>UU is suspecting Conkeldurr. Despite its low Speed, Conkeldurr is a behemoth, with decent bulk and an incredible Attack further boosted by Guts Flame Orb. With few viable Ghost-type Pokemon in the tier, Conkeldurr is free to spam the incredibly potent duo of Drain Punch and Facade, which at worst 2HKO the vast majority of the tier. Those few Pokemon that might consider switching into these attacks almost universally fear Knock Off, and with powerful priority to mitigate its poor Speed and the ability to run moves such as Bulk Up to further punch through bulky teams, Conkeldurr has managed to surpass such threats as Primarina and Xurkitree to become the premier wallbreaker in UU.

He was fine in UU last gen. Was the burn nerf (and thus Flame Orb buff) really all it took to push him over the edge?

Glad to see Conkeldurr is still pulling his weight. Truly the new Machamp

sorry Machamp, you're still my number 1 but Conkeldurr is repping the fighting types from here on

Alright real talk I'm legitimately pissed off though. Machamp was having higher usage with the likes of Pangoro and he shared UU with Heracross and Chesnaught towards the end of Gen 6. How are they at least RU and Machamp is now NU? Surely it's not just confusion nerf? WTF does GF really want to do with Machamp anyway? They always feature and make him poster boy but they do him so dirty competitively

>>
>>33054308
The fuck happened? It was absolutely fine even bordering on RU not too long ago. It was fine last gen to boot. Was clefable holding it back that much?
>>
>>33056467
Clefable can't switch into a poison jab + bullet punch from guts conk, but it don't matter anymore now it is OU again. In any case, clefable being out of the way surely did help conk in UU I guess, and then there's the flame orb buff + drain punch combo, knock off to fuckup things that think they can take a drain punch, etc.

I personally thought mega pidgeot would cause it to drop to the depths of the tier but then again pidgeot can't really switch into conk too many times, specially if rocks are up. I can't think of a single UU mon that is completely safe from conkeldurr. Maybe gliscor if no ice punch? Buzzwole? was buzzwole banned from UU last week? I can't remember if that actually happened
>>
>>33056467
In ORAS it's best set was Guts Assault Vest which was good, but not amazing because of the low BP moves.
In SM the burn nerf caused Guts Flame Orb to become the best set and it packs much more power thanks to Facade. The only things holding Conkeldurr back were Clefairy and Buzzwole and now both are gone from UU.
I'm gonna put some calcs to show how dangerous it is:
>252+ Atk Guts Conkeldurr Drain Punch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Florges: 97-115 (26.9 - 31.9%) -- 45.6% chance to 4HKO
>252+ Atk Guts Conkeldurr Facade (140 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Florges: 243-286 (67.5 - 79.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
>0 SpA Florges Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Conkeldurr: 320-378 (77.2 - 91.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after burn damage
This means a fully physical defensive Florges(the most common one) is not counter. And of course Ghost are also not a switch-in because of Knock Off
>>
>>33054308
>burn nerf

Can I get a quick rundown?
>>
>>33056706
Burn inflicts 6% of damage every turn instead of 12% like it used to.

Did you not play Sun/Moon?
>>
>>33056706
6% damage instead of 12
>>
>>33056706
Flame Orb/Burn only does 6.25% in gen 7 instead of 12.5% like in gen 6
>>
>>33056711
>Did you not play Sun/Moon?
Honestly since I have been clearing backlog and the base game was so disappointing I was reluctant to get into competitive this last month I have been looking to get into.

Conk gets Mach Punch, not Bullet Punch. And unless your running Sheer Force, Guts boosted Facade is better to deal with Fairies than SE P-Jab as its only 20 BP weaker.

will he win next year as well?

You know, this is actually kind of true. I'm even more surprised that buzzwole got banned from UU before megasharp (specially considering it cannot switch into a psychic fangs set).

Maybe it's just me being too lazy to deal with them, but I'd like megasharp, megapidgeot and conk gone.

Because the top OU brass like having their broken shit OU, since that's what they use to keep their ratings, and thus their credibility as players, artificially high. This especially goes for Stall, but also applies to broken shit like le lion of healthy meta and Robot Whore.

That's why they arrange their """"""""""""""""tournaments"""""""""""""""""" at the most convenient times to dodge the responsibility of keeping the meta playable. There's another circlejerk """"""""tournament""""""""" coming up just after this one, despite popular demand for lots of suspect tests. I wonder why that could be... Hmmm....
>>
>>33061388
hope the mole of cancer gets the boot this time.
>>
>>33061427
Of course it won't. Not having a crucial component of what keeps stall broken would take away the top Smogonfags' artifically inflated credibility they get by cheesing people in 200 turns.

Another broken set that the OU """""""top""""""" player circlejerk like to cheese people with.

Without their precious busted-ass mons, people would see them for the washed-up shitty players that they are. They'd lose status in the circlejerk that determines whether they're part of the "elite" rather than any sort of skill.

But seriously it was a miracle they banned Marshadow in two days. I thought they would bullshit around and suspect Dugtrio again (but they're probably waiting for tutors before doing that)

On one hand, Dark/Rock/Ice types are more common and Sylveon, Cress, Doublade and Chesnaught aren't relevant anymore. On the other hand, Conk's actually ranked higher in ORAS than in S/M.
