when your favorite is only viable in PU
NU is the new UU so that's a valid claim
they really need to rebrand the tier names

>>32227816
Isn't VGC the official format though?
NU is objectively the best tier.
Btw we're getting NU alpha this month right?
>>32227312
It's only a matter of time before OU becomes the new nu with the rate the power creep is happening unless GF rebalances shit.
...and garchomp will still be forever unmoved
>>32228024
Garchomp would remain an OU staple unless Ice type hazards become a thing
>>32225318
NU is a bit of a stretch, sure. But having tiers allows a wide range of mons to see use in a reasonably competitive environment. What's the issue with taking say UU shitmons seriously with respect to UU?
I'd suggest trying to force "bros" into OU is the real cringe.

>it's good once you set up!
>>32228053
They'd probably ban the ice type hazard first.

>They'd probably ban the ice type hazard first
This, and it hurts so much.
Ice type hazards, if reasonable (i.e. no stacking, not exactly Stealth Rock), could salvage some of those slow bulky ices GF loves so much, but condemns to shit-tier with their stats.

Mega Salamence is not even THAT popular now.
>>32229706
I was just using it as an example. Replace it with Scarfchomp or whatever is currently popular in Battlespot.
