    UU Viability Thread

    in Competition Archive

    Posted

    It really bothers me that vileplume sits at A with an usage stat of 49.34% and that A+ threats like Swellow and Manectric do not even get 9% of usage.

    Even C rank Misdreavus gets more love than these 2!!!!

     

    I know the viability thread does not rank the pokemons based on the usage stats since that would make this thread brainless. Yet, i think it is also a mistake to ignore those stats entirely. Even though Vileplume is not an offensive threat like the pokemons listed in A+ and S, he is the common denominator of most teams.

     

    I am not saying that Swellow and Manectric should be moved down, but that some stuff should be moved up.

    theory / reality

    [Assistance] Annoyer Gengar

    in Trash

    Posted

    i love use gengar like that:

     

    Timid = 143 speed(because i love outspeed metagross)

     

    252HP 252DEF 6SPATT @leftovers

     

    Sub (the adversary will think about a FP)

    Painsplit / Disable / WoW

    WoW / Disable

    Sludge Bomb (cause i love hax)

     

    Painsplit is here to make spdef walls weak / WoW for lax sure / Sub for an effective Painsplit or a free WoW if there is switch / disable for 1move attacker like Vap / bliss / Lax and after you do all what you want. And sludge bomb just cause it's powerfull and it hax a lot.

     

     

    WARNING: this set is really annoying

    Preliminary NU Tier

    in Competition Archive

    jumpluff seem to be one of the most borring pokemon of the tier (Sub/ Leech / Spore(not sure if it learns)

    Smeargle classical can set up too easily imo ( Belly / spore / Xspeed / Explo or Crunch?) it foces to take an insomnia ability (ariados / hypno)

    And i think poliwrath has any reason to stay in NU lel, i don't to explain why...

    Preliminary NU Tier

    in Competition Archive

    Posted · Edited by Viking

    after saw the PTS NU tourney we agreed that pika is actualy in the top of the NU tier, in my opinion, i place Lapras in 2nd because of its bulk and its perish trap (boring) set.

     

    For the problem of sharpedo, it seems that it can be walled by tangela easily. inb4 a newborn of the mixed sharp (icebeam crunch surf or waterfall earthquake)

    Kabutops will become too a very used NU because of SD and a strong dualstab with a nice speed but tangela is allways the best counter to it.

     

    Zangoose is certainly a little more powerfull for the NU tier (i see only solrock for block him) because of return / crushclaw haxing and an acces to Fire punch and lowkick (Aggron)

     

    i did'nt saw jynx yesterday and agrron / metang seems to be pretty good for block it (without lovelykiss). Actually jynx has a good % usage in UU atm so it will be logic to put it in UU.

     

    For speak about sneasel, it will be better in the tier where is'nt hitmontop (machpunch) so if hitmontop is removed to UU sneasel has no reason to be used in UU then.

     

    For finish, we maybe have to see the potential of ampharos in NU (maybe too much bulk for the tier)

     

     

    edit: 

     

    Uh I haven't seen much of Scyther tbh but I think pokemon like Armaldo, Relicanth, Golem can survive a +2 BB and still ohko back with rock slide. 

     

    A sub / counter set seem to be the only way to run scyther atm, so relicanth is not a good counter imo, but golem / armaldo with rock blast fuck totally it.

    so there not really a problem with scyther at the moment

     

    sorry about my probably english faults.
