>>29940712
During Gen V, Unova starters weren't higher than RU due to unreleased HAs, Emboar was the only one on RU while Serperior and Samurott were NU. They were considered the worst starters ever created but many people said that will change when their HAs were released.

Comes ORAS and HAs Unova Starters were announced, then after 2 months Serperior rose to OU were it stays there as the best non-Mega Grass starter.

I'll never forget it, that was the best thing that happened on Gen VI. Now let's see this HAs:

>Contact moves are not considered contact moves
>Intimidate
>Water-type version of -ate abilities limited only to Sound moves

Honestly, Liquid Voice is the best of the three but Long Reach has some uses.

Decidueye will be OU simply because it has one of the most powerful singles niches ever born in the history of Pokemon. The ability to trap a Pokemon, boost without fear of being damaged by said Pokemon and then baton pass it to your Sweeper is simply unparalleled and will boost it to the top tiers of OU.

I'm not going to use Decidueye, anon. Nor Incineroar or Primarina.

All three are sub-par, but the owl and the tiger have key traits that will let them see at least a little play in the higher tiers.

In what alternate universe do you live in? Liquid Voice is easily the worst of the three. Intimidate is easily the best and Long Reach at least has some value.

Decidueye is obviously Ubers, maybe even AG. Spirit Shackle is too good and it's the fastest of the three.

Snek would be easy PU and Froggo UU without there HAs. Intimidate is not enough.

Decidueye = Ubers since it's basically unstoppable. Its typing means that it completely walls Chesnaught, and that's just too much for the average player to deal with.

Incineroar = S Rank OU since fire/dark is a good typing. Opponents will have to look out for both fire and dark type attacks. Intimidate also means that physical attackers may have to switch out into a pokemon that could be weak to fire or dark. I could see it getting sent to ubers eventually.

Primarina = S Rank OU since its ability allows it to use sound moves that can hit through substitutes. This makes substitutes completely unviable and will greatly effect the meta game.

All and all, these are some of the best starters I've seen in a while.

That was before we knew their stats. Have you run calcs on any of the starters?

They are garbage. Primarina is the best of the 3, only because it has a fairy typing. Incineroar is a Fire/Dark type, neither of which is good with such a low speed.

Hariyama beats Incineroar in every match up.
252+ Atk Hariyama Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Incineroar: 440-522 (111.6 - 132.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Hariyama Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Abomasnow: 314-372 (79.6 - 94.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
-1 252+ Atk Hariyama Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Incineroar: 210-248 (53.2 - 62.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
-1 252+ Atk Hariyama Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Incineroar: 296-350 (75.1 - 88.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock

Even with a Choice Band Incineroar only does 51.7 - 61% to Hariyama.
Incineroar can't touch any relevant Fighting type.

Decidueye=UU or BL
UU is a very stall and water based meta. With its amazing support and utility move pool, as well as the ability to trap any non normal types while hitting ghosts hard, I would be surprised if this thing isn't at least used a lot in UU

Incineroar=RU
Incineroar is a lot like Arcanine, but has slightly better Atk Bulk in exchange for a fighting weakness it would rather not have, no reliable recovery, and significantly lower speed. So it's not UU tier, but it might burn up in RU as the other competition it has in RU is Emboar which has enough differences to use both.
Primarina=RU or BL3
Similar to Incineroar's case, this thing has competition, but it's significantly worse for it. It has so many competitors that can do a better job than it, even in UU. On top of that, its move pool really sucks. It has like Hydro Pump, Moonblast, Scald, Ice Beam, and Hyper Voice (Which we might not be able to get yet). Even in RU, it faces tough competition like Blastoise, Jellicent, Seismitoad, and Slowking. The over saturation of Water Types kills this thing's viability, but it might have a chance competing in RU, and if it drops in usage, it will probably be banned from Rock City.

Has 100 in both Attack and Special Attack, has a good movepool, blocks Spinners, has a trapping move, and if Speed is that much of a concern, you can just Scarf it for over 400 Speed, not to mention it has Sucker Punch for priority anyway.

There was a rumor it had a different effect value from Thousand Waves, but still. I could see it since it's a specialty move and it stitches the shadow to the ground, but I see no source.

