    Wow, was just reading through some of the Its. Card guard is insane - basically a 1900 attack lvl 4 that can keep another card (or cards) from being destroyed too. The power creep from these last few boxes has been a little much 

    I just can't wait to face asians running 3 floodgate trap holes

    252+ SpA Life Orb Omastar Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Lombre: 65-77 (38.9 - 46.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

     

    @LifeStyle, you come bad you go bad.

     

    Omastar is getting tested right now, but there is a very strong chance that it will get banned next month. There is no need to panic.

    are you serious what you are talking

    that was my first thought when I saw his calcs. My guess is gore doesn't need that much speed to outspeed all relevant threats at +2

    yeah it defo shouldn't be worried about anything scarf'd, especially in NU ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    The x4 to grass is a point worth mentioning. Gorebyss can take a giga with plenty of orb recoils to spare whereas Oma will get ohko'd. A healthy calm Roselia(I think the most type set?) will revenge an Oma sweep or could come in while it rains whereas Gorebyss could beat it. Of course, the more concerning part of Oma is probably because you don't know the set until it's possibly too late. You risk going to something like Hypno to stall rain and then end up having a wall Oma stack spikes against you.

     

    I do think it's worthwhile testing it though because in NU its piece of cake to spike anyway and the spinners are all ass. Can Roselia spike up just as easy as Oma? Sure it can, Roselia has many easy switches. And heck, Roselia even has 100 BP sp atk with 2 good stabs which can hurt if it felt like going modest 252 sp atk, just like Oma.

     

    We just had 2 normal resists come down, along with Solrock which is still fairly popular. Granbul has just been banned. That should really put normal spam on a steep decline in NU. I'm looking through the NU list and not really seeing too many switches for Oma really, like, its best switch would be something like Fearow which sounds dog shit right now unless the tier turns into full offense in which case it would prove to be useful.

     

    All in all, I still think Roselia is the more useful spiker. Omastar is a monster offensive threat though, if anything that's going to decide if its ban worthy or not.

     

    (btw, not really a quote to you, just adding on to what you say)

    Thought NU could Handel it when it initially dropped I believe at the time both hitmontop and poliwrath were NU and tangela was much more prevent in the meta and so could be more reliably checked and eventually revenge killed (forget the other mon I used to check it at the time) 

    omastar if you look has about the same stats as gorebyss. It has more health by 15 and 15 more defense 1 more special attack as 3 more speed 5 less sp def. in addition Gor has less weaknesses like ground and fighting and no x4 weakness in grass while still having electric Gor is stilling at a whopping 1.06% usage so imo at least it deserves a test

    Pls Omastar offensively is way superior to Gore, it has more weaknesses but iirc ground/fight types arent really seen much in NU and it has better setup opportunity vs normal spam. Theres also the fact Omastar can perform more roles like being a bulky spiker in a tier where we lack decent spinners and all of them just get shredded by a stab surf except maybe sp def hitmonchan or something, which is not really worth running outside of spinning vs omastar.

    And Poliwrath really cant switch vs stab returns that well, it sure wouldnt be my 1st option to try stopping bull.

    Do not use rhydon as an example it was tested it was broken to such a degree at its hard to imagine and put into words the calcs are mind boggling literally nothing can switch in

    @BurntZebra or @DoubleJ can confirm this still think we were right to ban Zard first tho zebra

     

    as for feraligatr it is a bigger bulkier crawdaunt with better speed tier, sets and doesn't not carry the drawback of dark typing to be revenge killed by Mach punch 

    I agree that Rhydon is too OP for UU, not 100% convinced on Fera but yes I believe it could be broken too. Just saying I feel a bad precedent is set when you just point a finger at Fera and say "OMG MEGA BROKEN NOT EVEN WORTH TESTING" but then turning your heads the other way at stuff like Granbull or Omastar dropping tiers.
