How does a mon upgrade from uu to ou? Is it also an usage threshold? If so, with that many mons on the tier, wont it be really hard to do so?
Yes. the teirs are usage based. If a Pokémon is used enough in a teir, it stays in that teir. If it’s isn’t used enough it drops down to the next teir below. If a pokemon is too good in a teir but doesn’t receive enough usage to go up to the trot above it is BL. (Something to good for UU but not used enough in OU is UUBL).
Note: Ubers is technically OUBL.
Smogon defines it exactly as >While all non-Uber Pokémon can be used in OU, only those Pokémon that make up at least ~4.52% of total weighted usage in the tier are designated OU. A Pokémon is truly OU if a typical competitive player is more than 50% likely to encounter that Pokémon at least once in a given day of playing (15 battles).
dunno about you, but having a button that doubles your health, while transforming your moves into Z-moves (with an added bonus) sounds extremely fricking broken to me

The scars of dynamax still weight heavily for me, it was the first time I had to take a full break from Pokemon because of how bad it got
We aren't in a better place though, I'll concede that but I'm quite stubborn on the idea of taking another break

Smogon should deal with the fact that Gamefreak stopped giving a frick about singles after gen 6. Nowadays it gives 0 fricks things like gambit, gholdengo and the pardox forms will never be balanced for singles. They are so strong that having them on your team is the equivalent of having 3-4 megas.

Seems like a skill issue to me if you can't predict simple shit like dark becoming ghost/flying/fairy when against a fighting type or pokemon that usually runs fighting coverage.
They also unbanned Quaquaval, Iron Hands, Hisuian Lilligant, and Ceruledge
Seeing Garchomp and Heatran drop to UU just feels wrong.
I feel like the gays running this shit need to redo this because UU is gonna be unplayable
Garchomp has been barely holding onto OU for the past 2 gens.
OU is donimated almost exclusively by Gen 9 pokémon
That's just power creep. UU today is stronger than Gen 4 OU
Just play NU
The tiers just need new names. There are like 3 tiers below """never"""" used.

why should I care
You posted, therefore you care
Otherwise you'd have just ignored the thread

yeah, about posting, not about the fanfic format you keep trying to shill

Its only based on usage, thats what UU and OU stand for.
t. 1500 elo
It's usage, yet
Unless a mon is too OP for the rest of the tier and gets banned to UUBL
Yes. the teirs are usage based. If a Pokémon is used enough in a teir, it stays in that teir. If it’s isn’t used enough it drops down to the next teir below.

gen 9 makes gen 8 look balanced
Gen 8 was balanced, whats your gripe?
Dynamax mostly
>lasts 3 turns
How did GameFreak managed to cause massive triggers all over the world over it.
dunno about you, but having a button that doubles your health, while transforming your moves into Z-moves (with an added bonus) sounds extremely fricking broken to me
3 turns is broken?
They always felt strong, yes, but very balanced.
3 turns is all you need and the stat boosts remain
3 turns of abrsudly high BP moves that also increase your stats is absolutely all you need

“Lasting 3 turns” when each team only has 6 Pokemon max and can raise stats, summon weather, or summon terrain.
Gen9 meta is more balanced than 8 (or 5), yet also much more powercrept than those two.
I still hate Garganacl bros. And Dondozo.
What mons are even good against Garg I run into it way too often.
Garchompbros... Not like this.. We used to be uber back in the day...
Celebi sends its regards
Meowbros.....this was supposed to be our Gen....
Shit Waifu cat
Mauled to death by a Flying Kingambit, unfortunately.
Will Genesect finally be OU in Gen 10?
For about 15 minutes.
They just refuse to let my favorite SFMA thrive...
I'm surprised Ceruledge was unbanned. Poltergeist does a ton of damage and there's not a lot of paradox mons in UU to make it a dead move.
>Heatran dropped at 4.4% usage
Why the frick is the cutoff so high now? It used to be 3.4%.
>she doesnt know
Yea, I looked it up. It's 4.52%. Why is it so high now?
please bring Politoed back to RU, my shitmon team can't handle rotom wash
