It seems like UU is finalizing it's 'trash drain', all those garbage picks are coming to RU.

From all the tiers, RU has the most dope new gen 8 mons like Copparajah, Indeedee-M, Coallosal, Barraskewda, Morpeeko and many more. Now that RU also got analysis I can steal, I think I'll have fun building for that tier.

And tiers that have trash like Butterfree and Pikachu in them are always a fun sight, what a wonderful world we live in.

Also, UU has once again some stupid mons to get rid off, good luck with that, boys!

Also, why didn’t regular Ninetales drop? It was below 4.52% UU usage

Ninetales was already RU

And here are the tier shifts visualized once more!

[MaahirMomtaz12]

seeing the wave of new pokemon that came from Home washing away mons into lower tiers like Toxtricity, Centiskorch, Obstagoon, etc is a weird feeling. Just a reminder: it's going to happen again, twice, with the DLC

Toxtricity only dropped because of Dugtrio's dominance

 

[Cheryl.]

Is there a way I can get an empty template of the tier shift graphics? They look so sick and I'd like to make my own but I'm really bad at graphics.

| 36 | Sylveon | 3.897% |

Quick Ban confirmed?, Quick Ban confirmed
Sylveon would be broken in the UU

No, sorry. It's also a bit complicated to utilize so it probably wouldn't be that helpful for you.

Why would this be broken? I don't see a problem with this.

Darmanitan dropped from OU to UU
Torkoal dropped from OU to UU

I do, however, see a problem with this.

I've used the same team in UU for about 3 months... let's shake it up a little bit, shall we?

 

[Icemann]

Ttar is pretty close to dropping, imagine telling someone last generation that Tyranitar is about to drop to UU in gen 8

 

[War Incarnate]

Hello, Specs Sylveon exists

yes but that's not very good due to lack of viable coverage; at this point, you're better off running Calm Mind variants or a more defensive set.

 

[theotherguytm]

Hawlucha moved from UUBL to OU

...why? Just leave it in UUBL to die. Don't prolong its suffering. Gen 8 is not the gen for Hawlucha.

Rotom-Wash moved from OU to UU

Rotom-M last seen packing its bags and heading for RU.

Rhydon moved from NU to RU

RU: "Grr, how dare UU take Gigalith! Take that, NU!"

Pikachu moved from NFE to PU

Well, you know things are dire down there when Pikachu finally gets tiered. In the same tier as Raichu.

----- above is PU, below is ZU* ------- * except Wishiwashi rose to NU at the same time
| 46 | Wishiwashi | 4.477% |

NU:

| 48 | Wishiwashi | 4.552% |

Washi is big sad. It was looking forward to being ZUBL.

Trapinch moved from LC to PU

Finally, after many attempts and a close call in RU, this little guy found a home. I'm so happy for him.

Butterfree is not trash. It is a very threatening sweeper in NU.

Quick Ban confirmed?, Quick Ban confirmed
Sylveon would be broken in the UU

It was in UU before and wasn't broken then, UU was begging to get Sylveon back, and it has a good counter in Toxtricity.

Toxtricity is check, Sylveon Specs Psyshock is 1HKO

 

[War Incarnate]

Toxtricity is check, Sylveon Specs Psyshock is 1HKO

again, nobody runs Psyshock on Sylveon.

HOW MANY TIMES WILL I HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON, THAT CHOICE SPECS SYLVEON IS BAD AND SO IS PSYSHOCK SYLVEON

ok ok, but let's not flood this
