Low lad
low ladder players, i played in an alternetive account and this guy was like common
Maybe it's because it's the first thing people see in the teambuilder? Idk
How did Maushold get more usage than Garg
No its not, being carried by a 90% accuracy move that requires a item isnt good
Its coloing time
It's Spidover...
So...Garchomp has fallen to UU.
Who would've thought I've live to see the day where Garchomp of all thing is now UU.
RIP Garchomp, 2006-2023. It was a good run.

Imagine being Landorus-T, the face of several past OU tiers, being close to drop to UU while a penguin which never smelt OU since 2010 has more usage than you
I'm not a person to wish for anybody to drop to UU however with the new additions to UU I wish Empoleon would have dropped too to become my ideal meta
I fucking hate Ambipom with a vengeance I watch FSG's video on it every night to go to sleep as a low ladder player I hate fellow low ladder players who play Ambipom I'VE SEEN SO MUCH AMBIPOM THESE WEEKS FUCK THE MONKE FFS
Surprised to see Gliscor didn't crack Top 5 tbh
Also my main team in OU Pre-HOME was Amoonguss Clod Skeledirge Garg Dozo and Gambit so I'm one step closer to doing the same in UU

What is it about ambipom that makes it so common on low ladder, why are people using it?
Its low ladder
infamous noobtrap mon, people see stab technician tail slap+fake out combined with a good speed stat and think its good
It has Technichian Fake Out, which has been hyped because Scizor also has STAB Technichian priority, but Scizor is bulky and strong, while Ambipom is frail and 100 Attack is mid af. It's also because Technichian Double Hit outdamages Return, but is not 100% accurate, and low ladder players think they have found a hidden gem while in reality they sound like an NPC. It could be also be because Ambipom is popular, but idk, it dosen't seem too popular for me
I see it guys, Teal Mask UU is the new Unova Overused.
Heatran, Rotom Wash, Garchomp, Amoongus and Conkeldurr, are definitely the older gods.

One word: Weather
Everyone's out there going mad over the crazy power creep while I here am enjoying the fact ribombee got higher usage than lando
U go girl!!!
Ok idk why I put this here...

Heatran and Chomp dropping would've been surprising most other gens but here it was kinda expected. On the other hand I doubt UU will be keeping things like Moltres, Garg, and Meow once the DLC1 meta stabilizes. Having weathers back won't be fun either way.
Poor Ambipom. After one generation of being decent it's just cursed to be the Monkey of Lame, always being higher than it should be.

guys i think the current tiering system can no longer keep up with the power creep
rotom and ttar both fell to uu last gen, those aren't shocking. the other guys though? damn. ou staples found dead due to a combination of movepool restrictions and insane power creep. sad but that's the reality of gen 9
It's the first month after a DLC drop that introduced a lot of stuff that turned things on their head. It sucks that they do it like this now, but things will stabilize 2-3 months after DLC2. Aside from the few OU mainstay drops (that most could have predicted anyway) you're probably looking at, most of the new mons got put in the correct (or close to correct w/ some) tier.

I hope Sandy Shocks enjoyed her nice vacation up to OU for a few months. Will be expecting to see them at 50% usage in UU by november (half joking; there are more Shocks answers now)
now in a reasonable tier for its power level also makes me wanna try PU. I love that little guy
