After some consideration we, the NU council, have decided to quick ban Jynx from the NU tier to BL2. Jynx have access to Calm Mind and dual STAB moves Ice Beam and Psychic which makes it almost impossible to counter. Metang is one of the very few counters to it but other than countering Jynx it doesnt serve any further use in the tier. In addition Jynx can access moves like Lovely Kiss, Shadow Ball, Fake Tears and Substitute making it even harder to counter and predict. It provides a rather easy sweep without much effort at all. Therefore Jynx is now banned from NU tier to BL2.

each weekend i think "man i bet some fun stuff is happening in OT right now" and I can't wait until monday morning to read them i made a graph to illustrate what actually happens

get all the OT shinies. i don't rlly like this one, its called original trainer for a reason.

im just saying that in a wall heavy meta with no chance of using any special attackers, bulk up machamp shits on eveyrthing and it can sure be compared to dragonite. It will 2hit k.o any of its ''counters'' with only 1 bulk up, its bulky enough to kill sp attackers that try to kill it Anyways, im pretty sure everyone is gonna say the same thing as I do, with probably better arguments and come in the same conclusion, zard machamp and zam is too good for the UU meta Having to bring 3 pokemons to counter a single charizard set is not healthy for the meta, in no way shape or form is it healhthy lol Can we for once have people that play the damn game on the tier council isntead of people that theorymon everything without even thinking before doing something that changes the whole damn meta. Its already hard enough to adapt to the ever changing meta without having to bring 3 new OP pokemons that if you don't use you are retarded and that needs like 10 movesets (charizard) to then come to the conclusion once you wasted 5m into breeding these pokemons that ooo we are sorry they were indeed too strong for the UU meta and now we have to ban them and GG WP you pokemons are fucking uselesss now untill the day we decide to screw up again and try to bring them down to fuck with you huehuehuehue, we can do waht ever we want we don't play the game and we have all the power in the world to decide what you aregonna use. This is just fucking bull shitt.

She will never truly be yours. How does it feel?

Bin accidentally traveled to Hoenn as I return to Canton :(

I'm talking about before these changes were made, let the UU tier stay as it is and ban chansey. I feel that Umbreon is less banworthy compared to Chansey because of how it gets statused, can't break subs and very little offensive presence Again I don't understand how people find seismic toss not offensive enough. If your pokemon can break a sub then that's enough offensive presence for me. Protect is NOT a shit argument. You run protect on any pokemon, bar chansey, then you have to give up something for it. I run protect on exegg but I give up toxic or leech for that. I run protect on vileplume so then I have to give up aromatherapy for that. Chansey loses nothing when running protect because it has NC. I saw the counters you listed for Machamp as Hypno, Claydol, Exegg. Now imagine the synergy between Machamp and Scizor. Scizor comes in on anything that can take a hit from Machamp and reaches +2 easily that turn. They have enough time to bring back some of the OP pokemon but don't have time to respond to a request thread. If you're not going to respond to these request threads then what's the point of having it? It's just an unnecessary formality and there for the sake of it. I'm very curious to hearing the justification from all 3 council members of how they reached this decision.

make up your mind pls

Instead of banning Chansey and making the UU tier look different (only time will tell if a good or bad sort of different) for a change, they bring back some of the banned pokemon like umbreon, slowking, scizor which will make the tier more unhealthy af. I played UU when all of those were around and so I am definitely in no mood to play it again. Have fun using Slowking in every team to try to counter Machamp and Scizor. Have fun using Chansey / Umbreon to stop Slowking from setting up. Have fun using Scizor for the best switch in for Umbreon and Chansey. This is just a crazy circle. Sorry for this "non productive" post but I really wish the UU tier council would've listened to the community for a change. A suspect ban for chansey would've been fine enough to see if there was change in the meta, but instead you all do this.

I made a graph that gives a better illustration of you weekend:

You can get a god damn Wailord. What else needs to be said?

Title says it all, I know this isn't THE suggestion of the year, nor what's really important to add to the game right now, but I think it would be cool to be able to use 2 braces instead of 1 everstone and 1 brace, when both parents have the nature you want. pros: would make it easier would make it less expensive to refine IVs cons: devs are lazy

I am very skeptical about the whole situation. It's exactly like Nik said- we do not need more OP, S-rank pokemons in UU to make it more enjoyable. We need Chansey out of it. I sometimes feel like tier council is sitting on chair, looking at tier and asking itself "what can we do now to screw up more players?". Come on guys, look at posts of us, players. We did not ask to bring them down. We simply do not need them. We need Chansey out.

