Raichu is going straight to Ubers anyway.

Can't answer for most of those, but I'm a huge fan of Guzzlord, and I can tell you that the big guy isn't so great in competitive play. He ends up playing as a weaker Zygarde with 4x fairy weakness.

Silvally lacks good moves
Wishiwashi is shit in general
>>
>>30503807
It's Golisopod's ability. Turns out that it's horrible when you're up against entry hazards, especially SR.

If Golisopod switches into SR, takes 25% damage, then the opponent lands a 2HKO attack, then Golisopod is forced to switch out. SR murders Golisopod's niche playstyle.

Primarina hits harder so it has that to differentiate it. In addition, Water/Fairy is actually a good typing. That's what I think anyway.

But the ones that aren't getting OU analyses definitely didn't deserve them to begin with.
>>
>>30503856

>>
>>30503866
but muh sneaky pebbles
honestly though gamefreak should just recognize how annoying they are and either
1.make them do less than 50% or 25% just for a switch-in based on type
2.add more moves that remove stealth rocks
3.Give a single type immunity to hazards
4.make stealth rocks less common of a move, steel types are already annoying to deal with, getting to fuck over their counters like fire types by throwing out rocks is dumb
>>
>>30503856
She's the only starter that has an analysis, I doubt she'll actually be OU without reliable recovery.
>>
>>30503822
>x is shit
t. Shitters who already think there is an established meta of OUs to be followed.

Reminder that these are over USED pokemon and that the reason behind this classification is fueled by shitters who just copy whatever some skilled guy has had luck with. Several of these "shit" mons could just as likely pull several victories in the right hands. It's just that 90% of the showdown playerbase isn't "the right hands"

I'm surprised that they don't consider Dhelmise to have a niche in OU worth writing an analysis about.

It's the first Ghost type Rapid Spinner, and it has a pretty strong STAB trapping move.

gamefreak doesn't give a shit how annoying it is because it's a singles move

They nerfed Mega Milf and Talonflame because they were good in doubles AND singles, meanwhile Blaziken and Mega Luke are still entirely free to shit up singles Battle Spot.

Gamefreak doesn't really give a shit about its fans or its games, and if they cared enough to change SR they would've done it some time in the last decade. C'est la vie.

literally all this is saying is that the listed pokemon will not be OU - you're an idiot if you thought any more than one or two would. they will be getting analyses for whatever lower tier they end up in and if it so happens that they are also viable in OU, they will get an analysis for that as well (which happens all the time - look at tangrowth in ORAS)

If you go to the actual page on Smogon, there is the list in the OP, and a disclaimer on the bottom that states any mon that doesn't appear in the post at all (e.g. Mudsdale, etc) will not e getting an analysis for OU because they are shitmons.

The reason the smogonfag specified those in the OP is because sub 1400 shitters still think that Sulvally and Golisopod are anything but completely unsuable shitmons.

The anon you quoted made a list of Alolamons who ARE getting analyses

Get it?

I'll have to say I had more fun in lower tiers like UU and NU than most of the time I had in OU. It's just not fun anymore.

>tfw Lycanroc (Day) is my newest bromon and he's literally just one coverage move away from being viable in OU on my sandstorm team instead of being a one trick mememon

Oh well, at least there's a chance he'll get some love next gen. I waited six gens for Flareon to get a good STAB move, this'll be nothing in comparison.

Does ribo do well in doubles? I imagine it must do better than in singles, it seems so doubles-geared, but I can still see it being overshadowed there. No idea if smogon is even discussing doubles right now.

Despite its completely shit looks tranny seal has a god tier typing and at the very least will be high tier UU.

I wanted an Arceus that wasn't banned, but it was a disappointment. How come Multitype works with Z-Crystals, but RKS System doesn't?

Oh well. At least it will be good in UU. And it might just be a move tutor or two away from being viable in OU.
>>
>>30503726
They're good pokemon in their own right, but they won't survive in OU, hence no analyses.

Ingame doesn't compare. Silvally lacks specialization and it doesn't have the bst or move pool to be spread like arceus. Some people thought it would be a mini arceus for OU, but the move pool hurts it, and your biggest stat being 95 sucks, even if it's also your lowest.

