Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I have a feeling that Naganeel is sort of like the Tapu Lele hype that happened in early SM that landed it in S class, only for people to find out that it isn't as broken at it seems to be. I think it is too early in the meta to tell whether or not naganeel is too unhealthy for the tier as the...
Kartana A-A+ Agree
I was one of those people who thought of Kartana as a low-ladder meme(unfortunately), so I never used it and faced against a good one for the past months I have been playing OU until last month, and I realized that Kartana might not be a low ladder meme after all. And I have...
I just wanted to go through the nomination of Magearna dropping from S.
Although Magearna has started to fall off a little bit, I don't think it is time to drop it to A+ quite yet. Although the ban of Arena Trap did affect Magearna in a negative way, it also meant that it lost one of its...
Okay, Thanks anyways. I just wanted to try out for fun.:)
Btw the only reason why I put Modest was for that certain team. I usually use Timid nature but anyways...
Bulu and Tran
I want to go over the some of the previous nominations
Heatran A+ to S: Keep it at A+
Heatran is definitely one of the better A+ ranked mons in the VR, but I still can't see how is it so meta-defining that it should go all the way to S. Even though Arena Trap is banned and has benefited Heatran...
Been hanging around this thread for a little while and I decided that I think I want to just try to post a core(just for fun). Anyways, the core is Mega Diance+Tapu Koko(Sorry no sprites, I don't know how)
Mega Diance @ Diancinite
252 SpA+ 252 Spe 4 Atk
Ability: Magic Bounce
Diamond Storm...
It's been I long time since I have posted in thread, so my arguments could be a little rusty, and sorry about this not being in the discussion slate. However, I think it is about time that Chansey should seriously go to A.
The overall viability has been reflected on its usage in the OTL and its...
Chansey A- - A 100% agree
Right now, Chansey has so many things going for it, just like what BPGXMG said. Rain being such a common playstyle these days with such a much better rain setter via Pelliper and the ever so good mega swampert and kingdra, made Chansey's role as a support and a special...
Uhhhhhhh....
First of all, look at your first statement. You completely missed the point. As you said, Pheromosa does not pack us much raw power as Deoxys-A. However, that is when U-turn comes in. You say the chip is absoulutely worthless and yet it the the reason why Pheromosa is able to...
My point in those calcs is to show how much better is Choice Band Pheromosa than the life orb set. It has so much more raw power and it does way more chip damage with U-Turn, so I think it is this set that Pheromosa deserves to rise for.
Let's remember Pheromosa's niches over Deoxys-A in Ubers...
I want to start of with a nom that I did research in.
I nominate Pheromosa to move from B to Bottom of B+ or slightly higher in B
The set that I have found to be very successful is it's Choice Band Set, which is a set that is slept on lately. It can dent teams very hard and it is more reliable...
I'm just wondering, but I think a possible case for a rise could probably be Tapu Fini, from B+ to A-. Tapu Fini now has some breathing room with ban of Mega Metagross, as it forces Tapu Fini to switch to another pokemon to prevent it from being killed with one of its stab moves. I've started to...
Just to clear things up, I don't disagree with them both being the same rank. I particularly love Magearna but I am not denying that Lando-T is the best pokemon in OU.
Your post above has convinced me to stop Lando-T for moving up, thank goodness. I have so many internal debates with myself...
Lando-T S-S+ Neutral(leaning more to no)
Lando-T is no doubt the the best pokemon in the OU, and can run multiple sets consistantly, but what differentiates Pdon and and Lando-T is that Lando T still has counters. P-Don has no true counters in the Ubers. There is no way you can directly...
