Has Metagross always been this low on usage?
Metagross hasn't exactly gained much new toys and largely the same - only that he has received a nerf as a result of new explosion/self-destruct mechanics.Probably Metagross will be the first pseudo-legendary to fall in UU...
It would be a disaster. Imagine Ferrothorn and Forretress losing half of their HP every time that they enter in battle, and most Steel-types losing 1/4 of their HP. Ice, wich already has a weakness to Stealth Rock, would have to deal with another entry hazard, becoming an even more worse defensive type than it already is. Speaking of Ice-type, Abomasnow would be even more overlooked than it already is. Not to mention the many Grass-types that would become unreliable in OU, such as Celebi, Breloom and Venusaur. Sun, wich already has to deal with Stealth Rock, would become unreliable with Stealth Fire making their Grass-type sweepers lose 1/4 of their health in a switch-in.Fire type stealth rock would be a godsend. ^
The same applies to Chansey, wich is also too overpowered for UU with those Eviotile boosted defenses, but people are talking about her falling to UU.Why are people talking about him going to UU? He would simply just go into BL because he is way too over powered for UU if he does not get enough usage.
BL=/=UU
No, BL was a legit tier in gens II and III. It was basically UU, and UU was below that. That's why there are 46 mons in BL in the RSE meta. UU did /not/ ban 46 mons.BL=/=UU
He wasn't able to be used in UU, but was not simply used enough to be known as OU. I remember looking at that a while ago since i remembered he was not always OU.
Will you have usage stats from both PS and PO?For anyone concerned, no matter how long it takes to get our simulators back online and stable, I will still be posting usage stats for the month, and we have every reason to believe that we'll be able to keep on-schedule for an October 1 tier update. We're lucky that July's stats have such little effect on the tiers (1 part in 24).
For those of you who are missing having the detailed stats that I have posted on sim.smogon.com/Stats, I've made available this zip file available. Use it in good health.
Now if BL being a legit tier back then was true, there would be movesets for the pokemon in that tier. However, that is not the case. These pokemon in BL only have sets for OU. I stand my ground saying that there has never been a pseudo-legendary pokemon placed in UU.No, BL was a legit tier in gens II and III. It was basically UU, and UU was below that. That's why there are 46 mons in BL in the RSE meta. UU did /not/ ban 46 mons.
side note: even if they had, it would have meant that Dragonite was UU at some point!
Don't forget about Regigigas in NU!BL lists used to be based mostly on theorymon. Until about halfway through fourth gen, the BL list for that generation was similarly long but it was decided to unban them all and ban the ones that actually caused problems.
By current policy if Metagross falls out of OU, it will go to UU, and it will be banned if it causes problems.
Metagross may become the first pseudo-legendary to fall to UU, but that's pretty meaningless...there are plenty of actual legendaries in UU, including some with 600 BST (Shaymin, Victini, formerly Mew).
Or Articuno.Don't forget about Regigigas in NU!
The reason why I mentioned Regigigas is because his BST is 670 instead of the typical legendary pokemons' 580 or 600.Or Articuno.
Actually there are a lot of Legendaries in the lower tiers, for example all the Regis are in NU except Registeel, who is UU. Moltres and Entei have both been RU staples for some time, I think.
This is just depressing. Metagross is an awesome pokemon, and it is really sad that its usage is so low.| 43 | Metagross | 4.769% |

Honestly having used Metagross myself just before the BW2 update, I have to say I was massively disappointed.This is just depressing. Metagross is an awesome pokemon, and it is really sad that its usage is so low.
