU AAA or an unban tour such as UU + Moltres.​
The OP will now be edited to reflect this new information with our new timetables showing. We will be hosting a few tour nights this week while we warm up and get more people to help out, with this week's schedule also posted below.

Thursday 17th December Seminar


894.png
What's your opinion on our brand new Electric-type toy : Regieleki ?
894.png
​

People agreed that Regieleki is a fine Pokemon which really struggles because it can't really beat Ground-types and Zeraora and those are pretty common in Underused. It's pretty rare to find a team which naturally doesn't have either of them in it so Regieleki do struggles in the current metagame. However people mentionned that it's a great Screens setter thanks to it's insane speed tier which allows it to set Screens with ease, people also mentionned that Regieleki is a decent Rapid Spinner and a great revenge killer. But overall the lack of coverage is tough for it and it forces people to run some shenanigans like support with Trick + Ring Target which still doesn't allow Regieleki to bypass abilities like Volt Absorb. am unlucky mentionned a physical set with Normal Gem + Extreme Speed and Acrobatics but otherwise people agreed that special set are probable the best way to play Regieleki..!

What do you think of the suspect of Blaziken and which Pokemon may become better/worst if it was banned ?

​

People were overall really happy about this suspect test even tho some people said as a joke that Blaziken should be quickbanned already. Some people were also surprised that Blaziken stayed that long in the tier and it shows that most people are thinking that Blaziken is gonna be banned. People mentionned that Salamence will not have to be so much used if Blaziken was banned and that Pokemon such as Primarina could become better since the current slot for a Water-Fairy Pokemon is obviously Azumarill thanks to its pirority Aqua Jet which allows it to check Blaziken. Some people mentionned that HO may become a bit worst but Estarossa highlighted the fact that there would be still plenty of Pokemon to abuse of Screens archetype.
