ND UBERS UU UPDATES AND NEWS DUMP!
Featuring brand new shiny VRs, a search for sample teams, and some discussions around potential bans!

Overhauled Viability Rankings​

Those of you familiar with our resources will know that the old Viability rankings were based on a Top-High-Mid-Low system, and given the new interest in the tier and more people wanting to develop the meta we felt a shift in approach would be necessary. Given the current data we have from UUbersPL and room tours, the council has entirely overhauled the viability rankings to match the S-A-B-C format used by many other tiers so that we will be able to give more accurate and in depth rankings for the tier. While normally with VR shifts a list of changes would be included, due to the overhaul we ask that you refer to the voting sheet to see how things have changed from the last iteration. We hope that these new VRs will help make the tier more accessible, and spur more conversation around the tier! If you believe these tiers need changes you are free to use these forums to discuss or join the conversation in the discord server.

Sample Teams Wanted!​

Our sample teams have been outdated for a while, and to help further the effort in making this tier more accessible the council has been spending some time working on sample teams! While we haven't entirely finished them, we also encourage you to join the discord server and help make suggestions so that we have more teams to vote on, as in the upcoming weeks we are hoping to be able to release a bunch. Any community input on this matter will always be appreciated, as we are not the only people who are interested in helping make this tier more engaging!

And now for the big one that I think a lot of you have been waiting for-

Hello all! As UUberspl is slowly coming to a close as a tiebreaker drags out the tour even longer, we have decided to share some of the things that have been part of discussions for upcoming action given the immediate meta changes that have happened post shifts. Not all of these (as of now) are set to be included in a vote to be banned, but have been part of discussion for a post UUberspl slate for our upcoming tours.

Arceus Flying

​

Arceus-Flying was quickly brought into the spotlight following the rise of Chien Pao, loosing the most significant offensive answer it had. Since then, it has risen as one of the most difficult to answer offensive threats. Its CM sets are able to shred through pretty much any team, and it is able to stop opposing Arceus trying to slow it down with its own Taunt. This is made even easier as its sheer strength has been most notable on webs HO, allowing it to consistently outspeed and shut down any potential defensive check with Taunt. In conjunction with its ability to Tera to avoid phasing from moves like Dragon Tail as well as escaping its Ice Weakness. It is not without answers however, Gholdengo, Arc sets that are able to fire off a Dragon Tail, fast status like Twave and Toxic, and strong physical breakers were all able to put a dent in Arc flying, as well as options like Taunt Mewtwo and Ting Lu. While it may not be the best rated arc form on our new VRs, it has proven itself easily as one of the more unhealthy aspects of the new meta.

Arceus Steel
​

Arceus-Steel was near unanimously voted the best Pokémon in the current meta, due to its sheer versatility across numerous playstyles. The classic CM + Taunt sets are incredibly strong on practically any teamstyle that you could think of, having an incredibly good STAB typing in a meta where Arceus-Steel is its own best resist, and Taunt is able to shut down opposing Arceus forms. Its defensive options are also excellent at disrupting the Offensive Pokémon used to beat down the CM sets, which often just run 252 HP EVs, while these sets then become more vulnerable to some opposing Arc forms in turn. While it may have a weakness to a relatively common type in Fighting and Ground, the innate power of Steel as a defensive type as well as being able to use Tera to circumvent these issues like it's Flying counterpart makes these checks less reliable then one would expect. Unlike Arceus-Flying, Arc-Steel struggles a bit more when it comes to handling the offense used to check it, as while it is versatile it is much overshadowed on the HO builds that Arceus-Flying thrives on. It also has a much worse STAB typing that isn't able to break through teams as easily as Arc-Flying. The current nature of most HO teams do put a lot of pressure on Arceus-Steel users to keep it healthy enough to check everything it needs to.