Why you people have to be like this?
>>
>>29942516
The Anchor only has better Physical Bulk. The Owl has better Special Bulk and can roost on walls while the anchor can't do either.

Isn't spirit shackles basically an improved Wobuffet?
If so Decidueye confirmed ubers.
>>

Have you read this thread you fucking retards? It's Incineroarfags and Primarinafags constantly attacking Decidueye while Decidueyefriends are forced to defend Decidueye. Fuck off revisionist.

>>
>>29942690
Not really. Spirit Shackle is really good as it prevents Double Switches Automatically, breaks Regen cores, and with luck, can trap a wall that can't do anything to it with sub up. Wobbuffet on the other hand has Stag, which traps all non-ghost types automatically as long as they don't switch they turn you switch in. It's more like a better Infestation that does actual damage and hits Ghosts decently that otherwise would avoid the trapping. It also can't trap Normal types either, but it still is a very good tool for owl and might mean it would be auto NU without it.
>>
>>29942819
Don't forget about the denial of Incineroarfags.
Incineroar is OHKO'd by every Fighting type, even the terrible ones in NU.

Incineroar just can't survive in a world of Sneaky Stones and Punching types.
>>
>>29942834
hahahaha
>>
>>29940712
Primarina = UU/BL2 (outclassed utility-wise by a similar mon, Sylveon, but it's really strong and gets Water STAB)
Incineroar = UU/maybe OU (bulky pivot with a strong Dark move and Fighting coverage, synergises well with Tapu Bulu)
Decidueye = UU (trapping and SD passing gives it a good niche and it has pretty good Special bulk, plus with Long Reach it can do a Scarf U-turn set without taking contact damage)
>>
>>29942983
Primarina is not strong at all. It's an extremely slow pokemon that's frail physically and specially with a mediocre special attack stat.
>>
>>29942913
Which move are they using? You're not switching this in on a Fighting type unless you're the type to needlessly sac 3 mons, and it can take Mach Punch pretty well with Intimidate and 95/90 defensive bulk

Ok,but here's the thing.

>Decidueye has two recover options, is faster, has many more moves that would be used for a utility set.

By golly! It looks like they fill two very different roles!

Seriously Dhelmise is obviously going for a offensive bulky mon while Decidueye is going for utility/pivot.
>>
>>29943579
still the list is small like norps dick. Flaming furfag is NU at best
>>
>>29943547
I'm still not convinced of this. Dhelmise has higher Attack and Defense, Power Whip, Rapid Spin, some decent coverage like Rock Slide, pseudo-STAB on Steel, and a trap move that hits all types. Not bad.

Decidueye has better Sp.Defense and Speed, enough to outpace and fuck most stallmons. It also has a wider support movepool with U-turn, Baton Pass (and boosts), and Defog, true STAB on its trap move, actual recovery in Roost and Synthesis, and coverage like Brave Bird, Sucker Punch, and Low Sweep.

It's never good to be as slow as Dhelmise without recovery. Ask Aggron and friends. The two are unacceptably similar but I don't think Deci is completely outdone. There's even a chance it's versatile enough to get a slight edge. Neither is all that impressive, though.
>>
>>29943611
Why though?
Can you adress this points, please?
Primarina has good special stats, but plenty of competition. Only use of SAria even in game is healing your burns and telling Flame Orb Hariyama to fuck off.
Incineroar has the most usefull HA, but has a shitty pull. Access to U-turn is good and has some bulk but is too slow for it to be too good, methinks.
Decidueye has a wide movepool. Shitty physical pool, but I see nothing that gets it lower than UU.

Be wary that I still think Decidueye is gonna be another Electivire before thinks settle down though.

>UU has Suicune, Mega Blastoise, Vapereon, Sylveon, and Empoleon
>And RU Slowking, normal Blastoise, Quilfish, Alomomola, Clawitzer, Jellicent, Togetic, and Aromatisse
At least with Incineroar and Decidueye, there are good (non-meme) reasons to use them over the competition, and they have significantly less competition.
Incineroar as like Arcanine and Emboar depending on how you use it. And Decidueye the Anchor, which they are pretty close in viability.