Boy, can I see this ending well for me

Sorry for the wait, I have been busy with other things. Let's look at the actual difference here. With gendered pokemon you have the ability to manipulate your pokemon to get exactly what IVs and nature you want. For simplicity, say I wanted a 5x31 IV pokemon with a serious nature. In order to do this I would need to catch 32 pokemon with 1x31 IV and a pokemon with a serious nature. The probability of catching a pokemon with 1x31 IV is 17,34%, so I would be expected to catch about 184 pokemon in order to obtain 32 pokemon with 1x31 IVs. Obviously I would be expected to find a pokemon with the given nature within these 184 pokemon. If I wanted a genderless pokemon of the same quality, I would need a ditto with a serious nature, a ditto with 1x31 IVs, 2x31 IVs, 3x31 IVs, 4x31 IVs and 5x31 IVs. The probability of finding a ditto with 5x31 IVs is 1,74*10-5%, so I would be expected to catch about 5741935 dittos in order to obtain this. Obviously all the other (lower quality) dittos would be expected to be within these 5741935 dittos. If we were to compare, we have 5741935/184 = 31206. So we would be expected to spend about 31206 times as long on getting a genderless pokemon of the same quality as the gendered pokemon - in fact, we would probably have to spend even twice as long, because ditto only has 50% encounter rate, as opposed to the majority of gendered pokemon which belong to an egg group that contains pokemon with 100% encounter rates. Okay, so that was the worst case scenario - what happens if we are not so strict about the quality? If we instead only care about the IVs to be within a given range, the relative difference becomes a bit less. In this example, say I want to make a 5x27-31 IV pokemon with a serious nature. We follow the same recipe as before and find that the probability of encountering a pokemon with 1x27-31 IV is 63,91%, and hence we need about 50 catches to obtain 32 pokemon with 1x27-31 IV. This is in fact a quite poor estimate, since we have ignored that we can easily encounter pokemon with 2x27-31 IVs (23,82%) and even 3x27-31 IVs (5,27%), so the number of expected catches should be below 50. For a genderless pokemon we know we will be expected to have all we need as soon as we have a 5x27-31 IV ditto. The probability of encountering one of these is 0.0486%, which yields about 2057 expected catches. Finally we compare these: 2057/50 is about 41, so we can be expected to spend about 41-82 times as long time to breed a genderless pokemon of this quality compared to a gendered pokemon (depending on the encounter rate of the pokemon used to breed the gendered one.) An interesting point is that breeding 5x27-31 natured genderless pokemon still takes about 11-22 times as long as a perfect 5x31 natured gendered pokemon. It is not that your comment is wrong, it's just a very strong understatement. Considering that the amount spent on breeding a pokemon correlates with its value, we now have a scenario where a 5x27-31 natured genderless pokemon is worth up to 20 times as much as a perfect 5x31 natured gendered pokemon. Considering breeding cost alone (unless there is an update changing this,) a gendered pokemon will be valued at minimum 500k, making genderless pokemon (of lower quality) valued at minimum 5-10m. Although updates might make the actual value of these change, they will remain relative to one another, which means that a genderless pokemon is worth at least 20 gendered pokemon of higher quality. A player will question whether it is really worth spending two weeks on breeding that one genderless pokemon, or if he will rather get some actual results and breed gendered pokemon instead. And in the case of trade, a genderless pokemon will be too valuable for anybody to actually buy, stagnating the entire trading market. You are again entirely correct, but the magnitude here makes it so that this actually is a problem. Instead of genderless pokemon being more difficult to obtain, we're talking about them being so difficult to obtain that nobody is willing to even attempt obtaining one. I really already answered this one, but I can explain how ditto will pretty much fill the exact same role by allowing genderless pokemon to breed with its own spieces. Say that you want to breed a 5x31 IVs natured pokemon. You want to start with 32 1x31 IV pokemon. However, since ditto has 50% encounter rate, and most genderless pokemon are far rarer than that (are there even any of the at more than 30%?) the most efficient way of doing this is by catching 32 1x31 IV dittos, and then 32 random pokemon of the spieces you want to breed. This gives ditto pretty much exactly the same status as before - the go-to genderless breeder. Its other roles, such as a gender-converter, will of course remain unchanged. You are basically saying that breeding a lower quality pokemon is easier than breeding a higher quality pokemon. But if I want my pokemon to be of a certain quality, this applies to all of my pokemon, not just my gendered pokemon for some arbitrary reason. Sure, there might be genderless pokemon who do not require 31 speed and a hidden power to be competetively viable, but there are lots of gendered pokemon with the exact same trait, and as I showed above, these are considerably easier to obtain. Unless the gender of the pokemon was somehow a sign of quiality in itself, and genderless pokemon happened to be of naturally higher quality, I don't see it being relevant. I'm not sure if I understand this correctly - if you wanted a 2x31 IV pokemon, you can find it in the wild 1,35% of the time, or breed two 1x31 IV pokemon, which are found 17,34% of the time in the wild. Needless to say, you will be expected to encounter two 1x31 IV pokemon before a 2x31 IV pokemon, so the time invested will be a lot less when breeding. If by "cheaper" you mean by actualy pokeyen, pokeyen can also be obtained by spending time, and for high quality pokemon the amount of time needed to get the money for breeding is far less than the extra time you would have to spend finding that high quality pokemon in the wild. Yes, genderless pokemon can breed, but the efficiency of this is quite insignificant compared to gendered breeding. You will have to catch a ditto for the last step in your chain breeding. The difference in quality between this and the quality of thing you actually want is usually just a factor of 30 (the difference between a natured and non-natured pokemon.) Since you will only have to use low quality breeders for gendered breeding (for example 1x31 IV pokemon) the difference in quality is usually a factor in the millions. (Example: It is about 172.258.046 times as likely to encounter a pokemon with 1x31 IV than a pokemon with 5x31 IVs and a gicen nature ) I hope I didn't miss anything. In any case, the point is that genderless breeding, even when aiming for sub-optimal quality, requires an unrealistic amount of time. When the amount of time required to breed genderless pokemon is hardly comparable to the time required to breed gendered pokemon, the value of the respective pokemon is also hardly comparable, making genderless pokemon unfit for the market. Given that the last update changed the breeding system form a way of consistently producing high quality pokemon to a way of improving the quality of your pokemon, it is disapointing that only certain pokemon can be improved (as opposed to before, where all pokemon could be mass produced, as long as there existed a single good ditto on the server.) I don't care if you want to keep genderless pokemon more difficult to obtain than gendered pokemon - this is ensured by the rarity of the genderless pokemon themselves. I only want the breeding system to actually work on every pokemon in the game, or at least make every pokemon in the game practically obtainable in some way.