Yeah

If it had 110 in all stats then it would just rot in Ubers as a worse Arceus. No thanks.

Why do so many people bemoan that a pokemon they like is UU when UU has a significantly better community, mostly free of the shithead 13 year olds, timerstalling faggots and rage quitters that plague OU and Ubers?

Getting to dodge most of the cancermons is just a bonus
>>
>>30506872
Is it worth giving it a Z Crystal?
>>
I understand that smogon is respected but I never got their ranking tier. If I participate in a real pokemon tournament, is it like I will only be able to use some pokemon outta OU or something?
I mean It's like the first tier is UBER- ok (overly powerful), I get it. What about the others (overly used)- how do you compare that to first, jesus.
>>
>>30506934
It has the same stats but more versatility. In comp obviously you can't counterpick your memory, but narratively, silvally could be adjusted to take on any ultra beast 1v1.
>>
>>30506953
It's from the same thread that was posted earlier.
>>
>>30507020
Also the fact that dragon typing gets a few massive damage STAB moves that pretty much every dragon can learn.
>>
>>30506996
I should have clarified, I was talking about UU. OU has too many sweepers with HP notably higher than 307 even without EV investment for it to reliably kill shit.

Though if recoil moves become popular on more of the OU sweepers or they trend towards the sort that are weak to sneaky pebbles the number of mons it can reliably blow up will probably be respectable in OU as well.
>>
>>30507086
Because most people don't actually play on Showdown and a mon being UU means they won't ever get the chance to use it as there are no tiers in VGC/Battle Spot.
>>
>>30507129
>Dragon Claw
>massive damage
>>
>>30507106
And yeah, I essentially got a little bit pissed off after playing competitive with some ''mates'' from a nintendo normiebook page.
Every single pokemon and their stat/nature/attackset/item is done like in smogon. I always used a mixed team of pokemon I like (some uber, some NU), and ended up losing 7 out of 10 times.
Hate how multiplayer gaming today became this spartan I PLAY FOR COMPETITIVE TO WIN.
>>
>>30507020
You've been spoiled by faries.

"Double dragon" was a thing for a reason pre-gen6. Deccent defensively and mostly unresisted STAB (bar steel types). Outrage and Draco Meteor are also a thing.
>>
>>30507106
Depends on what tier you play. If you do a OU tournament, you can use every pokemon that's OU and below. If you do a UU tournament, you can use every pokemon UU and below. So on.
>>
The Grass/Ghosts will probably end up getting analyses eventually, even if they aren't actually in OU. (which they probably won't be) Same with something like Guzzlord. Just look at the ORAS UU Pokemon that have OU analyses.
>>
>>30507098
Dunno if you're joking or not, but it learns literally no attacks to use a crystal with offensively.
>>
>>30507106
Uber is the ban tier for OU. Anything else is based on usage. Stuff which isn't used enough in OU ends up in UU, stuff which isn't used enough in UU ends up in RU and so on. Every tier also has its own ban tier for things the community consider "over-centralizing".
>>
That's it I'm now a #UUmissile.

Who /uu/ here?
>>
>>30507205
>complaining that you lose after you use a suboptimal team
kek
>>
>>30507106
The point of the tiers is to give you a fair matchup. If all your pokemon are UU, on battle spot and vgc and whatnot youd get blown up, but the idea with smogons ruleset is you would only battle UU teams, and it would be fairer.

If your team is completely spread out, yes, you'll get fucked. You're going to be battling OU teams if even one of your pokemon is OU.
>>
>>30507225
And what sort of relevance "pre-gen 6 mechanics" have anymore?
>>
>>30507281
There are no official UU pokemon yet. Everything is OU, and they will be until the usage statistics are released. This list is simply for things that Smogon feels has the most potential, but we can't know until the stats, and they know that too.
>>
>>30507281
>tfw half these mons aren't even going to be UU
>>
>>30507106
It's usage-based except for Ubers, which is a ban list.
>>
>>30507298
Which is also the reason hardcore karenfags won't ever get over Smogon's tiering system.
>>
>>30507298
I like this idea but I wish there was a way to create user custom leagues in-game, so I didn't have to use a fucking simulator to play.

