For each post about the status of development I offer 3 cute kitty pictures.

I'm not confident giving an ETA, but it will take a while. The version showcased during the event was in its early stages, there's still a lot left to do.

For my part as a designer, I have a better idea of how players approach them and how the mechanics can be improved based on the preview. My focus has been on revising / finishing upcoming boss builds and adjusting format balancing until it feels right. This aspect is going well, but implementation will take longer due to the quantity and complexity of the mechanics requested.

shiny rate is very fair

23k eggs total and at least 20k tyrogues candied for my 7th egg shiny WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

First Shiny on the ModestMeganium alt acc, ends up being Very Rare safari shiny, was just trying to fill up the dex on my alt.

mail it to IGN Forfiter, you can't make better use of that money

@FlacuSkye
 

"Telling the community" more like "telling Caio" but ok I can understand
That's some really good news, hoping to see some results soon.

Good.
 
@tierlist council
 
do your job for once maybe?

We do our job every day fam. Sometimes telling the community you're being silly is the most important part kek. 
 
But on a more serious note, there's some convo brewing and one of the members who voted against Dug is no longer here and has been replaced. So I assume that's grounds enough to kick off another round of "Dugtrio bad!" for the nth time. 

I am tired of seeing this everywhere it's sickening 😞
 
0 Reliable eq resist, 0 reliable volt resistances... These teams sacrifice any competitive integrity and go full on matchup fish. How is this healthy? I thought shuffling tournaments was supposed to stop matchup fishing, then you allow this nonsense, it does make me question what the hell the vision is for PVP

We're bringing Shaymin back down, why not, but for sure we'll run into exactly the same issues as when he was banned a few months ago. Seed Flare's SpeDef drop will still remain problematic.
 
It's good that Yanmega stays in UU, he had no place in NU.
 
Regarding Dugtrio, something should need to happen, especially since recently Dugtrio's movepool has ridiculously increased by gaining an  inappropriate access to Endeavor, among other things
 
 

As it currently stands Shaymin will be retested in UU and Yanmega will be quickbanned to BL2 at the start of the next month.

Don't ask me to join your team again, thanks xo

I meant raising another official dugtrio discussion to finally get it out from our metagame. I can't stress enough how horrible was TC's decision to allow dugtrio to stay

I honestly don't think we should wait so long to revise Dug. It's an ongoing problem and I believe we should take action as soon as possible, seeing how the vote was split, how lengthy the discussion was and how dug's endeavor became so prominent.

Gallade
Now that new answers to Gallade are confirmed to be released in the upcoming updates I believe that the best thing to do is keep as it is until the new answers to Gallade are released just like Rache said.
 
Dugtrio and Arena Trap
When it comes to Dugtrio, I believe Dugtrio does not fit the Uber Support characteristic but is uncompetitive so Arena Trap+Dugtrio should be complex banned. I'd rather ban Arena Trap as a whole because even if Trapinch and Diglett are not very interesting mons if they get to be used with this ability they will still rely on the uncompetitive aspect of this ability which can't be consistently prevented like Pursuit or Magnet Pull. I know some will disagree with an Arena Trap ban so probably the best thing to do is the complex ban on Dugtrio because I don't think anyone would care much about Trapinch or Diglett having it. Not going to give many arguments now on why I think this way because there isn't a discussion going on for it right now. If the ban happened I totally disagree with doing any other thing that is not the Arena Trap+Dugtrio complex ban because removing moves or reducing stats seems like a more obtrusive way to me. It should also be removed from BL if AT+Dugtrio complex ban happens.
 
Opening a discussion for it right now seems like the best option imo. I believe there is nothing in the Tier Policies against it. It would be a good idea to add a Tier Policy that sets a period of time in which a ban can't be voted again to happen after being rejected unless important changes happen within the tier (this case) to prevent situations like this.
 
Shaymin
It should be retested in UU, Mandibuzz always countered it. Stalling Seed Flare was also always a good way of dealing with it. And of course Entei, Salamence, Raikou, Ninetales are now in the tier and can annoy Shaymin.
 
Yanmega
Like I said in the NU Discussion Thread I think the best thing is doing a suspect test for 1 month.
 
Rhyperior
I think this mon also deserves a suspect test, it was banned long ago and all I can see in this mon is a better Rhydon, slightly better stats and better ability.
 
Recovery moves PP nerf
While I understand that for consistency they have 8 PP, this affects the metagame in a bad way, this increases the viability of Regenerator mons and Wish mons which were already very viable when recovery moves had 16 PP but reduces the viability of other defensive mons, it also affects the viability of some setup sweepers like Reuniclus or Sigilyph. This change adds nothing positive. A similar case are the gems which still have their 50% boost instead of the 30% and this is a good thing because they become useless with a 30% boost. Returning the recovery moves to 16 PP is just a single change and would affect positively every tier, I believe this is a very good reason to do it.
 
Acupressure
This move should be included in the evasion Clause along with Minimize and Double Team.
