daily reminder people thought Mimikyu was going to be a shitmon even after reading his ability
daily reminder that people thought the kangaskhan/salamence nerfs actually mattered
daily reminder that 3 generations later Garchomp is still top tier in almost every meta he's permitted in
daily reminder that people thought Xurkitree was good and it's in the same tier as PYUKUMUKU

Literally nobody thought that after stats and ability were revealed though.
>Primarina in B+
How does she keep doing it, /vp/?

Wait, so are the unranked pokemon just considered not even worth using in battlespot? Oh well, I already use some A rank mons and it's nice to know I'm not a complete idiot for using Primarina in a format that has other broken shit.

Good typing and super high special attack in a format that is more matchup based.
A lot of high tier UU mons are good in battlespot because of the matchup factor.

>>31713936
The rankings are new, they'll eventually add a C and D tier where a lot of mostly outclassed stuff with a very specific niche like Haxorus ends up.

Aqua Jet and Sparkling Aria going through subs also help a lot in Battle Spot actually, and Oceanic Operetta as a nuke is fantastic in 3vs3
>>31714018
aqua jet doesn't go through subs (yet)
unless they secretly released HAs when I wasn't looking
Where is Golisopod? Did he not make the cut?
>>31714035
I meant to say that both Aqua Jet and Sparkling Aria help a lot, not that both go through subs. You know, breaking sashes (you can 1v1 Salazzle, for example) and Mimikyu's disguise while also doing decent damage thanks to torrent sometimes

Emergency Exit fucked him over.

FUCKING GAME FREAK

>Emergency Exit fucked him over.
Really? Thats a damn shame, I mitigate it with Sitrus berry.
It was cool on Wimpod, but Golisopod deserved better.
>>31714090
Umbreon hasn't been good since gen 3.

>battlespot singles
literally worse than OU. who gives a shit about this format? Everyone you meet online or in person battles with 6. You earn nothing through this format. It's worse than battle tree, which gives rewards. This gives nothing!
>>31714140
It is the Nintendo sanctioned singles format.

>I don't play so it doesn't matter
Who gives a shit about your opinion?
Where is Cloyster? I'm only 1680s after 40-something postbank games on cart, and I have to tell you more than a few of those games have been gimmick lead-up like Memento Dugtrio into Cloyster. Yeah it's a lot worse than prebank, but it still.
Agree with most assessments, although I've never seen Charizard x, Blaziken or Kangaskhan. Also since something like 7-8/10 games are against japs, I don't think smogon estimates are truly representative, which is funny since the cart subforum links to the jap blogs where the big root careful Bulus and timid taunt smogonbirds are listed.

who gives a shit about yours? checkmate
>>31714131
shut the fuck up
>>31714181
It's listed in the pre-bank thread so it's probably just an accidental omission.
