Apologies if this is not the correct place for this - I'm not certain if it deserves its own thread/suggestion/submission or if it would be better off here, and I haven't posted on these forums in literally years. Has a non-ubers-based "tier" of MnM been considered? As it stands, IMO, this meta...

Not completely useless ≠ deserving of a mention. People get where you're coming from, just not why you keep lauding a lesser option. Yeah, you can use it, but why would you? It'd be best if you just put down the shovel and said "yeah i guess you guys are right, it IS kinda meh".

I have a feeling these remakes won't actually take place in Hoenn.

The former -made- the thread... so... good luck with that. I love Mega Aggron, and while I think it will have to tip-toe around wayward Special attacks a lot, its being underestimated. Quoting common weaknesses as reasoning for a mon being unusable in ubers is kinda silly. All sorts of other...

The reason so many people are upset is because of this thing's speed combined with its defense and two quad weaknesses and very few usable resists. I hate mindlessly bashing new mons but I can see the point here; this thing will probably not stay in OU. In UU or RU however I think it will...

Bold in the first set is not worth it. Natures are a % boost and a 10% boost to a stat as low as Volc's defense is a waste of a nature boost. I'd use modest/timid to get the most out of the boost and run 252/252 HP/Def if you're going for a bulky QD set.

Absorbs Water, 3 quad resists, no quad weaknesses. Hardly worse, if anything, on par. Also, usable secondary STAB. Shuckle is "REALLY slow". See the plethora of posts quoting 2HKO calcs against common OU dragons. Also you could say the same thing about Volcarona, as well as Heatran, who...

I seem to remember people whistling a very similar tune with Heatran and Volcarona, saying it would be total crap. I think its more along the lines of "Its a Fire type so it will be crap." I think your post makes a lot of assumptions and sweeping statements and so far most of the people "hyping"...

You're still thinking like its DPP or BW. entry hazards aren't what they used to be no matter what people say. And since when are the pink blobs physical walls?? If Sacred Fire is confirmed I can definitely see this thing being used in OU. Sacred Fire is that good of a move.

A magic bounce user should be able to switch in as easily as possible to block any incoming status moves and a mon weak to SR is always second tier in that regard. Also the set you are listing is silly; you're trying to use an offensive set on a support mon with weaker offensive stats than...

I think the fact that it has more resistances than any non-steel type in the game now deserves a mention in the pros... not as a wall or tank itself, but just in terms of teambuilding, that's a lot of holes that it can plug at once.

I'd like to know what OHKOs/2HKOs a mon with filter/230 defense avoids by investing EVs in defense, specifically. I disagree that you should invest in Atk/SpD, but a set with Max HP/SpD with an Impish nature to take advantage of that defense stat (since nature boosts are multiplicative and EV...

Not QC or anything, and its not nearly as big a deal now with defog, but I'd definitely mention in pros that Nidoking doesn't give a damn about almost any entry hazard, absorbing TS, resisting SR, spikes are very rare, and has Sucker Punch to sort of work its way around SW.

I think its safe to say most mons whose sole purpose was laying hazards or rapid spinning (emphasis on -sole- purpose) are going to see a sharp drop in usage and even tiering with some of them. I'll be shocked if DeoS even pulls OU off, for example.

I think its worth pointing out that even with all the type chart changes, as far as mons you will see in ubers, Reshiram still has unresisted STAB coverage, which was always its main calling card. The fact that it is specially based is going to limit what it can do as far as sweeping or wall...

Of course its good, I'm just saying if people step back and take a long hard look at the amount of effort being put forth in team building to get around SR/spikes etc. whilst getting around your opponent getting around SR/spikes/yadda yadda, with Defog doing what it does now, I think people will...

Should more defensive variants focus on the defense stats and leave HP uninvested to grab the most recovery from OW?

Logically I think Defog will make hazards a lot rarer than people think. The reason being simply that because it removes yours and your opponent's, many people using it will probably not bother setting them up at all, and then just as many of their opponents will approach things from that same...

Never said it wasn't an awesome ability. Just saying it should not be relied upon at the expense of legitimate healing.

Taunt has been around a lot longer than Defog and is much easier to predict. Everyone is talking about keeping up offensive pressure, that applies against Taunt users every bit as much as Defog users. Edit: Also if Assault Vest takes off, which I dunno if it will, people will probably want to...
