OU the next gen.
It's funny because in the very early stages of UU I got in the top 20 using this thing
>>32589743
>>32589952
this is a board for pokemon not digimon
>>32590796
Tell that to landorus and garchomp
>>32590821
they should be removed too.
>yfw Gallade, Cinccino, and Slowbro are usable in NU.
I can't wait until the ladder drops, I'm gonna have a field day.
>>32589952
What set did you use?
>>32589743
necrozma reminds me of quag; not great in any tier, but has a niche in every one for being a good supportive fatass
>>32590961
I want to impregnate Cincinno
>>32591031
It was Max HP and Max Sp.Def, I used it to take a special hit and then Parting Shot to switch safely in a Wallbreaker or something that could setup.
It had Return and Thunderwave and maybe Explosion as the last move, but I'm not sure.

Would Necrozma have been better if it was Rock/Psychic or even pure Rock?
Alolan Persian NU...
Really????
1500+ OU with my team from Alolan Persian 2 months ago

>implying most players deviate from cookie cutter teams that everyone else use
Good on you though since I imagine most players you battled wasn't prepared for it.
>>32592854
still hurts but at least nobody can take away the fact that Machamp is a two-time VGC Senior Champion
>>32592863
>still hurts
Why? This doesn't mean Machamp is bad, it means it's not being used that much, but I guess having a tier filled shitmons would give off that impression.
Like Slowbro and many others, Machamp will probably be banned when NU enters beta, and if not, so be it, lower tiers tend to be the comfiest anyway.

>This doesn't mean Machamp is bad, it means it's not being used that much
You know I really would like to accept this statement as it is but tell me, why is a pokemon not being used that much?
>not good enough
>a better option exists
Really, this is just sugarcoating it, and while usage =/= viability, it sure still has some correlation
For comparison, Conkeldurr, with his better bulk, recovery and better offenses, is UU
Daily reminder that tiers are based on usage and being NU doesn't necessarily mean that the Pokemon is shit. It's just that with so many Pokemon running around in the SM metagame not everything can get high usage. There have always been NU Pokemon that are perfectly viable in the OU tier and there always will be.

>belly drum Slurpuff
why is this allowed
>>32592909
>why is a pokemon not being used that much?
New toy syndrome, actually being bad and having a strong counter that prevents it from functioning as intended (Greninja cucking Slowbro out of existence).
If Machamp doesn't get banned in NU beta, then I guess it really did fall from grace.
Also, both Machamp and Conk were UU last gen, even if they both play the same role, they do it differently, both of them have tools the other doesn't.
I legit have never seen this thing being used in a battle.
Poor Necrozma. I really like its design, too.
>>32593879
AV + Future Sight is really its only niche.
>>32594002
Don't listen to this guy. This is probably a contrarian Incineroar fag or some shit like that that is just buttmad that his mon has absolutely no use in competitive but just won't admit it.
How's mah lil nigga Primeape? I know he was good in NU back on Gen 5, but i don't know how viable he is these days.
>put some NU/RU mons in your team that can counter some of the OU bigs (they exist)
>OU kiddies not prepared
>????
>you're now rank 1
>>32593898
I'm looking forward for it's Psychic/Dragon alt form next game that would do it immense justice.
>>32594046
Kind of shit. Defiant is always nifty in both Smogon and Doubles meta. Good speed for a Scarf.
>>32590796
This is also a board for people over 18.
