They're basically just the regular Smogon tiers, but with all existing Pokemon considered.

Posted this about an hour ago in the Dexit discussion thread, but this one seems to be the one where discussion is actually happening, so I'll put it here, too. So this is the image that has been making the rounds on the internet: White is Pokemon that got cut, green is Pokemon that are in...

Yeah, I can't imagine Hawlucha stays OU without Tapu support. Then again, with almost all of the current OU Pokemon being removed, who knows?

I highly doubt it. It looks like Ubers is going to consist of maybe 5-10 Pokemon, essentially an OU banlist. I wouldn't be surprised to see just OU/UU/NU again. It's also possible that the Smogon community will ultimately decide to settle on "Gen 8 Pokebank" tiers (or something similar) that...

So this is the image that has been making the rounds on the internet: White is Pokemon that got cut, green is Pokemon that are in Sword & Shield, and orange is Pokemon that are in with a new Galarian form. We also are 99.9% sure that Mega-Evolutions and Z-Crystals will not be returning. Holy...

A couple things: Running Charizard without Defog/Rapid Spin support is asking for trouble, as it takes 50% damage just coming in on Stealth Rocks if it isn't Mega Evolved, and 25% afterwards. Your team is very weak to Electric-type moves. They hit Celesteela, Toxapex, and Greninja for 2x...

AV Heatran allows it to 1v1 non-AV Magearna sets (especially Shift Gear variants) since it turns Focus Blast into a 3HKO instead of a 2HKO, which my team otherwise has a very hard time dealing with.

That's true, but we all know that a Pokemon doesn't have to be an ice-type to carry an ice-type move. Let's take, for example, Mega Medicham, which normally runs Ice-Punch. Mega Medicham outspeeds both Kyurem-B and Excadrill (both of which it OHKOs as long as Excadrill's sash is broken), and...

Your team is extremely weak to several types of moves. Flying-type attacks hits Breloom for 4x damage, and both Mega Lopunny and Volcarona for 2x damage, with your only flying resistance being Excadrill. Fairy-type attacks hit Garchomp, Mega Lopunny, Breloom, and Kyurem-B for 2x damage...

I've updated the team with the changes suggested by Dragon1277 and NuttyRabbit.

Thanks for the suggestions! Could you explain why you prefer the Rotom set you recommended?

That's an easy fix. Thanks!

Serperior @ Choice Scarf Ability: Contrary EVs: 28 Def / 252 SpA / 228 Spe Timid Nature - Leaf Storm - Knock Off - Hidden Power [Fire] - Glare I wanted to build this team around Scarf Serperior as I think it's an absolutely fantastic (and cool) Pokemon. Its EVs allow it to out-speed Jolly Mega...

Holy crap, did not realize that you are running Flame Body on Talonflame... DEFINITELY run Gale Wings. Gale Wings is the only reason that Talonflame is so powerful.

How difficult would it be to add Leech Seed to the Damage Calculator? Maybe add it in as a hazard? That way it can account for the leech seed recovery every turn. I think this makes sense as it already accounts for leftovers and poison heal recovery. Of course, if this gets implemented, it...
