    Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon In-Game Tier list (v2)

    Did my run with Manectric, Electivire and a bunch of others. I will hide those in their own section below: my run consisted of Gengar, Blastoise, Steelix, Golisopod, Manectric, and Electivire. Those are either reevaluations of ancient tests or I discovered new strategies for the Pokemon that...

    Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon In-Game Tier list (v2)

    okay so finished the run with my aforementioned team and here are the results (with logs!). Some of the endgame matchups are missing, this means that I either didn't test it thoroughly or found nothing interesting. Charmander Charmander Hala(17): Charmeleon either takes out 2/3 of Hala's team...

    Because Flabebe is terrible in major battles. You are stuck with a Floette until basically Poni Island (you get Shiny Stone either after beating Nanu or after fighting Lusamine, depending on your game version). Floette's only remotely good matchup is Nanu and even that one isn't a sweep if I...

    Sure! Oricorio While you are correct in that Oricorio doesn't have much of a coverage, it arguably doesn't need it. Flying is a great typing in USUM with the early Flyinium Z and this allows Oricorio to perform well against a huge amount of major battles. In particular, those are Hala...

    Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon In-Game Tier list (v2)

    (Late response) Krokorok and Mankey could admittedly receive some reevaluation, since those were placed a long time ago and have never really received much attention. I don't think they'd raise to B and A, respectively, but C and B could work if better strategies in regards to their usage are...

    Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon In-Game Tier list (v2)

    Regarding Lurantis, Torracat should easily win with Z-Fire Fang alone, if you somehowly feel like it will miss the KO, you can set up a Work Up to guarantee it (we do not penalize usage of Z-Moves in major battles) For Togedemaru, I feel like most people should have an Incineroar at that point...

    Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen In-Game Tier List (GP 2/2)

    Code Live preview As always, CSS code is copy/pasted, almost everything was generated with a script, blah blah blah, you know the drill it's been a while since I last coded anything for Smogon, but validation seems to pass. Once this is about to be deployed, I will also edit the RBY article...

    Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen In-Game Tier List (GP 2/2)

    you are a legend, thank you for your hard work as always the situation is that it's available in both games with Super Rod, but in LG, SR ones are at a 4% encounter rate. I tried rewording it to make this clearer :Smogjynx: most of the other comments have also been addressed, but figured...

    Alakazam doesn't exactly have "bad matchups", unless you count losing against very specific Pokemon "bad matchups". Anyways, from a run I did a long time ago, Alakazam truly loses only to Karen's Umbreon and Houndoom (maybe Archer's Houndoom too, though never confirmed it, since Team Rocket...

    I haven't tracked my grinding time, but the Swift TM with Pink Bow allows it to deal decent damage. I did use skipped trainers, though, but that was moreso cause I had them and didn't want them to go to waste. If you don't use skipped trainers, you either set up more Curses (which is even more...

    GSC In-Game Tier List Mark V

    decided to do a run with some of the few Pokemon I have not yet tested, those being Umbreon, Remoraid, and Slowking, mostly to provide data for write-ups. As always, missing matchup = bad / didn't try. Umbreon Umbreon Morty(25): Mud-slap 3HKOes Gastly, which means you are almost surely...

    In-game tier list policy discussion thread

    I have not played SV at all, but that wouldn't fly in most tier lists (and I assume this one wouldn't be an exception). The lists generally rank highly Pokemon that are efficient, or, in other words, ones that beat the game relatively quickly**, with little effort, and little resources. Stalling...

    so I managed to do a run with the Odd Egg Pokemon (I did that days ago, but forgot / was too lazy to do it) Obviously, none of them should be higher than E-tier, but I will provide some summaries anyways. My only suggestion is perhaps remove Smoochum from the list and give it a quick mention in...

    I did test Rhydon (both variants) and I would say E-tier for both sounds fair. Trade one requires a Dratini (which more-or-less invalidates the few good things Rhydon has), the latter comes so late that no one would bother using it. And I said "the few good things Rhydon has" because its...

    Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen In-Game Tier List (GP 2/2)

    Thank you for your hard work, this is greatly appreciated. Regarding the periods, while I personally don't have a problem with this change, I would rather keep them purely because if I go through the entire list changing them, there's a good chance that I will miss a few (I could theoritically...

    I believe you don't need to refresh to unwatch the thread. Iirc, the "watch" button won't get updated after posting, but it will display the correct modal should you click it. e: here's an image to show that it happens: not necessarily better than ticking off the option before posting, but...

    I did, though In fact, I think the only Pokemon I have not tested are Unown, Delibird, Umbreon, Remoraid, and most of the Odd Egg Pokemon iirc. All of those are obvious E-tiers, if I have to say.

    GSC In-Game Tier List Mark V

    I don't think Return gives you any notable advantages in the late-game or endgame as a whole. Headbutt never came close to OHKOing anything at that point and I think Return (which would probs be 10-15 points above Headbutt at that point based on intuition) wouldn't deal that much more damage to...
