I would generally agree, especially since OU is all inclusive anyway. I guess i would get a different response from the UU forum, which would be more interesting. But I want to stray away from Mamoswine and focus more on how people feel about this kind of influence from one person. For example, would OU players really care if something like Kommo-o was brought into OU because one person was able to influence others to use it repeatedly? Just food for thought.

OU Players wouldn't have a reason to care, but said person would be directly changing and even messing up the UU tier, which they'd have every right to be unhappy about.
Edit: Kommo-o is RU so it'd be taken away from 2 tiers, which is even worse
Edit 2: nvm he's uu now

Do I need Spa investment on Defnesive Lando if I want HP Fire?
Not really, ig you can run a nature that isn't -SpA (wouldn't recommend since you don't really wanna lower any other stat) / run a bit of investment to 2hko Mega Scizor with it, but its not really necessary tbh
0- SpA Landorus-Therian Hidden Power Fire vs. 248 HP / 16 SpD Scizor-Mega: 160-192 (46.6 - 55.9%) -- 76.2% chance to 2HKO
48- SpA Landorus-Therian Hidden Power Fire vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Scizor-Mega: 172-204 (50.1 - 59.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

I have 0 problem with it. If the mon is bad it should allow other people on the ladder to more consistently win, and if the mon if good then it provided a spotlight. It's a win-win. I don't think it's any different than a popular RMT (like the birdspam one with azelf) bringing the use up, it's the same thing but people don't get salty about that.

I see what you're saying but at the end of the day tiers are defined by usage. So it isn't all down to one person, because very many people are using it to success in the tier right now. This is as much due to the fact that Mamoswine counters Magearna, Landorus, Heatran and Toxapex (among many others), which are currently the best Pokémon in the tier, barring Kartana. Whether or not it is UU or OU doesn't matter here, because it doesn't indicate its effectiveness in the tier directly, only how many people use it.

Just a standard build, easy to understand and play with, pretty good against fat builds with M-Gallade + Z-Magma Tran pressuring everything, Ash-Gren for spike stacking, etc, enjoy, and guys feel free to point out the team's weaknesses
Here's one me and a few frens made. http://pokepast.es/67ca8433251b393b (you can try knock over ice punch but mew is much rarer than lando t rn so)
Anywhere but PU, since it's the only official tier it's not available in right now.

It could maybe work if alakazam wasn't one of those mons that really need their ability.
Sorry if this isn't OU related, but how do you find those small Pokemon Sprites? The kinds you see when selecting Pokemon in the teambuilder?
I usually manually type in BB code for individual battle sprites (img tags with either the Smogon or PS! sprite URL between them), but when I'm looking for party sprites or when I want to obtain a large number of sprites (e.g. when trying to get sprites for an entire team) I will use the following site:
http://fulllifegamer.bplaced.net/
Paste the importable (or just type the first two lines of it (pokemon name+the ability line)) and set the sprite line to the sprites you want to obtain ("sprites" gives you party sprites, but you can also get xy animated, bw animated and bw static battle sprites), click convert, and then copy the BB code that appears below. You can convert multiple at once this way, and it makes obtaining the BB code really simple.
legendary pokemons,which have incredibly high stats, are banned for fair competition e.g,stats higher or equal to 680.
Should you want to play with all pokemons available,try out the Anything Goes :)