os not wanting to visit a grill

im all for scizor umbreon and slowking, since they got banned unfairly. But as for the other 3 charizard machamp and alakazam I think its a little overboard . I feel like with alakazam in the tier , running chansey or umbreon will be a must just to counter that thing or else its just gonna shread holes in all the walls we have. Charizard is like a magmar but like 10x better , sure its attack stat is a little less good, but its typing makes up for it , also charizard has many viable sets that magmar wish he could run. On the top of my head i can name 4 good sets that charizard could run and they are all viable in the current meta, sub punch set, sword dance set, belly drum set, sp attacker set. Also Charizard gets like magmar a priority move to kill stuff that otherwise is faster then him. So basically Charizard you gotta scout his moveset and you can never expect what hes gonna do untill its too late and you lost a valuable (or multi) pokemons. As for machamp, its just like a stronger azumaril for me, it may not ahve a stab waterfall but a stab super power makes up for it , also gets acces to all the ele punches and GUTS! And the bulk up set is actually viable on him.

Dont lie to me you liked my posts Literally

Lol, wait the link is dead, lemme post another dead link.

You are mistaken. This feature was added in either gen 4 or 5 and does not exist in Gen 3. Also it's because this would lead to widespread scamming with players claiming to be selling 6x31 IV eggs or guaranteeing that the egg will be shiny when neither are known until after hatching. Even though the staff don't moderate trade disputes, they have done what they can to make scamming difficult for those dishonest players out there by adding features like the orange box around shinies, 3 confirmations, and a comma for the amount of money being traded.

>_> traitor i'll take these jj unless someone beat me to it >_> this looks fishy

hugs for walrus. *hugs* walrus deserves hugs. yeah I got on one day to do my regular dueling and amanu approached me for dueling advice like usual except this time he said: "you know I've been telling everyone we're the same person for like 6 months, right?" I was like: um..... no? Then he says: you know they believe me too right? I was like: what? xD Then my next thought is: !!! * that's why those random people have been saying "Hi amanu" to me in viridian. lol ~~~~True story! Except for the advice of course. Now that I think about it, people probably still think I'm amanu. I'm not sure if that is flattering or not. Anyways, sorry for derailing the thread, it's sorta funny and I just now remember it when I saw think's post. Yeah if someone would cover tournaments they way they do NFL football game highlights that would be cool: "and here's omegaturd3 going in for the kill and ohhhhhhhhh look at that non-animated focus punch hit. snap!" Then gg. Short version highlights = cool.
