Adding more tiers would not solve anything for any existing tier, sadly 😞 Realistically if you add RU between UU and NU, all you'll achieve is to rename the tier NU into RU and create a new tier named NU that would contain Untiered mons.

Actually I'm expecting a chain reaction with tier shifts. We will probably not need to wait much longer 🙂 If Bronzong goes OU, Salamence (and possibly PoryZ) probably have to go. The reasoning being that's the only viable "safe" check to these mons bar Blissey (for special variants ofc, and one mon only is not enough to justify staying). That implies Entei and Shaymin also probably would have to go as a result.

That's where you're wrong imo. If Salamence is banned, then Entei is for sure a must ban. If Salamence stays, Entei will still have a popular check in common offense/balanced cores without relying on answers such as Quags & Poliwrath that are a better fit for stall/semi-stall. In that case, every playstyle having a way to directly handle Sacred Fire spamming, is the main reason why some people say that Entei is not banworthy.

I would only consider Entei concerning if Salamence got banned. Currently it's way too easy to slot a check for this Pokemon in most teams, and it's most "broken" attribute is honestly access to Xspeed, which is not banworthy but makes a lot of offensive setups way less viable. Sun argument is exhausting because honestly sun is just a matchup fishy low tier archetype. Hippowdon is the best climate setter in the tier, and Rain is generally more flexible and has a lot of mons that can qualify as abusers.

I suggest you build teams that are not matchup fishy and you won't have this issue 🙂 If the tier is the problem, the solution is to not play. You're welcome 😉

Base power changes if the opponent switches, so I feel like it could be misleading for the average user. Soon we'll have threads on forums : "Bug - Why did my 120 power move did so little ?"

Nope we never implement any base stat changes or any learnset changes that is not directly in the official games. What we do is sometimes remove moves or abilities that are too powerful on specific mons (that's called complex bans). Hope that helps

We don't really do custom changes in here, we're not trying to make fakemons. If you did changes like that, then 90% of available mons could use a buff to be viable in higher tier competitive play 🙂

A lot of them are insanely beautiful (Clefable 😮) but I feel at least half are just recolored sidegrade that didn't need to be touched, some are actually worse too (hi, Golem ...) 😛 I think your spectrum of mons which need to be redesigned was a bit too wide.

It's not an event thing and it's likely not gonna get removed. When future raids spawn they'll be somewhere on these holes I'd guess

What the hell ? Who did the quality check on the code release ???

By the way, for these issues you have to talk to the tournament organiser / staff. Public forums is not a place to randomly rant about something personal that doesn't involve the community. The post doesn't belong here, next 😉

If you keep the Blissey/Druddi/Coffa core. You need another wall, preferably a Bisharp answer. You also need a ground type. I would recommand getting Hippowdon alongside Rotom-Mow as your special attacker, and you could easily keep Ambipom there or another physical attacker. You could also be using Gligar as your ground, which is also an additional fighting resist, in that case you could maybe keep Bisharp and consider a fast special threat such as Raikou Getting a fighting type could also be highly beneficial in that team, say a Poliwrath, in that case Bisharp and Flygon (special) could be a good way to finish the team.

Weirdly this suggestion always comes from people who don't play the tier / don't care. (Except SweeT who is known for being pro-chaos anyway 😛) But I mean sure, do it if you feel. I don't think Staraptor, Haxorus, Lucario have any chance to be balanced in UU currently. Dugtrio is no longer in BL because it doesn't get Arena Trap. Porygon2 wouldn't improve the tier in anyway. It has a similar role as existing mons in UU (Blissey, Clef, Umbreon) and would only contribute to limit the viable playstyles. Sounds very promising ! 🔥

Doubles PVP has its own tiering system that doesn't appear in the pokedex. It's unrelated there, and Clefable is not really played in Doubles OU. When it comes to Single PVP, Clefable is a really good pokemon that can be used in all tiers. It doesn't currently appear in OU because other normal types do a similar job better, such as Chansey or Porygon2. Losing fairy type is obviously a big deal for Clefable. Currently it stands in UU thanks to its access to Unnaware, but with the arrival of Blissey it could eventually end up outclassed and drop in NU (we don't have RU in Pokemmo). Magic Guard can also effectively be used on calm mind and offensive sets, as well as support trick. But it's just not really played nowadays, doesn't mean it's bad tho ! Hope that helps 😉

Let's go [Lo] !

Hey there, Get rid of Arcanine. Mons has no survivability outside of Morning Sun but if you play Tyranitar it's very anti synergetic. It's also recommanded to play defog in OU, especially in semi-stalls. Rapid Spin Starmie is quite reliable against balanced/semi-stall but you might struggle to remove hazard against those Sash Gengar HOs. You also probably need Recover/Spin + 2 moves on starmie rather than an all out offensive set with Calm Nature (Assume you meant Timid nature ?) I would put a cleric in that team, you got AV Tyranitar so Wish passing could be extremely useful. Especially considering you play Starmie Amoonguss without recovery, AV Tyranitar (no recovery) and two rocky helmet holders (waste recovery PP quickly) I would also remove that RH from Gastrodon, I don't think it'd be that good in the team. Hopefully some proper OU player can help you ❤️

Because we don't have enough people playing PVP and it would add a lot more work for the Tiering Council which is already kinda overwhelmed ahah The only official single tiers are OU, UU and NU. Devs won't add any more than that. There is Untiered (tier bellow NU) and LC that are played by the community, but those are not official tiers (no ladder, no official tournaments ...)

That's being a bad player, when it comes to Pokemmo. Finding your wait out in a terrible matchup situation against a mediocre player (90% of what you find on the ladder) is what makes a consistent winrate. You'll see a few balanced vs stall matchups in tournaments where balance couldn't break but won thanks to a good knowledge of the tiebreaker rule (HP%) and clock management. Also a fair amount of choke but it is what it is 🙂

Story mode is not that important to the Pokemmo experience. It is but an introduction, and is meant to make sure you know a few basics before diving into the late game content. It will not be changed or made easier (it's already quite easy anyway, my friends who don't know anything about Pokémon could clear it easily)

Goat

The number 1 rank on the ladder was using ONLY dugtrio and succeeding with over 91% winrate. What lets you think that Dugtrio was not in the meta ? It was OU by usage too

I was just saying his calc show that EVEN a wallbreaker like Band Entei (yes it's Jolly here) is not powerful enough to break it. Of course if you get an instant burn or play Adamant, Blissey has to go, but it can at least PP waste Entei a bit in exchange for some of its HP That's not what I called being weak / pressured by physical attackers But anyway, there's not many Pokémon neutral to fire that can tank/beat Adamant Entei anyway. Especially specially defensive oriented ones 🙂

Cool stuff 🙂