Sticky Webs
​

It is without a doubt that HO has been the most dominant playstyle in this tier since the January usage shifts, and one of the most dominant playstyles within this is Sticky Webs. While Landorus-Therian is incredibly strong right now, the access to removal in this tier has proven incredibly limited, especially when it comes to actually being able to pull it off against this playstyle due to common tools such as Taunt Arceus, Gholdengo, and additional threats like Spectrier running rampant. This playstyle puts a huge amount of pressure on the tier, given the prevalence of strong Arceus forms, Mega Pokémon, and other threats such as Roaring Moon or Galarian Darmanitan which almost require their respective boosting item to be remotely usable, with the latter never wanting to run boots in the first place. Additionally, webs makes opposing Arceus forms even more difficult to handle, as your scarfers no longer outspeed it and Arceus will outspeed almost everything, making its setup sets even more potent. As with everything else on the radar that has been mentioned, this playstyle is not impossible to handle. Anti Ribombee measures such as Weavile have started to appear, options that put the webs team on a timer such as T-Spikes are able to help mitigate these threats from setting up, and removing webs from play isn't impossible. Alternatively one can just use their own webs team, circumventing the issue of one team having a speed advantage for the whole game. It can be argued that the dominance of Arceus-Flying is the main cause of the unhealthy aspect of webs, but we still felt it is something that with or without Arceus-Flying could be considered for a ban.

Closing Remarks​

As of now, the plan is a vote on the threats we choose to add to the next slate coinciding with the final week of UUberspl, as to not impact this tournament but get whatever is deemed broken out of the meta as soon as possible going into our upcoming tours. Don't forget to check out the new VRs so you can get a taste for what's good going forwards, and please leave feedback, and join the discord so you can help with sample teams! Keep an eye out for more news from us regarding upcoming tournaments and bans. Thanks for reading!

Figured I'd at least give my thoughts on some mons.

​

I don't believe this is quite broken, but it's REALLY good. This has the coverage profile necessary to break the whole tier open and really likes Chien Pao being gone. Nasty Plot sets can just rip through slower teams like butter if given a chance to set up, but it also has sufficient coverage to ensure at least a 2HKO on almost anything with just +0 attacks.

​

Wanted to comment on this one in particular because while this is basically just riding Mewtwo's viability for the most part, it's actually good on its own merits as well, gives Mewtwo a scary amount of unpredictability. You can have basically no idea what an unrevealed Mewtwo is going to do, and furthermore, you can have no idea what an unrevealed MMX is going to do either.

In the most trivial case, It turns out that simply gaining a Fighting type is perfectly usable for Nasty Plot sets. It saves the trouble of having to spend tera to get STAB on a coverage move and makes Mewtwo just a bit bulkier, as exemplified by this replay here of me getting bodied by it when it OHKOes my Magearna with Focus Blast, though it also causes it to lose to other Mewtwo, funnily enough.

Steadfast is still basically useless, but hey, don't come crying to me when Genesect or Darmanitan-G get their respective flinches and steadfast lets Mewtwo outspeed after :D

While a bit lower viability-wise, the physical and mixed sets are usable too; physically invested MMX is able to OHKO Arceus-Steel with Low Kick, but any MMX will threaten an OHKO on Arceus-Steel with Spikes up.

0 Atk Mewtwo-Mega-X Low Kick (120 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Arceus-Steel: 390-458 (87.8 - 103.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO after 1 layer of Spikes​

252 Atk Mewtwo-Mega-X Low Kick (120 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Arceus-Steel: 446-528 (100.4 - 118.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO​

This tends to "encourage" Arceus-Steel to not be in vs an unrevealed Mewtwo, lest Mewtwo reveal it is actually Mega Mewtwo X and obliterate it on the spot.

Mixed MMX is also a particularly effective breaker, as its access to Ice Beam lets it easily foil Landorus-T, while Stone Edge variants can also win 1v1 versus Arceus-Flying.
But also, it is STILL a Mewtwo...

​

I ranked Reshiram a bit higher than everyone else on the council.

