    Can we just agree that usage based tiering does not suit our unpopulated lower tiers?

     

    What do you fear? This is a high usage month and these moves look very stable and balanced (and nothing significantly different than what we've seen before).

  2. With the introduction of the Unova region and with it Hydreigon, the Tier Council and PokeMMO community agreed that Draco Meteor would be a problem. Draco Meteor, a 130 BP Dragon-Type move with 90% Accuracy and a devastating -2 SpAtt drop with each use, becomes a nuclear bomb when utilized by Hydreigon and its 125 SpAtt stat; mitigating the SpAtt drop as it does its job in one turn more often than not. A ban was implemented and Draco Meteor was removed from Hydreigon's learnset. 

     

    Fast forward to today and Hydreigon spamming Draco Meteor is still a problem, even despite the introduction of Assault Gear and a more offensive oriented meta. 

     

    After a thorough test, the TC has unanimously voted to once again ban Draco Meteor from competitive play.

     

    Of note, senior developers have opted to complex ban Draco Meteor and only remove it from singles. Hydreigon will still have access to Draco Meteor in Doubles.

    Yea, but how you want to use it over any other OU dragon? Even Mold Breaker doesn't justify using it anymore because Excadrill is a better abuser.

    Only 2x Weakness to Ice and resists Electric, Grass, Water, and Fire. Mold Breaker means EQ can hit Rotom and Hydreigon, and can break Sturdy. Access to Taunt, Swords Dance, and Dragon Dance. Close Combat to slay. 

     

    It's a beast and the meta isn't built to handle it. Other Dragons are good, but so is Haxorus. Can handle Zapdos and Suicune. Go try it out.
