This really pisses me off. "(Blatantly lists flaws that the Pokemon has) This Pokemon has no use whatsoever!" is an argument that too many people use. Literally 50% of your nomination is for Spikes fucking existing, when they're not even that omnipresent. Mega Beedrill is the fastest physical...

No. Often times people are blinded by the fact that a Pokemon is bad that they forget what their niche is entirely. This is one of those cases. Gallade's niche happens to be Swords Dance + Knock Off + Fighting type. Unlike Medicham, Gallade can actually hit dominant Psychic types like Uxie and...

B+ down to B/B- The majority of my reasoning is the same as why I wanted Tapu Fini to drop from the A ranks, but its flaws are so large that not even B+ is a saving grace for it IMO. As every other bulky Water type rises, Tapu Fini goes down, because I don't think Tapu Fini is any better than...

Everyone is thinking that hail is dead when this Pokemon is still in the tier...... Beartic @ Fairium Z Ability: Slush Rush EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Icicle Crash - Play Rough - Power-Up Punch - Aqua Jet / Rock Slide / Stone Edge Something that I've been...

I'd rather see this in A rank tbh. You've already said most of what I want to say, but bottom line is, the metagame has been far too kind to it, and it's now by far one of the best answers to Scizor, Cobalion and Weavile. At the moment, it's almost the only relevant Fire type in the tier. Its...

A up to A+ A+ is looking extremely vacant right now, especially now that Mega Swampert is gone. Xurkitree basically has no hard counters outside of Blissey, which makes Xurkitree + Cobalion cores superb because Cobalion breaks through Xurkitree's one hard counter. Seriously, nothing else in S...

Maybe a Froslass drop, but how is Gligar a stop to Froslass in the slightest? 252 SpA Froslass Icy Wind vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Eviolite Gligar: 244-292 (73 - 87.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 252 SpA Froslass Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Eviolite Gligar: 408-480 (122.1 - 143.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO And you...

B+ up to A- IMO, these two Pokemon scream A-. It was said that Pelipper rose above them because apparently Choice Specs can be used outside of Rain. I have never seen a Pelipper that's not paired with these two before, and I don't expect to. I don't see why I would use Choice Specs Pelipper...

Assault Vest: S down to A+ Offensive Trick Room: A+ down to A Don't get me wrong, Assault Vest is still a great set and it's the only thing keeping Greninja out of the Top 3. However, the sets main issue is its lack of recovery. While Magearna doesn't have to be paired with a Wish passer, it...

C+ up to B- I think this is a little low. Slowbro and Fighting types are running rampant right now. Offensive Electric types are rare at the moment, the only one is Rotom-Mow, and the two Pokemon perform different roles (Rotom-Mow is a Choice wallbreaker, Raichu-Alola is a Nasty Plot sweeper)...

C+ up to B-/B I've been meaning to talk about this underrated Pokemon for a long time. Clawitzer is essentially the Primarina of the lower tiers, and as such, it has very few relevant switch-ins. And one thing that I think people have overlooked on Clawitzer is Icium Z. With it, Clawitzer can...

A- down to B+ I think that Skarmory is definitely the most forgotten Pokemon in A-, and it's still sitting up there alongside the top-tier threats. I'm pretty sure it's been A- since the beginning, and since then, Landorus-Therian has started running Gravity, influxes of usage in Fire types...

B- down to C+ I've been meaning to make this nomination for a while now but never got around to it. The only reason to use Latias is Healing Wish. Latias is much more passive then its brother due to Latios's extra power, Latias literally invites any Steel type in for free. Tyranitar and its...

Type: Poison/Dark Stats: 70 / 170 (+80) / 160 (+50) / 30 (-30) / 95 Ability: Corrosion Design: It's beefier, has larger fangs, bloodshot red eyes, and a much, much longer tail. It uses its tail to pick up foes from a long distance. Added Moves: Recover Competitive Overview: It's basically a more...

Lopunny-Mega @ Lopunnite Ability: Limber EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Return - High Jump Kick - Power-Up Punch - Ice Punch Weavile @ Life Orb Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Knock Off - Pursuit - Ice Shard - Icicle...

B down to B-/C+: STRONGLY DISAGREE Sableye has always been an incredibly underrated Pokemon in SUMO RU in my eyes, and I find it a large shame that everyone has been giving it such a bad rep lately. It's in no way B- material, and C+ is pure asinine. Sableye has done nothing wrong. In fact, the...

B- down to C/C- Controversial nom but I think Mega Gardevoir should drop like a rock. I just see very little reason to use it over Tapu Lele. Pixelate Hyper Voice isn't really a benefit over it considering it's still walled all of the Steel types Tapu Lele struggles with. Neither is its higher...

I think Gengar is fine where it is. DownAbove doesn't really talk much about how Gengar got better bar the Mega Tyranitar thing, which still doesn't change the fact that Pursuit Tyranitar is still as common as ever. Colonel M brings up a good point about how prediction reliant it is, needing...

C- to Unranked This is a Pokemon that everyone's forgot existed since Day 1. Many Pokemon have been unranked from the VR over the month, yet Victini has always stayed on the rankings. I just don't understand what niche this Pokemon has. Take a look at the rest of C-. Bronzong counters the same...
