    In-game tier list policy discussion thread

    Exploits and glitches aside, how is the BDSP ingame tier list going to account for the Grand Underground? It seems comparable to the Wild Area in Sword/Shield, which, let me remind you, still does not have any ingame tier lists available.

    SPOILERS! Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Data Dumps

    Is there a single pastebin for all the wild Pokemon data yet?

    HGSS In-Game Writeups

    Excellent job on the write-ups! I'm curious why Alakazam and Kadabra are two tiers apart when they function in largely the same ways. Kadabra just fails to get some of the same OHKOs.

    In Game Tiering Threads List

    Weather exploitation can be done even not knowing the month/day (just need to try a few times to get the weather you want) but does have its adverse effects - manipulating the time causes it to reset for a few days, preventing you from triggering other time-based Pokemon encounters and item...

    In Game Tiering Threads List

    I notice there still isn't an ingame tier list thread for Sword/Shield and the attempt to tier Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee also stopped very quickly and abruptly (lots of room to improve that one). Since the old gen threads are still running active, I take it most old-timers joined the protest...

    SPOILERS! Sword and Shield in-game team discussion thread

    Is anybody planning an ingame tier list topic for this gen? Should be fairly complex taking into account the existence of the Wild Area and the forced Exp Share.

    Sword & Shield Battle Mechanics Research

    Well, seeing how the game lets you see the number of buffs/debuffs on both your active Pokemon and the opponent, that should be fairly easy to test.

    Sword & Shield Battle Mechanics Research

    I noticed after Rolycoly's ability increases its speed drastically, Rapid Spin won't grant it a speed boost. Any idea why?

    Sword & Shield Battle Mechanics Research

    Any way to improve the IVs of the Pokemon caught, like chaining in the previous games?

    We still have Ferrothorn and Toxapex... Wish these two had been cut as well.

    Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon In-Game Tier List

    You learn it at lv. 40, by which point you fight only 1/2 Totem battles and Necrozma. The latter outspeeds and OHKOs your Crobat before it can use the move. It probably doesn't have the impact you're arguing for.

    Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon In-Game Tier List

    In my experience, Zorua doesn't cheese Necrozma entirely. If it uses its non-psychic move (I forget which, and its learnset on bulbapedia isn't helping me right now) it will still OHKO before you can do anything. It happened to my Zoroark. The best way to use Slowbro is to catch an...

    Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon In-Game Tier List

    Is there no way to manipulate which stone you get from Pelago? i.e. resetting. That would affect Murkrow's viability heavily.

    Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon In-Game Tier List

    I don't get the sudden Oricorio hype at all. Its stats may be okay the moment you get it but get only worse as the game progresses. Its movepool is extremely shallow with Revelation Dance coming far too late, and it actually gets worse since S/M because Acrobatics is available only two islands...

    It's slightly worse without early Scald access, but mostly the same.

    GSC In-Game Tier List

    Starter, good gym match-ups, early Surf, attacks physically well against water resists.

    SPOILERS! Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon In-Game Discussion

    That would be relying on a 20% chance to cripple a foe. Shouldn't you have a more reliable strategy ready?

    Research USUM TM Locations

    It would probably be a good idea to copy the original SM TM locations list and note any changes that can be found, because a lot of it is exactly the same. Some changes I've observed: 1) Ten Carat Hill now hosts Smack Down instead of Acrobatics. 2) Acrobatics, in turn, can be found on route 15...

    Why is everybody saying Hawlucha is ? Pretty sure it's only route 3.

    Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald In-Game Tier List Discussion

    The wording has never been perfect and has always led to misunderstandings tbqh. Try arguing that Pokemon A is at least as good as Pokemon B, and people will remind you that "we don't compare Pokemon here". I suppose it IS possible to avoid comparison entirely by having incredibly precise and...
