So yeah drops. Part of me wants :Rampardos: to be good or at least niche in the same way Crabominable is though the unfortunate manner is that for the most part Lycanroc-Midnight outclasses it. That being said that power is still undeniable and maybe some TR build might make use of it...

I wonder if someone here could build a Sticky Web team (doesn't matter whether the webber is Galv or Smeargle tbh either's fine) with Porygon-Z. I'm not sure if Specs is considered a viable set for it in the current meta, but if it is I'd prefer that.

| 43 | Altaria | 5.241% | | 44 | Coalossal | 5.194% | | 45 | Drifblim | 5.005% | | 46 | Heracross | 4.731% | These 4 being directly next to each other in usage is funny.

First impressions: :Primeape: :Venomoth: :Farigiraf: have the potential to be really stupid set-up mons. Latter two benefit from the fact our Steels are either uber passive or have bad SpD. Primeape looks to be the most manageable of these, and IMO if it does stay I imagine it'll be a key part...

Only thing I really want to ask is why Zapdos is struggling ATM. (While still having a niche ofc) Zapdos struggling in a meta where Rain is REALLY good does give me flashbacks to BW OU of all things so there's that.

:Veluza: :Samurott: :Avalugg-Hisui: :Pyroar: :Rotom-Fan: :Tauros-Paldea-Combat: https://pokepast.es/2fd0a1502a68e0d1 Trying to come up with a Waterspam team that isn't a rain variant is tricky, though immediately what came to mind was pairing Veluza with a Pokemon that can lure in many of its...

Am wondering about the placements of Araquanid, Cinccino (why its considered much better than Maushold), Swampert, and the two Thundurus (IE why is Incarnate better than Therian ATM when it was the opposite just a few months ago). Gengar on that note too, it was a C-rank mon in the DLC1 meta.

Looked at the recent VR, and I'm wondering why Kyurem-Black is considered much better than Kyurem-White. (Black is in mid B and White's in D tier) What's with the big discrepancy here?

It seems like Tyranitar is a lot better now than it was a few months ago (its in High tier viability when it was chilling in mid-C a few months ago). I was wondering why that is. Does seem like a good check to stuff like Ceruludge or Latios, but is there more to it than that? Also curious about...

On a side note, even though the drops will likely effect this, I wonder why Galarian Slowpoke is ranked higher than its Kantonian counterpart on the VR. Is the Electric and Grass weakness that crippling?

Implemented the above check. Analysis is ready to go!

I will have to say the loss of Toxic and Seismic Toss hurts Registeel a lot, but at the same time, Body Press off a pretty good Defense stat can be good enough I suppose. I do expect an RU range presence for this guy like for the past 2 gens, but it'll likely still have a solid niche there due...

I was thinking maybe you could also get away with Bulk Up + Trailblaze to do a "Double Dance" set of sorts. Some mons can pull this off in lower tiers, like the Tauros forms, though I'm not sure if E-Vire has enough bulk to ideally set up. Ofc in general, E-Vire is probably going to drop to the...
