Hi. I don't really frequent smogon but I feel like I've alted around enough with UU this gen to have a solid grasp of the meta. Also a certain vr host wanted me to get more involved with posting so yeah here we are. First I want to comment on some of the nominations people are making. Up to A+...

I barely ever do smogon stuff anymore but I wanted to weigh in on Feraligatr since I honestly think it could make the full jump to B+. It's made a huge name for itself on dual screens, which is taking the ladder by storm. It has almost perfect coverage and only really requires that bulky waters...

Sylveon up to B I really don't think Sylveon is a whole two subranks worse than Florges and rising it to B (which is a better option than dropping Florges imo) would reflect that. Sylveon doesn't have the same customizability as Florges, and I won't deny that room for something like Defog or...

Slowbro and Mega Slowbro down to A- I think both Slowbros are still among the scarier defensive threats available in the tier, though they feel less dominant than when they initially shot up in usage and I don't think they're on par with stuff like Kommo-o and Blissey. They both check really...

Hey so I don't really post much anymore but I wanted to weigh in on this discussion point. I think the points smallsmallrose illustrated are fair as to why Heracross can still be a strong pick but imo they don't really address the full argument in regards to its potential drop. I think that...

Empoleon A+ -> A: Disagree I think that Empoleon is the most splashable defensive Pokemon in the tier and is UU's best current defogger, which is why A+ perfectly represents where it's at in the metagame right now. Fighting-types of course hinder its place in the metagame to an extent, but all...

Bronzong B- -> B Bronzong is so good in this metagame. Standing up to the now omnipresent Mega Diancie more easily than nearly anything else in the tier is a really valuable trait it has going for it, but its unique movepool, typing, bulk, and ability also allow to provide teams with a check to...

I just wanted to stop by and disclose that I 100% disagree with even considering dropping Terrakion, and that honestly, the tier shifts favor its best set, Choice Band, probably more than they punish it. Mega Diancie can really only revenge kill it given that under no circumstance should it ever...

Is there possibly a way of contacting antar? That would help to not have to wait another month for drops

Infernape A -> A-: Disagree I know that this discussion point received some backlash in the thread already, though I really want to voice and stress my support for keeping Infernape where it is because there are several things that imo, justify keeping it from dropping into A. I'd just like to...

I disagree with dropping Darmanitan and I also think that a lot of the points brought up to drop it weren't really fair arguments. Comparing it to Arcanine outside of just acknowledging that they share a type isn't really fair at all since they have much different roles and aren't being used or...

Terrakion B+ -> A-: Agree This guy is really good right now. Its Choice Band set has seen a surge in usage and is almost always devastating for either stall or bulky offense, the two most popular builds in the metagame, to try dealing with. Its Swords Dance set also has a really strong matchup...

A- to A: Disagree I like Swampert but I don't think it's dominant or defining enough in the teambuilder to be worthy of an A ranking. It's on a pretty even playing field with Hippowdon right now since I think both are as necessary to cover in teambuilding, but most importantly due to Hippowdon's...

Mega Steelix down to B-: Agree I feel like B- perfectly reflects Mega Steelix's current viability in UU. It's definitely not a weak pick in the metagame, but the main thorn in its side is that Mega Aggron just has so much going for it right now. Mega Steelix lacks the crucial ability to take on...

I have a few nominations of my own that I'd kinda like to see go through, so here's what I'm thinking! Hope you guys enjoy :toast: Rotom-C up to B+ I really like Mowtom right now. Its newfound access to Defog and the loss of Rotom-W have continued to benefit it and I think that it still isn't...

I haven't posted much lately and there's some stuff that I'd kinda like to see happen, so here goes nothing ^-^ hope y'all enjoy Infernape should move up to A+ This one may be a little controversial but I absolutely believe that Infernape is worth being ranked alongside metagame staples like...

Okay sorry but do we seriously need to be making nominations like this immediately after tier shifts are announced? We have NO idea how any Pokemon are to fare in a metagame that we haven't played any of yet, and Mamoswine rising honesty isn't something that should happen merely because Rotom-W...

Can someone do something about the checks and role compendium? It's extremely outdated unless I'm mistaken.

I'll be able to update this tomorrow
