I refuse to believe this isn’t “fake powercreep”.

Thanks. Now I’m scared of ZU.

Honestly, Game Freak needs to stop making moves like this. Sure, they’re less broken in the Battle Stadium/VGC metagames, but in 6v6 formats, they’re practically OHKO moves with 100% accuracy. Good riddance.

Can’t wait for a quickban tidal wave because there’s no way in the deepest pits of hell that this generation’s PU should resemble the previous generation’s RU.

And it was SO CLOSE to rising back to RU as well.

You know the tier shifts from the past few months have been ass when PU now strongly resembles the previous generation’s RU. Not even the previous generation’s already unfairly powercrept NU, but freaking RU!

Jirachi moved from UU to RU Feraligatr moved from RU to NU Bellibolt moved from NU to PU Cetitan moved from NU to PU Delphox moved from NU to PU Drednaw moved from NU to PU Emboar moved from NU to PU Flamigo moved from NU to PU Florges moved from NU to PU Gastrodon moved from NU to PU Gligar...

Froslass is UUBL in DPP but only has Snow Cloak, which was recently banned from OU. Does that mean Froslass is officially Uber?

Chomp goes from never dropping to UU for 5 generations straight to being used on more than half of all UU teams. It’s almost like Garchomp is required on all competitively viable UU teams.

Vaporeon in Gen 6 UU and Jolteon in Gen 7 RU.

Dhelmise was in the same boat as Starmie. NU by usage but good in both UU and RU. Hell, even generations before the infamous Dexit happened had Pokémon that were good in the tier above where they actually ended up, like Golurk in Gen 5 RU, Alomomola in Gen 6 UU, and Hariyama in Gen 7 RU.

This resembles the previous generation’s UU and I don’t even blame powercreep.

NU and ZU especially. This gen’s NU legit resembles the previous generation’s UU. I don’t even blame powercreep. I blame things like the January shifts, Pokémon that were unbanned from a tier in one month and dropping the tier below the next month, and just the fact that the tiering system is...

It’s official. The lower tiers are cooked.

I went into this expecting the lower tiers to get better after the trainwreck that was Terrakion in PU and Thundurus in NU. Hawlucha moved from UU to RUBL Iron Leaves moved from UU to RUBL Breloom moved from UU to RU Gengar moved from UU to RU Hippowdon moved from UU to RU Hydreigon moved from...

SV UU still says “no description for this format”.

Garganacl moved from OU to UUBL Alomomola moved from OU to UU Blaziken moved from OU to UU Blissey moved from OU to UU Deoxys-Defense moved from OU to UU Garchomp moved from OU to UU Greninja moved from OU to UU Iron Moth moved from OU to UU Latias moved from OU to UU Latios moved from OU to UU...

The chomp lives! Garchomp moved from UUBL to OU But on the other hand… Tauros-Paldea-Aqua moved from RU to NU Tauros moved from PU to ZU
