How many SM pokemon will be competitively viable once Bank goes live in January?

Lots of new Pokemon just need some new tutor moves to be viable

This happens every gen, the new Pokemon are missing a few moves that would make them more viable, then the remakes/third versions come out with tutors, and those Pokemon gain those moves
>>
>>30329056
>then the remakes/third versions come
Isn't Pokemon Z awesome?
>>
>>30329208

Gen 6 Pokemon got access to tutors in ORAS, hence why I said remakes/third versions
>>
Toxapex
All the UBs
All the Tapus, although on the fence about Fini
Bewear
Silvally, Decidueye, and Golisopod in RU/UU


Rest are dogshit

Isn't pokemon stars already confirmed or something?
>>
>>30329397
No. WTF?
>>30329318
>Guzzlord
>Bewear
>Decidueye
>competitively viable
No. WTF?
>>
>>30329484
there's credible rumors of stars, so it's not 100% confirmed but it makes sense and is more likely to happen than not
>>
>>30326637
None of them
All of them become less viable because they don't have moves and are shitmons

There's no point in using Tsareena when Tangrowth is a betterpure grass-type and even Hitmontop and Donphan are better spinners, not to mention smogstar and smogonmole.

Jangmo-o is redundant as a dancer because why use it when Mence, Zard, and Nite exist? Special sets are out classed by Hydreigon and Latios.

I could go on, but really the only ones I can see being OU or BL are the Tapus, some of the UBs like Nihelgeo (Pheremosa will likely be banned), and Toxapex. Bewear will be UU or something.
>>
>>30329484
>Guzzlord
Solid UU, with potential in OU. It's got resttalk and great HP
>Bewear
You must be retarded. Its going to be BL at worst, great ability, bulk, attack, along with decent typing and moves
>Decidueye
This is also surprising, but it could be solid UU with potential in OU. It spinblocks, defogs, pseudo traps, and has access to reliable recovery and a good physical movepool
>>
>>30329535
>there's credible rumors of stars
No there aren't. It's all internet shitters.
>but it makes sense and is more likely to happen than not
Z made sense too.
>>30329549
>being this delusional
Hahaha! Oh wow!
>>
OU even after pokébank:
>Toxapex
>Minior
>Tapus
>UBs
>Magearna
>Alolan Marowak
>>
>>30329484
>your opinions
No. WTF?
>>
>>30329616
>Alolan Marowak
>Shittier Chandelure


Also, why Minior? Its Shell Smash isnt that good

Why do people say Silvally will be good? What are people seeing that I'm not?
>Mini Arceus
It doesn't have Arceus' bulk to set up with. No priority. No recovery. Plates boost their respective moves and memories don't. Offenses are ass.
>Utility
All it offers in this respect is Parting Shot. Garfield has more speed and more bulk to do this with, and it has a faster Taunt, STAB Foul Play and a flex pick of Switcheroo, Toxic or Fake Out. Eviolite Type:Null can't compete with Porygon2 because it doesn't have Recover.
>Normal Physical Attacker
It's shit. Physically inferior to Cinccino and Staraptor and slower than both. Less bulky than Snorlax and Bewear.
>Special Attacker
I can maybe see this since it's marginally faster than Porygon-Z but Porygon-Z has leaps and bounds more offensive prowess, so it's not even worth it. Not to mention all the non-Normal types that you'd be inclined to use instead.
>>
>>30329318
I'm pretty sure Fini will be fine since she's literally everything Primarina wanted to be and more

Great defensive typing
Great defensive stats
Actual decent fucking speed
Access to Aqua Ring
>>
>>30329704
The way I see it, it's the Genesect of lower tiers. It will wreck shit in NU and RU, but once in UU or above it will be a sitting duck.
>>
>>30329616
A-Marowak will be UU or RU at best.
>But it's a UB killer!
Ok, sure. I'll give you that. It has advantages on Pheremosa, Xurkitree and Paper-mon and Giant-flying-christmas-tree mon, whose names escape me.

But Primeape didn't see any use at all un Ubers even though it countered Darkrai, because that's all it could do. Rhyperior checked Bravestbirb but it didn't rise to OU, or even to UU.

Tyranitar hard counters Latios and it's OU. Why? Because it's good even on other pokemon that aren't Latios and it isn't dead weight if the opposing trainer happens to forgo using a Latios on his team

Oranguru is a monster in doubles paired with mega kengiskhan spamming earthquake, fur coat alolan persian is really good too and a bunch of these niggas could really thrive on trick room teams. Alolan marowak is a beast on trick room teams. Also worth looking at is drizzle pelipper over politoed with tailwind could give some insane speed for swift swimmers.

Parental Bond doesn't work with Earthquake, at least try your theoryshit before you brag about it to /vp/.
