Data Usage-Based Tier Update for January 2024

[ScraftyIsTheBest]

You know shit is insane when fucking Terrakion of all things is in PU.

Terrakion. Fucking Terrakion in PU.

Now let's see if it manages to get QBd from most of the lower tiers. Who will do it first, I wonder.

 

[StompyStomps]

Toxapex #43, fuck
EDIT: It's Garchover again
Meganium was used more that Sceptile, and is in a higher tier than Charizard, proving it is not the worst starter Pokemon

 

[GMars]

| 80 | Minior | 1.251% |
| 81 | Ogerpon-Cornerstone | 1.219% |
| 82 | Manaphy | 1.060% |

Minior moved from OU to UU
Terrakion moved from OU to PU

Wait untill mid 2024 when Meganium drops to the tier below IU
EDIT: Just realized Shaymin is also in PU lol

Terrakion in pu: Exists
My Porygon 2 with tera ghost: "It's free realestate"

 

[Marty]

Thank you for doing this every month Marty
I think there's a mistake with the LC UU banlist you have posted though. It has some things that are definitely below the usage cutoff in there like Buizel.
As far as I can tell, the correct banlist should look something more like this
LC UU Banlist:
Diglett-Alola, Drifloon, Drilbur, Elekid, Foongus, Gastly, Glimmet, Gothita, Grimer-Alola, Growlithe-Hisui, Impidimp, Koffing, Magby, Magnemite, Mareanie, Meowth, Mienfoo, Minccino, Mudbray, Pawniard, Porygon, Shellder, Shroodle, Snivy, Snubbull, Stunky, Tentacool, Timburr, Tinkatink, Toedscool, Trapinch, Voltorb-Hisui, Vullaby, Wattrel

Let me know if I'm mistaken for some reason. Thanks again

Oh yes my mistake, I didn't review the LC output; that was using the month 1 cutoff with no rises. The real banlist is what you have listed plus Scraggy. I'll update my post, thanks!

Yes

Unironically I see Terrakion fine in RU.

Bro saw both DLCs drop and says fuck those new mons and still uses his HOME team. Absolute Chad

 

[StompyStomps]

REGIGIAS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE DECENT THIS GEN, ITS IN NU!!!

 

[StompyStomps]

I don't know the playerbase but the discrepancies in OU to RU and OU to NU is super!

yeah, like, why the fuck is Alolan Exeggutor in RU? and why is Rampardos also in RU? No like, actually please tell me

Terrakion in PU is maybe the biggest indictment of first-month DLC tiering I've ever seen. OU usage deciding which lower tier you drop to is ridiculous when you just know it'll be controlled by new-toy syndrome. Hope they change this next gen

Terrakion being PU sounds silly, but honestly not that big of a deal. It'll just raise up in usage or get quick banned in lower tiers.

It's either we do this or we wait several months for a bunch of shitmons to get down to the right tiers (Which granted still happens to some extent even with the current way DLC drops are handled, but it would be way worse if we just had them all go down to UU and go through the usual drop cycle). Besides, stuff like Terrakion in PU is fairly easy for the lower tiers to deal with since they can just ban the motherfucker, and it will end up in a more appropriate usage based tier come February anyways.

What, change it and bring back the issue of it taking multiple months for a good amount of Pokemon to actually fall down to the tiers they're "meant" to be in? Thats immensely more stupid then funny meme creating tier placements lol

 

[hotpineapple]

uu is gonna be wild for a week
i love this tier

 

[StompyStomps]

PU has already banned Terrakion

 

[tiers in the rain]

terrakion in PU.............EXCUSE ME WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Gliwick]

It seems people don't realize that Terrakion dropped so hard not because it's worse than all those pokemon that landed in RU and NU, but because it's completely outclassed by its paradox form, which has the same role. There was just no reason to use Terrakion in OU, unlike other bad mons, which at least have some unique properties to stand out.

 

[BlightNoceda]

Well, this is something.
Starting to love more Gen 9, makes me feel the chaotic vibe of Gen 5 times. So nostalgic.

there are a lot of Ice types in OU + Raging Bolt has a sucker punch alike + Clodsire

Gliscor is back and Zapdos cannot touch it then we have Kyurem, Weavile with their ice stabs and it got new checks in Meowscarada and Boulder.