It feels sad that I put $40+ on the game and then play it for 80~ hours to get the regional dex done and then there's literally no reason to not play on Showdown anymore.
And before you go "most $60 games last 10 times less than that", keep in mind I used to cap my playtime clock at 999 in gen 4, because the online competitive scene felt a lot more alive before everyone moved to Showdown.
>>
>>30507298
Yeah I get it now, thanks. But does any official nintendo tournament follow these rules, or are they like fan set rules?
Because in that case I dont get it how so many legendary pokemon were used in the hoenn championship.>>30507286
I did not complain that I lost, I get it why I lost.
If I put up a team of 6 arceuses, you would need a lot of skill to wipe me, thats the issue. There are literally 20-30 pokes of the 720 (ok, less) that are used.
Never seen a regular charizard, typhlosion, or dragonite being used because of the mentality and the retarded megastones.

You play to win though still, right?

Everyone has different ways of approaching that, you wanna be able to say "yay my *insert shitmon* pulled me a win" and You're free to handicap yourself if that's what you enjoy. But some people wanna enjoy the gameplay/mechanics while also having a reasonable chance of winning.

Nothing wrong with either.

I personally enjoy building around a strategy rather than specific mons, if they happen to include my bros that's great. And I've found a few of my favourite 'mon through pulling off cool shit in competitive with them.
>>
>>30507169
This is something I've never understood, people with the problem you're describing go on to bitch at Smogon for ALLOWING them to use their shitmons in a lowertier instead of bitching at Gamefreak for designing so many underwhelming mons in the same Gen as Tapus and UBs.

You mean in the reccent world championship?

They use a new set of rules each year, this year you were allowed 2 legendaries per team I believe.
The upcoming one is Z-move legal, Alola pokes only, no legends and no megas.

Smogon is a fan ruleset used to attempt to create a "perfect metagame" in which all pokemon have a place, hence OU, UU, ect.

Smogon's is a fan made ruleset. It is only enforced in any way and tracked on simulators. Battles following smogon's rules on cartridge are agreed upon by the players for fun/fairness.

Im like ok, why dont you use it in our friendly battles, if my pokemon arent even bred?
That's what I mean, I would understand people shifting between competition and fun, I do the same- when I play tournaments I only use th ebest bred gladiators I have, but when I am playing a casual game with a friend, the most fun moments we have is when my non bred blaziken gets his pokes burnt everytime by luck...
Otherwise its like ok, I see his pokemon, I am 100 percent sure what attacks and stats and items it has :/

>>30508408
To be considered you need at least one of the following:

>>30508465
I run a typhlosion and leafeon on cartridge for friendlies, so I get ya.
He's probably more balanced towards just winning for fun as opposed to how he wins and that's just a trait some people have. Annoying, but you chose your friends, my dude. Or maybe he's a perfectionist and would still need to breed a perfect infernape but can't be arsed. My typhlosion and leafeon are perfect and they're shitmons but playing without perfect/near perfect bothers me.

Spikes was added before Doubles was a thing. Toxic Spikes and SR were added in the same generation where Doubles actually became the official format, IIRC. Don't ask me why they added Sticky Web, probably to give a hand to a couple shitmons.

Point is they certainly don't care enough at this point to bother nerfing any hazard. Confusion (and Swagger by extension), T-Wave, Dark Void, Gengar, and Mega Mom have all had a far greater impact on 4v4 Doubles than Stealth Rock ever has, and, without some disgusting buffs, ever will.

SR was probably something GF came up with early into DP's development before they decided to make doubles their main competitive format and just left it in because why not.

>>
>>30509630
Why is doubles the official format anyway when the main game has always been about singles?
>>
>>30510114
Because, as Smogon has repeatedly demonstrated, it is FAR easier for something to be absolutely busted in Singles than in Doubles. And you don't get shit like Funbro in Doubles either; the real REAL reason why VGC is Doubles is because of some chucklehead cheesing tournaments in Gen III with Wobbuffet to force Struggle wars.