Here is your (You) Sealfag
>>
>>29943699
Due to intimidate, snarl, and the Fire/Dark typing, Incineroar counters:
Jirachi, Ferrothorn, Metagross, Doublade, Scizor, Metagross, Weavile, Victini, Skarmory, Heatran, Bisharp, Roserade, Celebi, Chandelure, Alakazam, Mew, Azelf, Umbreon, Reuniclus, Roserade, and Froslass

>>29943825
Decidueye doesn't have the stats for it's job and has a terrible HA for it's job, and the abilities mean a lot.
It's decently wide movepool doesn't mean much without a good ability.

>>29943997
You got it backwards, it's -1 not +1.

Additionally Bisharp very rarely carries brick break.
>>
>>29943138

>Can Switch in with Ease

If it's an itemless Incineroar with Acrobatics, you are losing more than half your HP, then dying the next turn while doing jack shit. If it's a
252 HP Life Orb Bulk Up Incineroar, it lives through CC if it bulked while Hariyama came in, and takes out Hariyama with two EQs.

So no, it isn't a hard counter at all. You need to retailor Hariyama to run more defensive sets for it to be.

252+ Atk Houndoom Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 0 HP / 152 Def Hariyama: 294-346 (68.5 - 80.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

If it's not a Guts Hariyama(Thick Fat Assault Vest is the go to Hariyama, by the way), you can just WoW it if you run that.

And Incineroar can just U-Turn out if Hariyama is otherwise causing it issues.

Mmm yes, the Brick Break Bisharp. How could I forget that omnipresent set that every one runs on Bisharp
>>
Given that the starters' HAs aren't even released yet, their usage isn't going to be very significant. Decidueye will probably initially be the best of them, if only for the utility it provides. Primarina will get shitstomped in OU with Kartana/Celesteel/Xurkitree/Aegislash everywhere, and faces stiff competition in UU. Incineroar has okay bulk, but no speed and a crappy ability will get him fucked nearly everywhere.

The most common Bisharp set in OU has Knock Off, Iron Head, and Sucker Punch. All of which Incineroar can tank with ease.

If there's no way to get Long Reach/Intimidate/Liquid Voice in game, when do you think we'll be able to? Because as it stands, all three of them aren't going to make it anywhere above UU at this rate.

Long Reach can be situationally useful for avoiding Rocky Helmet/status abilities/King's Shield, but it's not really that great otherwise. Liquid Voice at least gives STAB, but it also gives Water Absorb abilities the niche of being able to absorb Perish Song and shit.

Intimidate is the most useful, but the problem is that Incineroar is so gimped without it that he just becomes mediocre instead of trash.

Yes but how many of his moves actually make contact
If spirit shackle makes contact thats pretty shit

>>29946653
Spirit Shackle is Physical, so more than likely it'll count as contact. A lot of its movepool is physical despite his SpA being slightly better, but it doesn't seem to punish you for wanting to use one over the other.

Long Reach isn't fantastic by any means, but given that 'on contact' moves and abilities have been becoming more common, it's nice to have something to negate that.

Most of the people that choose Incineroar and Primarina already accepted their pokemon aren't making it to OU, but for whatever reason Decidueye's people can't accept their owl is terrible. They are saying they are going to use it as a pivot but it's doesn't even work well for that. This is what a pivot is suppose to be:

"A pivot is a Pokemon that is generally only used for switching. Due to good defensive stats and a solid defensive typing, they can usually take little damage as they switch in, and the opposing switch they force allows the player to switch again safely to another Pokemon. An offensive pivot will force a switch by threatening KO on the opponent, thus obtaining momentum, whereas a defensive pivot will be difficult to break past, and thus will slow the opponent's momentum."

Decidueye lack both the defense and offense to be any kind of good pivot.

>But I can use spirit shackle + boosting move + baton pass.

So you are telling me you think Decidueye can survive 3 turns with its bulk and poorly defensive type?

>Bu-But it can heal itself with sinthesis or roost!

Well, then you will never be able to complete the combo spirit shackle + boosting move + baton pass, you will be just slowing the inevitable.

Most actual competitive players know where to actually place Decidueye and I never heard anyone say it'll be a pivot.

It can pull the combo off if it traps a stall Pokemon that can't do shit to it, like Ferrothorn.