Roost Reshiram is indeed very neat, especially when it can directly Defog against Gholdengo in a metagame where Sticky Web is so splashable. Its strong matchups into Gholdengo, Magearna, and Arceus-Steel are very desirable traits to have on a support Pokemon, while its ability to defensively check Ogerpon-H is particularly hard to come by. Being a nice switch-in to Iron Bundle is a neat added bonus.

I want to expand some of my own personal thoughts on webs, why its worth including in future conversations and how I think a ban could be justified if it got that dire.

Sticky webs as mentioned in the post are a very dominant playstyle right now appearing in a large amount of UUberspl battles. In a format with a power level such as this many Pokémon simply are not able to effectively drop their boosting items to help mitigate this threat with heavy duty boots, and removal efforts can be limited by Pokémon like Gholdengo, Taunt Arceus, and other spinblockers like Spectrier. The prevalence of Item Restricted Pokémon such as Arceus forms and Mega Pokémon makes checking webs even more difficult, as webs going up often means a team's own Arceus and Mega such as Lucario becomes even more difficult to check.

It could be argued that the issue with webs is the abusers, Pokémon like Arceus Flying especially are super strong right now in particular because of their dominance on webs structures, but even if Arceus Flying does receive a ban other threats like Arceus Electric, Roaring Moon, Arceus Poison, Mega Lucario, and others have also all proven to be effective and potentially game ending on their own on webs. Banning all of these Pokémon due to their effectiveness specifically on this playstyle when they provide healthy aspects outside of it feels incredibly shortsighted to me.

Metas like SV Ubers have webs as a part of discussion for a ban, which I believe is because in formats with this power level it is too difficult to solve the webs problem by banning the most effective Pokémon on webs, as the list of offensive threats that webs can enable is much longer then the list of difficult to check offensive Pokémon normally- looking at UUberspl and seeing the sheer diversity of Pokémon run on these webs structures I think is something that lends itself very well to this argument. With previous precedent in this tier of limiting H/O enabling tools with the ban of light clay, I believe that if it comes to a point where too many Pokémon feel simultaneously strong on webs it should be part of discussions for ban. I believe the reason this isn't the case right now is because of the sheer oppressive nature of Arc Flying limiting the ability to talk about the other broken aspects of webs because everything pales in comparison to Arc Flying currently.

Do I believe webs are currently in a bannable state? No, but I also think metagames that revolve around HO are inherently more unhealthy, as it severely limits expression in teambuilding and play, because it polarizes the meta around the most dominant HO playstyle, and whichever Stall team is able to check it. I implore people to keep a potential webs ban in mind as a way to mitigate Hyper Offense as an overwhelming meta force if it does reach a point where banning any single Pokémon purely due to its power on Webs will not notably effect the issues with the playstyle. Banning mechanics like this is a precedent that has been set in the past by other metas, and it is something i would like to consider moving forwards here.

National Dex Ubers UU has Banned Arceus Flying
Tagging Marty and dhelmise to implement.

Arceus Steel	DNB	DNB	DNB	DNB	DNB	DNB	Do Not Ban

As UUberspl wraps up and new tours are on the horizon, we decided to take vote on what has almost universally been deemed the two main threats since the tier shifts at the start of the new year. Despite this announcement occurring before the final week of UUberspl, we have reached out to the hosts and confirmed that the finals can take place using a challenge code so that the ban can go into place for the first week of NDAM Homefield Advantage.

Code

/challenge nationaldexubersuu@@@+arceus-flying

While most of what was needed to be said was said in the on the radar post, for a refresher Arc Flying has quickly proven itself to be an incredibly unhealthy offensive threat, especially due to its raw power on Hyper Offense, specifically webs. It was practically unparalleled in it's ability to use its STAB typing on CM + Taunt sets to shut down defensive answers as well as opposing Arceus forms attempting to phase it or set up their own CMs. Its defensive typing is rather awful, but Tera lets it negate this entirely, with the most common Fairy Type allowing it even more safety against the threat of phasing. A few checks did exist, but the extreme pressure Arceus Flying exerted in game and in the builder lead us to decide to take action on it as soon as possible.

