I'd also add that he has two Stealth Rockers and two Defog users, which seems counterintuitive. Either you aggressively want to clear the field with Defog to protect Weavile and Multiscale Dragonite, or you want to pressure with your own SR. You won't want to be setting up rocks then constantly clearing them yourself.

This is beautiful.

Celebi?

The UU CC showed a lot of messy teams without synergy. The UU official from yesterday was better and highlighted the strength of Lucario, but also showed us stall still has a place in the meta. Definitely need more time but the TC's eyes are on Lucario for now.

Great point. 8% gives a wild amount of flexibility and could certainly be reconsidered. Yes, it would move up with the next usage movement. We're not waiting for the next season.

Stability Policy This policy is designed to allow the Tier Council to maintain stability in tiers by blocking upward usage-based movements within reason. If a Pokémon is determined to be key to the success of a tier but is above the upward movement usage cut-off, the Tier Council may vote to block this movement and keep the Pokémon in that tier. The following policy has been developed and approved by unanimous vote to guide this process: To qualify, a Pokémon must be above the upward movement usage cut-off but have less than 8% usage in the higher tier If a Pokémon that is held in a tier rises above 8% usage when usage-based movements occur, it will then move up and no longer be allowed in the lower tier (unless usage once again falls below the usual downward movement cut-off) No more than two (2) Pokémon are allowed to be held in a single tier at any given time during a season (e.g. If Bronzong and Crobat are held in a tier and one is moved up based on 8% or more usage, the Tier Council cannot then hold a different (third) Pokémon in the tier during that same season) At the end of a season, any held Pokémon will be released and allowed to move up by usage, unless they are voted on and held again To be held, there must be a unanimous vote (100% approval) by the Tier Council in favor of this action If a Pokémon is held, a discussion thread will be opened to discuss whether this action was appropriate or should be reversed Reversing a held Pokémon action will require a majority vote by the Tier Council and will occur during a regular usage-based movement cycle Please review and provide any comments or feedback. Thank you.

@Munya There has been several actions taken since the announcement made in this thread. Please close this thread when able to make room for greater conversation elsewhere.

Epic. OG's gonna run NU the whole tournament.

I don't know how tasty it's going to be but you know I love writing policy and there's a draft in the works. We're just slow and on different time zones. Announcement soon(ish).