That's ALSO why Struggle began dealing 25% of the user's maximum HP in recoil damage instead of just 25% of the damage dealt in Gen IV. Shadow Tag Wobbuffet literally ruined everything.
>>
>>30510114
3v3 singles are boring. 6v6 singles are very hard to balance and turn really shitty when it isn't. 4v4 doubles easily balances itself by virtue of the format itself and makes for short (important for official tournaments) yet exciting and not shallow battles.
>>
>>30510114
I'll simply add to the other reasons that doubles are actually interesting to watch and achieving "perfect play" isn't as stupidly easy as in singles. I'm not a fan of the banlists that the VGC has been rolling with the last couple years though. I think they need to be a bit more restrictive.

The guy who pioneared the BP chain team fought against a team that was tailored made to specificall counter BP chain teams. He still ended up winning because he could easily outstall the """Anti-BP Team"""

Honestly the games should have followed Colosseum's and XD's lead by making doubles the default. It's so much more fun than singles.

I wish HAL was in charge of the mainseries. IT's obvious they could do a better job than Gamefreak could.

non of them are worthy of OU
that's a fact that should be accepted already

maybe pyukumuku might find a niche but the rest is garbage for ou standards


don't forget they aren't the only cucked ones
half of gen 6 ou or so will drop to uu and so on

unpexpected drops will be broken in uu instead

If you want a powerful Special Attacking Water/Fairy-type that can actually burn shit with Scald, Primarina is the only option.
Also,

>>
>>30504236
The fact that Alolan-Exeggutor is getting one probably means they are picking Pokemon at random right. It's the only way to explain this shit.

Good. Then it's going to tear up UU and we can watch the Smogon dipshits cry as they suspect test it and toss it into OU where it belongs later on.

>>
>>30505061

I still can't believe smogon hasn't been smart enough to figure out Golisopod's ability is actually a huge plus and not a negative. If you use it right you get a free pivot switch in to anything in the game without having to sacrifice a pokemon or any momentum, just as long as Golisopod takes enough damage to activate its ability.

But no, every time I hear about it it's "lol emergency exit" as if there aren't ways around it or ways to use it to your advantage

Tapu Fini has the same typing and it's infinitely better than trannyseal. There is no reason at all to use him over Tapu Fini outside of slightly stronger Pokemon.
>>
>>30504113

Why is Zygarde 10% being considered when power construct is banned?
>>
>>30504457
I think the combination of Intimidate, dark STAB, and a slow U-Turn will be enough to carve him a niche, but we'll have to wait and see.

Waifufags need to die.

>>30514507
it's like darmanitan doesn't exist, like victini
also what will it do in a tier where hippo and even politoed will be used with other tons of defensive mons and better alternatives in general that don't require a fire type
>>
>>30506390
>at the very least will be high tier UU.
No, comfy, sorry but it won't. Most of its usage will be simply to have a way to deal with Hydreigon who is a massive threat in UU. Eventually Hydreigon users will find a way around it and Primarina will drop to RU.
Typing isn't everything.
>>
>>30503934
Salazzle's gimmick is her ability - so it can set up Toxic on bulky-steels or Mega Venasaur. Outseide of that, it's another frail sweeper.
>>
>>30514484
It can have aura break.
>>
>>30514693

I'm aware but its stats seem lackluster in OU without the ability to go mecha.
>>
>>30514648
t. mad owl/catcuck.
>>
>>30514609
also Entei
>>
>>30514609
Slow u turn is played differently, all of those are above average in speed and lack the ability to pivot both ways like luchalitten does.
>>
>>30514484
It's the fastest dragon dancer, has access to the best ground type move as well as Extremespeed.
>>
>>30514712
I see, I assumed the implication was "won't it just change into 100% forme". Fair enough.

