I'm only gonna comment on the noms I don't quite agree with. Hera to A+: I think that's a bit of a stretch. Florges being so popular in the tier is a huge thorn in hera's side and its only reliable way of getting past it is to use Facade when statused. Its speed is not really good either and it has no usable priority, meaning it struggles to have a strong impact vs an offensive build. Its defensive utility is also fairly limited so it's not exactly easy to bring in. I'd keep it in A-. Snorlax to A: I honestly think that's a bit high simply because Cobalion is freaking everywhere which is a huge pain for lax to deal with. UU has no shortage of fightning types and that's not really good for lax. Mega Blastoise to A: I'd actually drop it to A-, mostly because it's a really shitty fire check unless you invest heavily in its bulk, at which point it loses a lot of its wallbreaking potential. Florges being evrywhere doesn't help it either. Porygon-Z to B-: Sure there's a lot of other strong special attackers, but very few of them have a chance at scoring a 2hko on Florges without setting up when given choice specs. Normal stab is pretty spammable, too. Easy to use, very deadly vs a ton of stuff, I think it should be at least B based on the sheer power of Tri Attack. Stoutland to B+ or A-: I think thats a bit too high considering how dependant of sand Stoutland is. There's basically no reason to ever use it if you're not running some Sand Stream mon, and even if you do, Stoutland isn't going to demolish whole teams on its own. I think B is a better fit. Rotom-H rising: Rotom-H and Manectric weren't really competing for any niche to begin with. Mane leaving the tier doesn't change much for Rotom.
Removed Heracross as it is no longer UU. Nominating Diancie for something like B or maybe B+, Decent fire check with access to SR that is also immune to dragon, even learns heal bell to support its team. Discuss imo
Yeah Diancie is a nice support mon, counters non Flash Cannon/Iron Tail Hydreigon, counters to an extant Entei with Rest Talk Cm set, Heal Bell, SR, Trick Room sometimes, it has a good movepool to work efficiently in UU. B+ seems legit to me.
that's what I thought bc it's OU on smog but it's not on the OU list on the gen 6 tiers thread. prolly should be fixed. Edna: fixed
Hey guys! Just dropping by to say that I appreciate the people who play this tier, since they've realized the potential Mega Camerupt holds with its spectacular base Special Attack and Sheer Force-boosted moves, and have therefore decided to give it a place in the viability rankings! I just wish Smogon UU would follow suit...