How you're going to trap it is tricky though. It all comes down to prediction. At the very least it can help force switches.

Primarina and Incineroar are gonna be RU. There are things in UU and up that outclass them completely.

Decidueye is UU. It carves a niche with its signature move and Baton Pass.

>>
>>29953474
This comic explains it perfectly >>29945001
Retards think it's the biggest blow to stall since Hoopa Unbound because it can trap things and set up on them while keeping itself healthy.
What's gonna happen though is on release people will be using way more offensive teams, they will also be using all the shit that's getting unbanned and retested which usually deals with stall even better than Decidueye just with their sheer amount of power. And even after all that shit stabilizes Decidueye will still be terrible vs stall because it can't trap and beat common stall staples like M-Sableye, Chansey and Skarmory. It's also heavily gated by 4mss to deal with other stall staples.
>>
>>29953458
Well yeah what else are you going to invest in?
>>
>>29953711
That just makes it even less threatening to the things that'll likely switch in on it.

Decidueye will be RU.

Primarina and Incineroar are confirmed shit though you retard, both NU or RU at best

Decidueye is the one with room to debate

El tigre is the only one I can consider to be good. Nice Bulk, Nice coverage, good Attack and 60 speed for trickroom

imo, in doubles tiger can be sweeper if we pair him with instruct and some speed and attack boost

it learns sword dance anon. The only thing I am kinda bugged about is that he canĀ“t learn fire punch.

Also Intimidate is super. How can we get his HA?

Most viable high tier offensive set for bad cat is jolly choice scarf, flare blitz, darkest lariat, u turn, and eq.

Basically a less effective darmanitan.

It doesn't. There is a total of 3 grass types and 3 ghost types in RU. None of which are even remotely similar to it in anyway outside of the typing and some move pool overlap. And I don't see any Pokemon in RU that can trap most Pokemon, can pass either Swords Dance or Nasty Plot, and resists scald/immune to spore.

Decidueye and Dhelmise will be like Coke and Pepsi. Each have their small advantages over the other but they are more or less the same shit, no reason why they shouldn't both be RU.

Honestly people posting this shit have no idea how competetive works. You're either a full on slow wallbreaker with one of the attack stat being really high, or fast mixed attacker. Decidueye can't pull off neither of those things. It has nothing worth of coverage in its special movepool, so there's literally no reason to go mixed. Scarfing it is an even worse idea since it will be piss weak and hard-countered by steel mons and literally every single physical wall that isn't weak to its STAB
>>
>>29940712
Primarina = U
Incineroar = U
Decidueye = U

this is the only true answer.
>>
>>29957710
>muh competetive
you're the retarded one for caring about competetive pokemon.
and to your knowledge i had won a several vgc tournaments in the past so don't try to teach me in something i've mastered already. go and fuck your dog you digusting furfag

Decidueye's only possible niche in OU only works against stall teams that lack an offensive poke. Hyper offense and some balanced teams either kill it instantly or work around it.

I can see Incineroar being an effective bulky attacker/wall that can go mixed. Sadly, that fighting weakness is gonna follow it everywhere and will eventually stop it from being viable on higher tiers.

Primarina in my opinion is the most viable of the three, but that doesn't mean I'll be instant OU. It needs to spend some of it's bulk on defense and HP if it wants to survive a strong physical attack, which hinders it's offensive capabilities and forces it to sacrifice SpA just for that. There's also the fact that competing with Tapu Fini, Tapu Lele, Sylveon, and Clefable for the "specially offensive bulky fairy" spot will leave it very low on the list, since it's only niche is being able to burn stuff with Scald.
>>
Why do people say boomburst primarina is OU? Doesn't liquid voice lack a boost to boom burst?
>>
>>29960009
Nobody is saying that since Primarina doesn't get Boomburst.

All three starters will be RU at most.
>>
>>29940712
so is incineroar fire dark?
>>
Primarina: no reliable recovery + ass coverage + ass defense + ass speed = NU trashbin

Incineroar: ehh recovery(Leech Life) + ehh coverage + good attack + ass defense = RU/king of NU

Decidueye: reliable recovery(Roost) + nice mixed stats + ok defense + scarf user = UU/king of RU

It lacks a couple things, but coverage certainly isn't one of them.