Arc Steel was also voted on due to its own CM sets allowing it to threaten both defensive and offensive teams alike, but to to the prevalence of HO that has been able to overwhelm it it was not broken enough in its current state to justify any action taken. It, as well as remaining HO staples will be monitored closely going forwards.

Sticky Web in ND Ubers UU

Sticky Web should be banned to improve the health of the tier without banning tier staples like Gholdengo, Spectrier, and Arceus that enable the playstyle to avoid unnecessary collateral.

Why is Sticky Web problematic?

Sticky Web is an issue in the tier because of the ease of which Sticky Web teams can deny removal, the lack of fast Flying-types and Levitate users, and the ability for Webs abusers to not only shut down offense, but balance teams as well.

Sticky Web teams have options to deny any form of removal thrown at them. Defog? Taunt Arceus and Gholdengo easily shut down the defog users. Rapid Spin? Gholdengo, Necrozma Dawn Wings, and Spectrier serve as natural spinblockers, while Tera Ghost can be ran on anything that isn't a Z user or Mega. Mortal Spin is blocked by Arceus-Steel, the most common Arceus form on webs. Court Change is attached to the unviable Cinderace and blocked by Taunt. Webs denial is inconsistent as well, with Tera Steel beating Triple Axel, Skill Swap beating Hatterene, and Scarf beating both Triple Axel and faster Taunt.

The lack of good, fast webs immunities makes webs very dangerous when they do go up, with the only scarfer immune to webs being Landorus-T, a scarfer that isn't self reliant thanks to it being slower than Garm requiring double scarf thats Ground-type STAB is highly exploitable thanks to Tera. This makes the plethora of fast offensive threats (Pheromosa, Deoxys, Mewtwo, Spectrier, Naganadel, Arceus) extremely dangerous once webs go up as they invalidate scarfers as counterplay, and Pokemon like CM Arceus and NP/CM Mewtwo cleave through even bulkier playstyles that should beat webs in other tiers effortlessly.

What is lost and gained from a Sticky Web ban?

Nothing of value is lost. Speed control becomes significantly easier for every playstyle except Stall which should free up the builder by making counterplay to the many extremely fast threats much more consistent.​

Hey, I wrote a tampermonkey script to fix the teambuilder so that stuff that's banned isn't shown.
We are waiting on official support to be added (https://github.com/smogon/pokemon-showdown-client/pull/2318), but until such time, this should do as a stopgap measure.

Thanks to Runo for the idea!

Hello ND uubers people! In the wake of the Arc Flying ban as the meta (seemingly) starts to be settling down I figured I would drop a lot of the teams i've been working on, some of which I might push for to be samples! But before we get into the teams I want to talk about a few of the big meta changes i've seen:

Sticky Webs

No surprises here, despite Arc Flying going webs are still viable and strong, with Pokémon like Spectrier, Gholdengo, and various Arc Formes still being very strong. The increased limitations, especially due to the removal of the main ground immunity on these teams is very notable as I will get to, but this is still a structure that must be respected by all builds.

The Return of Balance

While H/O is still very good, these meta shifts have felt very good for more balanced structures to make a comeback! While I have voiced my complaints with Alo+Ting-Lu in the past, I believe with the breaking power of this tier starting to shift to more specialized pokemon like Lo/Specs Mewtwo, Banded Phero, and setup arcs, these cores are able to survive much longer. So far I have felt like Pokémon like Mewtwo feel really necessary on these teams due to the speed and versatility in power, and Arc Steel is still splashable as always, but has more tradeoffs in such a ground weak metagame. Overall the meta has the ability to start slowing down, I also see potential for mons like Pex and stuff to start getting more viability as well, especially due to it having t-spikes.

Landorus Therian

This is very clearly to me the most defining aspect of the current meta, with Landorus being able to work on practically any team as an incredibly versatile pick, being able to set hazards, remove items, toxic opposing mons, pivot, break, clean, and most importantly being one of the most consistent answers to your opponent's Lando-T. I think that this pokemon has become incredibly centralizing, but I think its presence is also 90% of what's holding the tier together in a very healthy way, and I'm most excited to see upcoming development because of this!