In that case:
>fast, deccent att
>thousand arrows
>ground/dragon is a very good typing
>gets dragon dance, so it has potential there
>>
>>30514774
Nah actually a high elo UU player.
In what respects to me all of them are equally trash :^)
>>
>>30508216
What can Primarina do that Tapu Fini can't, outside of burning with scald?
>Fini can tank hits significantly better
>Can play support in multiple ways
>Hits hard enough to kill glass cannons and has moves like Nature's madness and taunt to deal with walls or tanks
>Can remove other Pokemon Tapu's terrain
>Can't be toxic stalled and can prevent teammates from being burned
Primarina just spams Hydropump and Moonblast
Same goes for Suicune and Sylveon in UU.
>>
>>30514785
Zygarde base speed is 95, if I recall base Salamence outspeeds. Not like scarf moxie Salamence is the best Salamence.
>>
>>30514776
victini can rely on mixed sets and a very wide offensive movepool for a fire type

darmanitan is the button man that needs no other use outside of punching holes in teams
could even use a meme z drum flame charge set
>>
>>30514825
Salamence is base 100, so it does outspeed Zygarde
>>
>>30514825
Zygarde 10% aka the dog form has 115 base speed only slower than Mega Mence who will comfortably enjoy another generation of being S tier in ubers.
>>
>>30514609
>>30514775
Darm and Victini can't pivot nearly as well as Luchalitten can, and Entei can't pivot at all. Also all of them lack a way to reliably counter Cresselia and Chandelure, both of which Lucha checks easily.
>>
>>30514873
>cresselia
>gen 7 uu
seriously, cresselia may end being garbage as in literal sitting duck even in gen 7 ru, not even kidding

chandelure will be the last of the uu problems, it will most likely end being uu only due to its eventual ban from ru
>>
>>30514850
Yes, but they lack the slow u turn and intimidate to ensure it against dome targets.

I love mixtini, stall tini and lo darmanitan as much as the next guy,but a slow u turn is a different niche altogether.
>>
>>30514850
>implying Victini won't spend yet another gen in the effective limbo known as BL
>>
>>30514866
I get zydoge is faster, but base zygarde isn't.

Zydoge is indeed the fastest non mega DD user.
>>
>>30508482
Then why isn't Incineroar considered? It's basically Emboar 2.0. I can understand the anchor and owl because you kind of need to right EVs to get that walling and killing going (and shit coverage), but what things can switch into a Base 115 Atk Flare Blitz?
>>
>>30515002
>but what things can switch into a Base 115 Atk Flare Blitz?

literally anything that resists.

Incineroar is easily the worst SM starter until it gets Intimidate.
>>
>>30514981
>victini surviving another power creep
i don't think so
>>
>>30515002
People are sleeping on it, just wait for intimidate and he will have a real niche.

Incineroar bulk is relatively impressive if you speed creep past base 71 and dump the rest on physical bulk, add in burn, intimidate and slow u turn and you got yourself a real threat to bring in a wincon safely.
>>
>>30503856
She is still shit. They only picked the current list of Pokémon for OU analysis do to them either
>Hitting hard
>Being Sanic fast
>Or doing Anal
Primarina is just a one trick pony since all it can do is hit really hard.
>>
>>30513953
>50% chance to inflict poison with poison jab
>30% chance to poison with pursuit, KNOCK OFF, shadow sneak, and other contact moves
>worse than an anti crit ability on a mon with mediocre bulk and no recovery
ok
>>
>>30514712
They are. All Pokemon on the list are based on>>30508482
This should make the list more sensible.

Bulky as fuck, hits hard too, nice coverage. It actually has perfect STAB coverage outside of spooks..
>>Minior
Best Shell Smash user in the game, which isn't saying much but there you go. Shields Up forme is also immune to status so that's cool.
>>Necrozma
Weird movepool. Weird stats. Useful ability. I've seen Stored Power strats being tossed around, and it gets all sorts of boosting options even outside of those tactics.
>>Pheromosa (implies not getting banned any time soon)
They're on drugs. It's the only explanation.

Tapu Fini will be OU probably dumbass. That why I said Prim will be high UU. Learn to read.

Alolan Raichu is the only one I think should at least be considered for OU off that list. Strange it isn't even being considered.
