I think it should be stressed that S-rank noms should not be taken lightly. The criteria to reach S-rank is vague, but for good reason – it's intentionally kept vague so that mons can have multiple ways to achieve S-rank. That being said, vagueness does not equate to openness. Your nomination...

To properly begin a suspect test (on Landorus-T I'm assuming), you need to provide proper reasoning that can handle opposing viewpoints, as well as have sufficient demand from OU in general. Advocates for Landorus-T's suspect have neither. Their reasoning hasn't been convincing enough to the OU...

You say that Ferrothorn has a huge impact on the tier as well as the other S-rank mons. A large impact alone doesn't guarantee a spot in S-rank. Otherwise, Dugtrio would have been there, and mons which have a "huge impact" such as Greninja (Ash or not) would be there as well. The key function...

I'm with Exploudit on this one. Got sniped, but oh well. Before I begin, I would like to say that a nomination to S-rank should not be done lightly. Criteria to S-rank are vague and therefore it can be tough deciding who gets it. But it's vague for good reason, as there's no one way to get into...

How does Medicham perform fantastically in the offense-based meta? My understanding of an "offense-based meta" is that there are a lot of fast mons (and Landog, of course), such as Greninja (Ash or not), Tapu Koko, and other quickmons. All of which outspeed and OHKO Mega Medicham. That is not a...

Well, this is a new one. I smell a troll, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not trolling. Based on your post, here's how I understood it. If I misunderstand you, please correct me. - You say you don't know what the purpose of the VR is - The VR is filled with toxicity...

I don't post here often (because I don't want to contribute uninformed posts and hamper discussion, so I lurk more), but I feel I am qualified enough to discuss Arena Trap, having seen – I kid you not – hundreds combat situations involving it. I encourage – no, urge – people to please consider...

Good of you to include thought process. Makes job a lot easier. Question one: How do you know which is the safest move? This question is one with a very long answer. I'll try to explain the best I can. The safest move depends on intel both you and your enemy have, and the most threatening mons...

Interesting questions. Regarding your first question. It's very easy finding a Fairy spam core in S/M. It's similar to Dark spam in ORAS – stack a team full of Dark-type attackers with mons like Tyranitar + Weavile. When using Dark spam, your defensive ability will be hurt pretty badly, but...

Why should Dugtrio occupy S? No clear reasons have been presented, as of the time of writing, as to why Dugtrio should be in S. No one has conceived any reasons why Dugtrio should go to S, and Dugtrio's current ranking reflects that the council hasn't conceived any reasons either. To put it...

Everyone seems awfully excited about Diancie coming. I can relate very well, but I would take caution if (not necessarily when) Diancie comes out. Before I begin, I would like to clarify that this is me merely taking educated guesses. Key word being "guesses." None of my statements should be...