THE TEAMS​

Ursaluna BM Balance -

Pretty untested, but a generally bulky team that aims for endgame Ursaluna and Mewtwo, with scarf lando for cleaning potential and giratina and Arc Fighting for phasing out sweepers

Regieleki Offense -

Regieleki, Arceus, and Lucario all have excellent offensive synergy together allowing them to muscle their way through a lot of bulk while maintaining powerful speed control

SD Lando T -

Takes advantage of opposing lando T being the best check for Lando T, setting up landorus as an excellent threat at most points of the game

CB Lando T -

Similar in idea to the above team but a bit more bulky, with Kingambit for an endgame option

Scarf Ghold -

This one just seems kind of funny idk lol

SD Gliscor -

Okay I actually love this team, it can be a bit hard to pilot but has really consistent options in most games I find, I think Arc fighting is super underrated defensively because it has only one notable weakness in this meta (psychic) which Ting-Lu makes up for, while notably being neutral to many common attacking types while other arc forms pick a weakness.

Scarf Lele -

Tapu Lele interested me very early on as a scarfer, and after some discussions with Frito this was the best idea we could come up with! Think it has some potential for sure, especially with how people seem to be focusing on Arc Steel less then i expected (this mon is still stupid)

Hope you all enjoy the teams and it helps give people some ideas for building! I know it is lacking in proper offense but I've really been enjoying building outside that as of late

Gravity is pretty cool in the current meta. There are very few actual ground resists (most teams rely on flying types that dont resist ground under gravity) and Tera Ground+boosting items / abilities lets EQ spammers break past even Alomomola. The setters are also pretty nice.

Abusers:
with Tyranitar in the back can freely throw off Tera Ground banded EQs while having Sand Rush to outspeed the entire meta, can greed adamant because its that fast.
Do you like using Darm, but feel it can be too prediction reliant at times? Click Gravity and then spam EQ, no prediction needed!
Levitate+Flying types no longer avoid your webs.
145 attack / SFLO and actually learns Gravity.

Setters:
Really nice wallbreaker and it makes its own Hydro Pump's 100% accurate.
SD+EQ+Gravity is already solid on its own and it has the speed and bulk to repeatedly set gravity, lacks pivoting. Its also an Arceus.
Landorus-T is the main one here because it has intim to get easy setup, lando i is a thing too.
Its a Magearna and it can eject pack or misty explosion or volt switch
Its Really Fat and has spin.
Solid breaker that can use gravity into Eject Draco Meteor
Hatterene provides Magic Bounce to shut down Sticky Web and has Healing Wish for pivot+heal

Going to give my thoughts on the post shifts meta now that I've won open.

Offense is absurdly strong in this meta, to a highly problematic extent, I don't believe balance is worth using in the current meta in the slightest, only offense and stalls teched to counterteam them. Rain, Webs, DeoS, and Psyspam HO are all extremely oppressive and it feels impossible to handle them all without stall or simply using a hyperer offense than your opponent, there's simply too many threats where the only answer is "out offense it". Dracovish, Galarian Darmanitan, and Taunt Arceus forms are some great examples of this, with Dracovish and Galarian Darmanitan having either next to no or literally no viable counters, so the only way to beat them consistently is just running extreme offense, which ends up being a problem when you run into webs and have to pray your opponents Ribombee isnt teched to beat your antilead. The state of Ground resists is highly dire too, with the only good resists being 4x weak to Ice and Arceus Grass which has massive opportunity cost and is still weak to ice, this does not help with balances case.

I think the tier should look into banning Sticky Web, Dracovish, and Galarian Darmanitan among other mons that are less blatantly broken but still unhealthy (like DeoS, Spectrier, and Gholdengo) because they're all really absurd into anything not Hyper Offense while unbanning Arceus-Flying to diversify the Ground resist market. Without bans, I don't see the meta ever ceasing to be an HO fest unless Giratina Origin is allowed to drop back down.
