Palossand from B+ to A- Palossand gets rocks now which is huge for this mon in the meta, no longer having to run another ground/rock/steel type on your team which can rack up weaknesses to a common type such as water or ground is very helpful. Palossand is also one of if not the best Archeops...

im only going to reply to one post about Fearow. in response, Fearow does in fact hit its opponents hard with drill run that resist it. +2 252 Atk Fearow Drill Run vs. 172 HP / 0 Def Probopass: 396-468 (130.2 - 153.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO +2 252 Atk Fearow Drill Run vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Aggron...

so here's a unsuspected nomination for D, and the nomination is Fearow. Recently ive tried out a lot of unranked mons to see if they had any real use in the tier( Swalot, Luxray, Hypno ) and after searching and battling for a good 3 days i think we found our boy. Something that already puts...

Butterfree @ Grassium Z Ability: Tinted Lens EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Quiver Dance - Sleep Powder - Energy Ball - Bug Buzz +1 252+ SpA Butterfree Bloom Doom (175 BP) vs. 128 HP / 252+ SpD Lanturn: 418-492 (98.8 - 116.3%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO 252+ SpA...

Robert made a post above addressing some of the C/D rank pokemon, but he missed a few that i would like to comment on. Pyukumuku C- to C+/B-: Pyukumuku counters set up in the tier from mons such as Carracoasta or Gorebyss making them far less viable for that particular battle, also that thing...

Tangela is honestly one of the best defensive walls in PU and people dont notice it. Tangela starts off with a base 115 defense before the evolite activates which is insane. Among being very bulky defensively Tangela counters a huge amount of top tier threats such as Lycanroc, Primeape...

Alright back at it again, but this time instead of focusing on the negative, lets focus on a more positive post. Ludicolo is a mon in the tier that made rain the threat it is today. Ludicolo as we know is huge to deal with in rain and has access to 4 moves that hit basically everything in the...

Really good post, but beside that, you said my statement contradicted itself, it didnt i just might have explained it poorly. What im saying is that Lurantis does well against Carracoast and Lanturn, but whats to stop Lanturn or Carracoasta from swapping out? nothing, Skunktank can hit Mesprit...

Before i reply thank you for reading my post, i appreciate it, relicath shouldn't even be at C- as it is, but thats beside the point. The reason i dont acknowledge anything positive about Lurantis, is because it barely does anything good. Leaf storm + contrary could be great for wall breaking...

A mon that i think is ranked far to high is Lurantis. Lurantis is currently ranked a solid B in the viability rankings, that really surprises me considering how many problems the tier brings for this mon as a defogger or offensive presence in general. Lurantis is weak to Skunktank the primary...

I said damage wise you can compare Magmortar and Combusken, because as you said the most common set is special for Combusken and Magmortar gets about the same moves and hits harder therefor outclassing it. There's also a lot more i said to the argument such as IF Combusken misses its low...

Even with the special set it would still be a D considering we have better special fire hitters like Magmortar that out class it (damage wise). The special set is also very risky as the main stab/usable moves ( focus blast & fireblast ) have a chance of missing which obviously isnt good. However...

Lumineon is the worst defogger in the tier that actually gets used. Lumineon cant take a hit for its life and cant dish any hits out either, base 69 defense and base 69 hp is horrid along with a base 69 special attack proves this thing does nothing at all. On top of all this the only recovery...

oh boi where do i get started, first off is Pidgeot. Pidgeot was ranked a C despite literally doing nothing for the tier. This thing is not even considered a defogger, because of its poor base 75 defense and 70 special defense, along with taking damage because of type weakness to rocks. Whats...

Im here today to talk about a mon that has blown me away in how underrated it actually is, and as you probably see below that mon is Sawsbuck. Sawsbuck is a mon with great coverage and speed making it a good revenge killer and power house in general. Base 100 attack isnt too shabby along...

A mon that doesnt get used very much like before is charizard. Charizard is such a versatile mon and can often wreak havoc on teams that underestimate it. Its dominate enough that charizard can viably run physical and special sets making it unpredictable. Swapping in lanturn on zard could cost...

I definelty agree with you, lapras is without a doubt slept on. Lapras also gets access to heal bell which can be very useful depending on the mons in your team. And if your not feeling water absorb, lapras also has shell armor which i think is such an underrated ability. Crits are all so common...

Im aware that no lanturn runs max hp and max special defense, it was more of making a statement, lanturn is a good special defensive wall in the tier and if drifblim can 2 okho that at max hp and max special defense, imagine what destruction it could bring upon the rest of the tier. I dont think...

that was a suggest set when i was doing calcs, so apparently in oras that was popular or something.
