Since he practically has no defensive presence anymore hes not OP. Hes quite easy to handle. You can tell someone hasnt played Nat Dex if they think Lando should be suspected.
Darm can be pivoted around, and shit like Pex lives an EQ. Quite powerful, and the best physical breaker in the game rn by a large margin, but shit like alomomola and porygon2 give it a bad day.
A good mon that suffers from a poor physical movepool. For this reason specs sets usually suffer from a noticeable lack of power with a below average 100 SpAtk. Still, SubDD is a bitch because a +1 Phantom Force is something most teams arent equipped to handle. Ghost/Dragon and decent 88/75/75 bulk (for reference, that rivals quagsire) means that it sets up in bulky cores' face.
The massive surge of water and grass types in response to dracovish has significsntly weakened greninja's power as a breaker.
Absolutely ridiculous and needs to be quickbanned ASAP. Kyurem-Black was kidnapped and Mega Blastoise is worse. Mega Balstoise only has 4MSS to stop it from being truly unstoppable. SpDef Unaware Clef is its only hard check and even then if u get lucky on water pulse confusion rolls you can break past her.
Dynamax once again kinda neutered her sweeping potential. Av magearna is vulnerable to several types of interest and has no recovery which is tough and is defenseless against flare blitz and rend. That said she easily breaks past the most popular unaware user (clef) and fleur cannon is hard to stomach.
Next on the chopping block after Genesect's impending doom.
Eruption + Timid has given Heatran some new life in a niche Scarf set but mostly he does what he does best. I find Wish support increasingly mandatory on him this gen because there are a lot of mons that he needs to be at high health to check and he has no recovery, but thankfully clef is very splashable and is often seen on the same playstyle as Tran so it isn't much of a problem. Withour wish support, however, you have to be very careful with preserving his health. He does too much shit for you to just send into a weak earth power. Zygarde remains a massive threat, as always.
Annoying but honestly nowhere as bad as Darm.
One of the primary meta shapers, Dracovish is still terrifying in a metagame that has adapted specifically to counter him. Theres a reason why WA mons are on every team now. An incredibly powerful nuke, and thanks to S+ defensive typing, has minor utility.
Slightly hurt by risking a 2HKO by Vish but remains a good and annoying mon.
Genesect's incoming ban could kinda give it somewhat of a resurgence, but it still suffers from a shitty movepool and serious 4MSS. Waiting for this fool to get Bolt Beak.
Tyranitar doesn't seem to be OU anymore which is incredibly odd, but Rapid Spin removes Exca's need for sand. Lots of mons comfortably wall Exca rn like corvi and tang and zy so I'd pay attrntion to him.
Almost impossible to wall and has immense physical bulk, making it a good pivot on BO teams. Hes overshadowed by Mega Metagross outside of TR but Meta may not be around in a year.
Priority screens begs the question: why did people forget about Klefki? I rarely see people take advantage of Grimmsnarl's offensive capabilities. Klefki has much better defensive typing and better bulk.
HDB Zapdos is actually really, really good, cause Electric/Flying plus good bulk and recovery allows it to wall almost half the metagame. PP stall is fun too. Zapdos's ability to paralyze an entire team with static and discharge spam is pretty cancer.
Rendered Celesteela and Skarm obsolete. New standard defensive bird that makes for a good wincon. Honestly incredibly powerful.
Great mon that was clearly designed for balance; bridges the gap between defense and offense. I used to think he was bad in gen 6, but Flyinium Z defog sets are incredibly reliable. Regenerator means that you have mild speed control throughout the game.
idk why Garchomp is OU, imo he is quite bad in this day and age. Theres simply no reason to use him as Zygarde is better in nearly every department. Garchomp's defenses are pretty mediocre, and his offenses arent notable without a SD. He cant be TankChomp when hes obliterated by every breaker in the tier. Lando is a better SDer because he has intimidate. And ofc Mega Garchomp is basically throwing.
SubToxic is cancer. Fortunately i dont see a suspect for him anytime soon since he got directly nerfed by Game Freak.
got hurt by the terrain nerfs but is annoying at. The current steel meta could be a death sentence since Tapu Lele has poor coverage so only time will tell if she drops, but by the time DLC drops she could get new tools.
This mon is trash. Its one claim to fame is Court Change, but doesnt have the defensive presence to justify it. STAB Pyro Ball is not strong enough to be scoring any noteworthy neutral kills, so its a generic fire started otherwise.
tbh I dont see why this mon is cherished so much. I get that it's typing and Misty Terrain is good but it has no recovery. This really limits its longevity to basically being a Water Heatran. I find Toxapex superior as my water defensive type.
A good breaker, but I only see her viable when paired with Reuniclus because Mega Metagross is the perfect physical attacker as it is.
This mon took extreme nerfs with the dyna ban but still remains OU for some reason. I guess with terrain remaining popular he can still sweep but hes not very threatening anymore. Aegislash hard walls him which is a problem.
Since rain remains a viable playstyle Pelipper is still OU. But Mega Swampert isnt. I suspect this is because the meta has evolved to hard counter a water type physical breaker that can 2HKO resists (vish). Meanwhile people have discovered how Pelipper has surprising offensive presence in Specs.
