Crobat is weak to icebeam. You're essentially sacrificing yourself 1-1 for it, which is probably in froslass's favor since froslass often doesn't support much of a role in terms of synergy, while crobat can be the crux of many teams with its supportive role. Weavile is probably the best (and...

It's because it's sort of uncompetitive, and hard to stop. In the same way you could "play around" deoxys speed in OU, you can for froslass too...

Ahhh I see a lot of my predictions from awhile back have gone in. Mienshao and froslass S ranked. But gligar at C? I remember back when it was B and I argued it should be A. The whole reason it's good is because of u turn guys. Heracross won't get +6 because gligar will switch in, set up...

There are a lot of counterpoints to be made here. First, you cite the huge number of alts being able to reach the top ladder, and as such verifies that the metagame is not luck based and clearly more enjoyable than before, when very few alts were past the cut off in the previous suspect test...

Glad to see arcanine move up. Thing has a shit ton of utility; just a shame that it's semi-forced into running crunch for chandy. I'd argue arcanine for A if it weren't for chandy :( Also, pls let's not do the B+/B/B-!! It's so cluttered and not beautiful. :D

Still shocked that we needed a suspect test to make sure sleep clause is necessary for the metagame. Welp, carry on.

Honestly this whole A+/A/A-/B+/B/B- is weird and ugly. Why not just make more letters so that it goes to F tier or something. Like they do in brawl (lol).

Creating a bad metagame doesn't make a player lose more often. If we suddenly dropped mewtwo into OU it wouldn't make a good player suddenly lose every match, cause every player has access to mewtwo and a good player presumably can attack the metagame in a smarter way. That being said, mewtwo...

cloyster, max hp/def. shell armor for no BS crits spikes, tspikes, rapid spin, ice shard with landorus-t, max hp/def. intimidate. sr, eq, uturn, filler both with lefties good defensive core, have good type synergy together. cloyster stops dragons and together they have all 3 hazards +...

whose idea was this? were the ubers tier leaders bored or something? if you're gonna test something that's obviously broken for the lulz, do it on PO or something. just because ubers doesn't need much fixing, doesn't mean you need to find ways to fix it. alright sorry, /endrant

Anyone feel like ferrothorn should be moved down to B? Feel like it's set up bait for a lot of things now (ho oh, sub-arceus, zekrom, etc), and even things it "counters" are sort of iffy, like palkia and ogre, since specs or scald can take care of it.

Anti-metagame: Stuff that counters and beats common stuff, and said stuffs are typically underrated stuff. Introduction: So I wanted to make a hail team. I wanted it to be able to take on the top players. It took some time. This team can take on top players, and has peaked in the upper...

I don't support Victini for S. It's stat distribution, while good (TBST=600), doesn't give it any niche. Base 100 isn't the best for wallbreaking, as it's borderline between being fast enough and being slow enough. It might give you a problem, but it'll eventually get forced out because of...

There have been numerous posts about moving Jellicent to A with literally 0 opposition. This goes back many, many pages. Whoever is in charge of this thread either move it or post why there's hesitation, cause there's either massive oversight or the opinion of one person stopping a great mon...

Stall teams are pretty awful in this meta because there are too many threats. Every dedicated stall team will have a hole which will prevent it from "gaming" the meta. I have a lot of checks to say, ray or mewtwo, and ditto is one of them. Kyogre/chansey check them as well. Gira-o's shadow...
