Are going to be under 480 BST shitmons and are going to rot in the depths of NU forever?
i can't agree no
please close your thread

I'm not convinced these guys will be below 480, no.
>Toukipek
>Below 480
Staraptor: 485
Unfezant: 488
Pidgeot: 489
Talonflame: 499
Not bloody likely, bub.

Can agree on those. Other ones have good things going for them. They'll be UU. Starters will rot in PU.
>Toukipek
All other starter birds have greater than 480 BST
>Gumshoos
Yeah it will have a low BST, but I'm doubtful of it being NU what with the abilities
>Vikavolt
Maybe. As long as it has good offensive stats it can maybe escape competitive obscurity
>Drampa
Even if it has bad stats it will still see some use cause of its ability.
>Bruxish
It's a meme shitmon imo. Seems solidly NU to me.
>Ribombee
I want to believe
>Togedemaru
Pikaclones always have a low BST. It will be a good defensive spikes setter in PU/NU, cap this
>Salandit2
It will have a better BST than that imo. It might make be good for RU if it can compete with Delphox
>Mimikyu
I'm not sure.
>Comfey
It's a shitmon.
>Mudsdale
No. Stamina seems like a pretty solid ability.
>Minior
At the very least, it's ability will give it niche use in the higher tiers, plus it sort of circumvents it's inevitably shitty bst.
>Lurantis
Probably just another shitty grass type, so you might be right.
>Oricorio
I can see the Electric form maybe breaking into RU, just cause it's a great type. With solid speed and special attack it could be pretty okay.
>Palossand
Ghost/Ground isn't a great defensive type, and we all know how Golurk turned out. It will have solid stats though.
>Pyukumuku
Definitely won't get good stats, it seems like a low-tier gimmick mon. Maybe it will surprise us with an amazing movepool + minmaxed bulk.
>morelull
I'm not sure about this one.
>Turtonator
Fire/Dragon is just too good. The
>Passimian
Depends on what it's Singles ability is. I don't see it succeeding as a bulky Fighting type though.
>Oranguru
Yeah, don't see any reason to use this over Meloetta. Normal/Psychic is okay but other than that it just seems like a mediocre psychic type.
>Anchor
It looks like a late game mon with solid stats imo. Probably will be bulky, with a solid defensive type. If it's Ghost/Steel or Water/Steel I don't see it being NU.
>bubble spider
We don't know anything about this pokemon.

>Starters will rot in PU
Popplio seems to have pretty good bulk in all those stats+good SpA, and is likely a Water/Fairy type with a signature move that is a double screen setter.
It would surprise me to see this thing be anything but OU.
Litten may end up in UU since it seems to be a speedy mixed attacker(focus on atk) who's likely to have STAB Knock Off. RU at worst, I'd guess.
The only thing we know about the the Owl is that it seems to have the highest HP of any starter- the minimum it was calculated to have was base 65, which is the same as Tepig(who has the highest Base HP among the starters by a good margin).
>>29433800
Can we all agree /vp/ knows nothing about competitive ?
I feel like Bruxish is going to be like Alomomola. RU/NU by usage but still plenty viable in UU or OU (provided Gamefreak actually makes it bulky and not give it some retarded spread).

>>29434023
I imagine Morelull will have a niche due to spore.
>>29434023
>Yeah, don't see any reason to use this over Meloetta.
You can use Oranguru in VGC while Meloetta can't.
>>29433800
>Can we all agree
This is /vp/ so obviously not. They may have a low bsts, but many have new moves and abilities that may redeem them.
>>29434231
Yeah, Amoongus is pretty solid with 464 BST.
Grass fairy isn't a good type, though. It'll only be better than Amoongus with insane speed. Just look at it, it won't have insane speed.
>>29433800
Let me remind you that Dugtrio is 405 and is in OU.
