Survey time wooo Metagame Enjoyment/Balance/etc: 6 (maybe like 6.5ish?) I don't think the tier is in a terrible state let alone unplayable, far from it. It's leaps and bounds better than many past iterations of the tier. That being said, I think there is an oversaturation of high grade threats...

This is one of the subtly best ones actually. It’s not “just longer legs”, the demeanor it shows in game and its Pokédex entry lean into its overall lore and inspiration really nicely. The obvious Earthbound Starman reference, the fact it’s doubling down on Sentai themes, and more… it’s great.

You don't want to rely on BP for its sole damage source. Both the option for grass STAB and use of Knock Off are helped by the boosted attack. Knock Off especially because it lures in so many ghost and psychics to be hit

The middle Falinks struggling to hold up the others... there's so much charm and personality in this design. Straight up might be one of the best ones visually. Also watch out Excadrill you're gonna poke someone's eyes out with those things

The tier is "if dexit never happened". To criticize it for following this logic simply and banning broken threats as they happen... is a take for sure. (but let's not drag the thread down with this anyways because it's not related so I'm stopping here) Depends on the ability. Strong Jaw would...

The main thing is that it no longer has to predict switches when attacking, just spam stabs as wanting to. ??? The tier exists for those who want to play a format without Dexit screwing stuff around. Why is that "flawed"?

It’s always been real. I really don’t understand this bizarre hate boner attitude some of you have over such trivial things that are minor mechanics that don’t impact games on average, or at all. I was gonna say Mega-ZygardeC wasn’t gonna be super busted…. But…

Being realistic, if Mega Chandelure gets STag it'll get the axe too. Or Ubers will just kick out the ability like in gen8 Ubers.

'Cept... you can't bluff. Base Chandelure is bad no matter what, you're using Mega or bust here. And unless it gets a cracked ability that boosts its speed or supercharges its already high power it isn't getting banned as it has natural checks offensively and defensively, and its rock weakness...

This is overstating a lot of things really. If a Mega brings strong qualities to a team, it gets used. Simple as that. Being a mega doesn't inherently mean it competes with everything, because different Megas take on different roles and won't fit on the same team. What Mega immediately does what...

A pivoting tool is nice, but MSableye suffers more from its typing being underwhelming defensively with only one resist and two relevant immunities. It's still really passive with minimal damage output. It might see use outside stall on some really specific fat balances but that is it. Mega...

You don’t need brave bird on Moltres. Roar phases it out (unless it’s past pokemon but at that point you should be prepared for that situation), and using aggressive play to get up rocks goes a long way too. Sub Z just loses to Pex in most circumstances but also any team with good prep can...

Not really no. Having a knock off absorber is great so the move can’t just be spammed without risk so easily. But that’s less relevant. Gholdengo in practice can’t block Defog nearly as freely as you make it out to be, considering it outright loses to Landorus-T, Gliscor and Moltres (albeit...

Least Donphan isn’t totally terrible in UU and has some applications. Dozo just is mid af and should’ve dropped ages ago but somehow it’s held on by a thread Don’t even understand why either. Not exactly a popular Mon like Garchomp in terms of fans, and it isn’t exactly flashy since it’s a...

Lu is their biggest progress road block but far from the only one and is far from their only issue. What you talk about with Moth are very on paper potential ideas but as of now, simply have not been demonstrated to have effectiveness at high level play (or been used). As far as I can tell from...
