even if we ignore how impractical a move like Hyper Beam is, Porygon-Z has way more problems than just Blissey, which is why it's now BL. Plus, Palkia is an Uber and has outrageous stats to signify it; that alone saves me the trouble of mentioning that it's way better at everything else.
joking. I was joking. No one uses hyper beam.and palkia won't be a sitting duck after KOing Blissey, unlike P-Z.
It's still a great switchin to non-full health ChoiceOgre, Palkia, Lati@s, Darkrai, Shaymin-S, and most Dialga. Pretty good imho.joking. I was joking. No one uses hyper beam.
I imagine that Blissey can't thrive that much in Ubers since there are so many beastly mixed attackers running around.
That would be Forretress if anything, not Scizor. Also Kingdra and Kabutops.Just stunned that there could be a poke that is actually better in Ubers than it is in OU.
Heck, there are pokemon, which are better in Ubers then in UU/NU. Perfect example is Jumpluff - it's solid in UU and good in NU, however in Ubers with permanent sun it's one of the most annoying pokemon to face. Perfect Leech Seeders and used on many quick stall teams with Groudon support. There was a time when Parasect was practically "only Ubers mon" however Kyogre users started to use non-choice sets, which made it much worse. Another prime example is Shiftry - with Wobbufett support really good sweeper, either when using Nasty Plot or Swords Dance. So much stuff is weak against his Grass/Dark STAB it's not funny. And quite gimmicky example, but IMO Ubers is best tier to use it with Sandstorm being quite rare (and hail even more) making it viable if played right. This example is Shedinja and I used it with some interesting results on stall teams, as Shedinja walls surprisingly alot of stuff in Ubers.Just stunned that there could be a poke that is actually better in Ubers than it is in OU.
Blissey in Ubers is as good as in OU, however unlike in OU you need to support your Blissey a bit more, as you mentioned many pokemon here goes mixed, however Ubers is much more special based, giving Blissey perfect niche in this tier. In other words Blissey user must predict with Blissey better then in OU and switch-out with her more often (for example you switch on Palkias Surf and good move is to switch out to steel pokemon, as in this moment Palkia may Outrage you to death. Anyway Blissey can't stay in as easily as in OU). Ubers is almost all of time "pure checking, not countering" as hard counters are hard to find in tier, where almost everything hits like a truck, making predictions harder.I imagine that Blissey can't thrive that much in Ubers since there are so many beastly mixed attackers running around.
Why does everyone think Blissey is frail physically?? She isn't. Blissey can take about the same amount of physical abuse (LOL) as min/min Kyogre. To put it into perspective, she can sometimes survive a CB EQ from Groudon with just 4 HP/252 Def/252 SpD Calm.blissey is viable in uber, but physical attack from basically anyone = instant death unless its ghost type.
Shaymin will rise comfortably, seen one Heracross all month I think. I can see Flygon moving up the rankings, he's been everywhere lately.Hmm... It is a weekend and Doug's probably getting the stats ready...
So, do you guys thiink that Heracross and Smeargle will drop or not? Shaymin's rising for sure though...
And I think Top usage will be Gyarados or Tyranitar. Heatran is weak to both of them and Starmie.
In UU... Well I personally fell like there are more Spiritombs than Venusaurs, but Milotic remains first.
As for Ubers... Don't know much xD
People need to stop throwing the word outclassed around like they know what it means.Alakazam is outclassed by Azelf and Scizor pursuits it for breakfast. Uxie and Shaymin, maybe Porygon-Z, are comfortable in OU.
What he said.People need to stop throwing the word outclassed around like they know what it means.
Alakazam has 5 more base speed, 10 more base SpA, access to Encore. Azelf can never outclass Encore, it can perform a different niche, but Encore (or even enough speed to reliably beat things like Starmie and ScarfScizor) can be enough reason to use Alakazam instead of Azelf without being "outclassed".
Alakazam cant stealth rock, alakazam cant rapid spin,alakazam is killed by 1 bullet punch, alakazam cant get past blissey without being crippled or without taking big damage, alakazam cant kill TTAR as easy as Starmie(situational)People need to stop throwing the word outclassed around like they know what it means.
