    I'm not really feeling it, yes the replays you provided are quite convincing, but does that really justify it being ranked? Chansey walls it to hell and back and while yes, it does have a lot of coverage moves what your missing is that it loses alot of power if it's not using stabs. And...

    I'm pretty sure they told us to try and not focus on lower ranked mons anymore, but regardless; Yah, Hydreigon can probably rise as it is a pretty good general murder of things, the only problem I have with it is that a) It is sorta outclassed by hoopa and b) it may not be up to par with the...

    Yah, I wasn't being serious about the base stat part, just thought I'd put that in for a bit of fun. And no, bug bug/steel is shit offensively, considering it's resisted by 2 types, and only super effective against 265 pokemon (most dual typings have like 400). And you meantioned how Iron Plate...

    Well, on the swords dance set at least it gets Shadow Claw, so it has options for it, it's not like it's totally cockblocked by latias And that's another thing, Fighting/Ghost is amazing because I'm pretty sure no current pokemon resist both types.

    Nice update eht, nice to see you're getting used to being a thread host. Some things I'd like to discuss: A- => A blah blah blah, 2HKO's most of the tier, blah blah blah, good type synergy with a lot of stuff, blah blah blah, only like 2 mons can switch in for free etc. Basically everything...

    About the Volc drop, I agree with the points being put forward but isn't the whole reason why Volc is where it's at due to being able to pull off a bunch of different sets to get past usual checks like Z-psychic for toxapex, for example. Is being revenge killed by 101+ scarfers really enough...

    Ok thanks, been wondering about that. I'd also like to hear your opinion on a koko rise, do you support it or not? I'm not too convinced that enough has changed in the meta to warrant a rise.

    Was there any other point of running earthquake on Mega Metagross besides koko? I can't think of many other things it would want to hit with it.

    Hasn't Koko always been like that? I don't see what has changed for it to warrant a rise, it really isn't on the same level as Zygarde, Lele, Celesteela and the Super Greninja Brothers, it's special attack is pretty piss weak and it really struggles to kill stuff without using electric moves...

    Question, is the reason why gengar's viability didn't change that much even after losing Levitate was because that most earthquake users in the tier had other ways of killing gengar, i.e Garchomp could just Dragon Claw, Drill had Moldbreaker etc?

    Can anyone tell me where to find the winrate for UUPL mons please? I can't quite seem to find it. And yah the shroom deserves A-, it's bulk allows it to almost always get a spore off and stopping the water pony in it's tracks is pretty good too. like why is it B+ when it's high A- in OU lol...

    I was just listing the reasons why I think it is in C+, I never said it was good.

    BECAUSE IT'S A DOG THAT CAN SET SHIT ON FIRE In all seriousness I think it's mainly Intimidate that keeps it ranked that high, also it stops Scizor harder then a 18 wheeler stops a Mini Cooper which is nice. And it can act as a sort of lure for stuff like Prim and Aero with Z-Wild Charge and...

    Am I the only one who thinks it should just he unranked already? (Edit so no one liner) I feel like 10% is kinda like Buzzwole in a sense, people thought it was a pretty good mon at the start of the generation but soon started to realize that it wasn't that good. And as Zygarde basically...

    I didn't really feel like I was being rude, but if I did come off as rude then I apologize. I also agree with Scizor to A+, it's kinda on the same boat as Bisharp due to the fact that it is a really good mon but there is just too much shit that deals with it and people are so prepared for it. I...

    Nice ranking update, but there are a few points I would like to discuss. 1. Why has Hippo not dropped to A- yet? I'm pretty sure there was enough reason given in the other UU thread as to why hippo deserves to drop, if Volcan deserves to drop out of a full rank then hippo definitely deserves to...

    You're not getting it, I'm using Mega Mence as an example. People in this thread have been using the problems that all offensive or mega pokemon have as an argument for Mega Metagross to stay in the teir, which is absurd, so I used Mega Salamence as an example. Both Salamence and and Mega...

    Announcement np: SM OU Suspect Process, Round 4 - The Robots - Metagrossite BANNED

    This pretty sums up the problem with the anti-ban arguements, they usually focus on either minor problems that Mega Metagross has that are too minor to actually be considered reasons not to ban it or problems that every offensive/mega pokemon has that can't be really considered arguements at all...
