Testbanned yeah.

I will announce the Tier list changes of June in this thread. These changes are made according to the Usage gathered during the month of May after respective tier changes were made The tables can be seen here: (The cut-off point is 4.36%). A list of this months Tier Changes: Moving up from OU to Ubers, Testban Chansey: After months of discussion about Chansey's role in the OU Metagame, the Tier Council has come to the decision to test-ban it from the tier for two months. Chansey consistently tops the usage charts, but this alone doesn't wrap up the case. It appears on approximately 50% of teams, but how is it affecting the overall teambuilding process in OU? Let's take a look at the next nine Pokemon on the usage charts below Chansey. Metagross Flygon Venusaur Forretress Starmie Skarmory Gyarados Weezing Heracross Milotic All of these Pokemon can be, and often are, tailored to take advantage of Chansey's presence. Metagross, Flygon, Gyarados, and Heracross can muscle past it on the physical side. Venusaur, Forretress, and Skarmory can often set up on it. Weezing and Milotic synergize well with Chansey as some of its most common partners, forming a very solid physical/special defensive core. Chansey's usage is around 40% higher overall than the next special wall, Umbreon, which finds itself on approximately 12% of OU teams. This means that players are unlikely to encounter a different choice of special wall on more than 1/8 teams. So what makes Chansey so splashable? It has the special bulk to completely shrug off special attackers, high enough base HP to soak up most non-super effective physical attacks, and healing options to not only keep itself healthy, but support its team as well. It often runs Protect for scouting choice locked moves, and has a fantastic ability in Natural Cure that allows it to absorb status ailments for its teammates without suffering after it switches out again. The combination of these notable traits and many more makes it difficult for players not to choose Chansey when they start building a team. However, despite these arguments from the pro-ban side, there's no denying that Chansey CAN be dealt with. Multiple Pokemon were mentioned earlier in this post that can handle it and there are certainly more that see less usage. In the end though, the Tier Council has decided that a test ban was for the best in the long run, as a chance to end the speculation and view the metagame without Chansey first hand will answer once and for all the question of whether Chansey's influence is healthy or not in the OU tier. As usual in suspect tests, we need your opinions. Experiment with new special walls/cores, and see if there are enough tools to handle some of the heavy hitting special attackers in tie tier. Tell us if you notice any significant changes in the metagame, whether its less emphasis on physical attackers, a change in game pace, or any other noticeable effects. If any special attackers turn out to be too overwhelming during this period, they may also be added to the ban list and the duration of the test extended. Moving up from NU to BL2 Aggron: The Tier Council has voted unanimously to ban Aggron to BL2 under uber offensive characteristics. Aggron possess a huge threat to the NU tier with very few switch ins to it. Of those switch ins none of them have access to instant recovery. Hitmontop in particular is a good switch into Aggron, but it cannot withstand repeated iron tails. Aggron is potentially 1 flinch away from sweeping the tier with rock slide spam. Aggron hits a decent speed tier at 112 and can run choice band or choice scarf. Aggron can be bulky and punch holes threw the opposing teams core. Poliwrath was a reliable counter, resisting both stab moves and threatening with its own stab moves. Both of Aggron's abilities are good in competitive play, but Sturdy gets a special mention as it allows a full health Aggron to live a hit and revenge kill the threat. Moving down from UU to NU Granbull: 2.49 % Usage in UU Thanks to the Tier Council for their hard work and dedication to making the tiers better. Also to everyone who has been participating in Official Tournaments and Matchmaking!

All just a warmup for manager of the season 2 seasons in a row.

Erics winning this poll, man that guys too good.

I thought you said you weren't going to quote me anymore, you liar.

I mean, it was the first one to not start, and i had already decided before it was even close to entering signup phase that there would be no more leaderboard tournaments after the NU one(check its thread it says at the top), so, that number is 0, it took exactly 0 leaderboard tournaments before I realized they were not worth the effort to have.

Unfortunate, I guess Coolio remains the UU champion now until forever. someday it will return, and coolio dethroned.

wheres the anime at? are they about to play baseball?

Its okay, its Zehkars birthday, I gave him permission. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZEHKAR

He looked absolutely pissed, can't wait to find out what he asked for.

I don't think i even finished season 1, it was awful

As the resident bug moderator I'll answer that question. Its a bug. All bugs can die

Sorry it appears arena trap doesn't work on ghost types.

yeah actually doing that, just needed a porygon to start with, unless you mean buying a cheap porygon from gtl to start with which would have been considerably smarter.

I bought a porygon, figured what the hell if fred can do it so can I.

It sort of worked the first few months at least, it just took excessive advertising that almost killed me, did not have the energy to do it again for the second set so went into them knowing it was either going to work on its own or not work under the current system. I'd say some things were learned and hopefully the system can be tweaked in the future as we do recognize there are flaws with it, how to fix it I am not aware of yet and not sure if the Devs have anything in mind currently.

The above user was banned for their awful post, don't worry guys.

Your received you answer, won't be happening.

Its stuff that happened in the manga vs black.

Run away @DoubleJ, it'll break your heart

Just because an update is coming that will drastically change the look of the tiers does not mean we will entertain the idea of making changes just to see what if, tiering policies will be upheld until and after the update happens. If in the time between now and the update Chansey ends up banned that is fine but we will not be doing it without it going through the process that is supposed to happen.

Feel like this episode can be summed up with

Hasn't vegeta been the strongest for a while now, wouldn't this if anything be the rest catching up. Not to defend anybody I am rather fond of all the characters in the universe survival thing except maybe Tien so don't really care much about whos stronger than who. While Goku was learning to seal somebody in a jar being useless vegeta was in the time chamber training, and was even able to do that fancy thing goku cant do in the manga, and now he has another child to defend, I'd say its a no contest.

Inviting everybody to join my new team LYLÉ, its like LYLE but better
