If Lando-I needs to be banned (it doesn't), then so do the rest of these Pokemon.
>82.8%
Holy fuck. Ubers is dead.
But, OP, the problem isn't "that mon is used more than others", the problem is "the mon is used way more than other".
~20% or so is understandable, but ~30% is really starting to push it.
>>26810175
Ground type was a mistake
>>26810175
UU, NU and PU confirmed for most healthy metas
>>26810175
Flygon should stay RU. If anything Ayy lmao needs to go.
>>26810439
who ? I thought of Beheeyem but that shit's NU
>>26810468
Alomomola
It and Vaporeon need to swap tiers
>>26810478
oh yeah, I hated that thing when I played RU, Glalie with Freeze Dry can break through physically defensive ones, but specially defensive ones were a fucking pain, usually had to rely on Dark Pulse flinches from Specs Clawitzer
>>26810478
Vaporeon is fucking shit in UU yeah. People only use it because it's a typical Gen 1 favourite.
>>26810285
Ubers has always been centralized. Every Gen had some sort of a king that was two cuts above the rest.

If anything, having two super giants in P-don and Xerneas is more healthy, because you need more team variety to be able to beat both.

>Nobody notices OP called it Lando-I.
>>26810501
Vaporeon is pretty damn good if you know how to use it, and I'm speaking from experience.
>>26810478
>It and Vaporeon need to swap tiers
Why?
>>26810608
If you're not 1500 or more on the ladder you can fuck right off. Vaporeon is the only mon ranked D in the smogon UU viability ranking. It's literally the worst UU mons, there are some RU and NU Pokemon that are better in UU than Vaporeon.
>>26810628
>le ladder meme xD
You should fuck off.
>>26810645
I found the shitter.
>>26810608
Because Alomomola completely outclasses Vaporeon because of higher HP (which means its Wishes heal more) and Regenerator (meaning it doesn't need to rely on its own wishes for recovery)
>>26810608
>>26810664
EVERY bulky water in UU outclasses Vaporeon. It doesn't help that Suicune is one of the best mons in the tier and bulky Sylveon does wishpass better in every way conceivable.
>>26810645
It's the truth. Also, every idiot can beat other people with gimmicky Pokemon on the lower parts of the ladder.
You should wish for a drop because it might actually be good in RU if Alomomola is out of the way.
>>26810628
>>26810664
Crazy to think there was a time when Vaporeon was unquestionably OU and Alomomola was NU of all things. I can understand Vape dropping due to the weather change, but it's interesting that Mola got more viable despite its shitty defense.
>>26810737
Mola's physical defense is higher than Vaporeon's
Its Special Defense is lower, but its higher HP balances it out
>>26810175
>Mence in UU
Holy shit, what's up with that power creep?
>>26813500
Charizard X is a better Dragon Dancer
Scarf set gives Fairies free switch-ins, and the only move it has that can deal with them is Iron Tail, which has shit accuracy
>>26813500
To be fair, it IS the most powerful thing in that tier.
If it weren't banned already, it would sit with Staraptor and Palkia for being absolutely monstrous in a lower tier, but kinda shit in the higher one.
>>26810510
>If anything, having two super giants in P-don and Xerneas is more healthy, because you need more team variety to be able to beat both.
Or you just run Groudon like everyone else since it is weak to itself and resists Xerneas
>>26810175
>only 20%
Nah, Mesprit's fine.

>caring about the abortion trio enough to notice the mistake
FUCK OFF SMOGON, IT'S A GAME FOR CHILDREN
>>26815677
Football is game for children too.
>>26815735
Football is a sport, fuck off Smogon. Pokemon will never, ever be a sport.
>>26810175
It needs to be removed from the game first along with its two brothers
>>26810175
The only thing that keeps me playing Pokemon games is the comfort that tourneyfags will never, ever be catered to.
>>26815756
Well not with that attitude.
>>26810175
>being a blind Smogon drone
>>26810486
Jellisent is just a great counter to it. Especially if you can predict the switch to avoid toxic and then outspeed it w taunt. Jellicent /Bronzong may be the best defensive core in the tier.
>>26815791
>never, ever
>fairy happened
sure thing buckaroo
>>26816116
>Tourneyfags unironically think fairy was their doing
Fairy happened because girls like cute things you embarrassment.
>>26813645
>Palkia
I thought Reshiramand Deoxys-N, the most useless Uberwas the go-to for "shit in Ubers, devastatingly broken in OU".
>>26816139
>I have no idea what am I talking about: The post

>>26810175
Legendaries in general should be banned from VGC. Not because they're inherently OP or anything, but because they give blatant hackers an unfair advantage.
>>26816139
Game Freak literally stated they introduced Fairy because Dragon-types had too much of an advantage over other Pokemon
>>26810175
>using usage as your only argument
2016 and people are still doing this....
Fuck Lando, band primal groudon, literally better than mega fug
>>26816440
A) Game Freak blatantly lied and
B) That still wasn't Game Freak balancing the game to cater to tourneyfags.
>>26810510
>Run Sableye and Gothorita
>Outright rape P-don and taunt all Trick Room Gengar's to death
Why is it so easy to antimeta?
Why do you guys play by Smogon's rules instead of the far superior VGC?
>>26817783
youre just falseflagging for someone to post that cap of the vgc champs teams arent you
>>26817792
No. I think that if there were money on the line, the top teams in a Smogon tournament would end up looking really similar, too.
>>26816477
>"As of right now, the dragon type is at an advantage," Game Freak explained. "But nobody wants us to weaken the dragon type, of course. So we decided to come up with something that could really go up against the dragon type….we're hoping that by introducing it, we're going to restore balance, make it a more balanced game."
Eat shit
>>26817814
well yes of course, both metas have grossly oversaturated top tier threats. thats just the nature of a game like this. but why do you say vgc is "far superior" in a thread about high usage when it itself suffers from this even worse?
