PvK's Tier Lock Removal Bingo (Win Discord Nitro!)

[Plague von Karma]

With the tier lock now being lifted on the old usage-based lower tiers, as well as ADV and GSC's, it's only a matter of time before we see like 50 PR threads get made proposing suspects for Old Gen Lower-Tiers. I decided to ask only the smartest people in RoA to assist in making a bingo card. There are many things out there that you can do with these tiers, all of which seem very exciting!

The first person to report a bingo - you can do that here, on my Smogon profile, or Discord - gets Discord Nitro from me. Be quick!​

Also, I prolly missed a few things blame RoA for being stinky. Additionally, these have to be bans/unbans/etc, we gotta get those results! Finally, for spaces like BW snapping Shadow Tag, you only need the usage-based tiers that were locked (UU, RU, and NU, in this case).

THREADS SO FAR:
To help keep track of stuff for you bingo-goers, I'll be linking the relevant PR Threads. ADV NFE Clause was recently revived by cool individual HSOWA so keep your eyes on that one.

Thread	Result
ORAS UU Conkeldurr	Ban
BW RU Shadow Tag / Sleep	Ban Bughouse is going in for BW NU as well, get hyped lads.
ADV NFE Clause	Was shot down initially, revived by cool individual HSOWA and looking better now.

I've edited in a table that'll try to keep track of the various Policy Review and Ruins of Alph threads. If there's any anywhere else, let me know and I can update it. This is looking to be pure flames.

Yes I forgot ADV UU Baton Pass I'm tired

Just like Yu-Gi-Oh players, we're here for the bans

Latias was one thing, but Dusknoir sounds like it might be too broken for DPP OU and I'd be surprised to see it drop there. How's anything going to pull off a spin against those overwhelming base 135 defenses?

ORAS UU Conk is likely being Suspect Tested, prepare to strike the first entry off the list!

I don’t really use the virgin Discord anymore, could I request a roingus image as a prize instead?

Absolutely, god bless roingus

uhhh

 

[Plague von Karma]

Conk is gone, it begins...

 

[Heavyweapons Mann]

I feel like posting an image whenever a square is completed

 

[Plague von Karma]

I really missed SM UU Blissey huh

We'll get em next time.

All this talk about ADV UU's NFE clause, the real question is when does Slaking get freed

Not exactly a Smogoff-worthy post, but I love to see the tier locks gone. "Preserving" metagames makes no sense when the playerbase hates the status quo. My guess for axing is a lot of lower tiers kicking out Baton Pass. GSC UU and NU might shake up a bit too. Free Vileplume!

You rly want to free Vileplume in GSC NU when his prevo is already one of the best Pokémon in the tier

 

[Bughouse]

why do you have bw nu mola on this list? There is zero chance of that happening lol

I have a dream and I had the intellectuals from RoA fill most newgen spaces.

 

[Plague von Karma]

BW RU has banned Sleep and Shadow Tag, giving us our BW free space and a part of the Thanos Snapping of Shadow Tag.

Let's get more blood!

 

[Heavyweapons Mann]

How much of Shadow Tag has to be snapped for it to count for the space?

From all previously locked tiers given the way I worded it; UU, RU, and NU.
