Resource 1v1 Scarlet and Violet Viability Rankings

[XSTATIC COLD]

3rd vr post in a row, this time different, no new nominations... but here are my opinions, starting from biggest to smallest promotions, and then demotions.
Espathra: C+ --> B+/B. HOW IS THIS THE SAME TIER AS ELECTRODE HISUI????? electrode hisui is a good mon but espathra with the feather dance cm set and the protect sub petaya set, it because almost any non-dark mon that it's faster than.
Magnezone: B- --> B+ This thing beats top tier mons like iron valiant, rolls greninja (with wp), rolls non-av regidrago, volcanion, shifu-r, sylveon. and other top tier mons. Move this thing up a few tiers.
Glaceon: UR --> C-/D. Well, look at the post above.
Gallade: D --> C-/C. This mon has not reached it's place in meta, but with sharpness, it has some good damage output and good spdf to tank a few special mons.
Annihilape: B --> B+/A-. This is a good mon but people aren't using it correctly. somehow in same tier as enamorus and others.
Uxie: UR --> D. Look two posts above. come on..
Pawmot: UR --> C/C-. this is currently the best unranked mon. Great damage output and good stab with double shock and close combat.
Now demotions A --> B+. Great mon but not as great in gen 9 due to loss of popularity in some mons that this beats.
Meowscarada: A+ --> A/A-. Good mon but not one of the four best mons for sure.
Now mons that i believe should be unranked. there are way too many in D tier.
Basculegion-F. outclassed by the male version, unless you're running a special set. I might keep it at D, but im not sure...
Polteageist. what does it beat
toxtricity: seems interesting but not enough damage and i dont like it yeah ok
samurott-h: Can't really use torrent well unlike other starters. (just realized it had sharpness ok i never said that)
ok that's it bye

learn the meta, and put better rankings after, instead of saying magnezone beats valiant and drago.

 

[recti]

Glaceon: UR --> C-/D. Well, look at the post above.

uh owned by XSTATIC COLD
and you seriously think that i would beleve glaceon beats drago bro freeze dry does not ohko outrage does 60 freeze dry does 40 i think and you dont have enough speed to outspeed most dragos well atleast all non speed - nature drago.and uxie its not that good to be with eleki ik eleki isnt that great in sv but i think it can be c or c+ maybe tho

 

[glitched]

Pawmot: UR --> C/C-. this is currently the best unranked mon. Great damage output and good stab with double shock and close combat.

 

[UwUTheGreat]

To all the previous posts:
xsc: how doesn't it beat iron val, and yes it loses most of the time to drago. mb. also ik i need to learn the meta just stating some early opinions i have
arvinraj: once again, mb, loses to drago if they decide to outrage. also why would i use freeze dry instead of ice beam. But yes, using the weird mixed haban set outrage rolls.
bored_glitch: true, but pawmot does some stuff that... well idk but there's still multiple encore disables and trick disables on the vr, so why can't there be multiple electric fighting types!!!!!

well, all of you are right, but yeah ok cool bye hhhhhh

 

[delemon]

bored_glitch: true, but pawmot does some stuff that... well idk but there's still multiple encore disables and trick disables on the vr, so why can't there be multiple electric fighting types!!!!!

The encore disablers have different matchups due to abilities, stat distributions, and or typing. You have not given any reason to use pawmot over iron hands such as mus it might gain from speed or mach punch like corviknight. If you want it to be ranked give real reasons other than it doing a lot of damage from stabs as iron hands does exactly that.

 

[recti]

also why would i use freeze dry instead of ice beam. But yes, using the weird mixed haban set outrage rolls.

uhh sry but ice beam does 60 and 2nd wierd? That isn't a word to describe the mixed goat set am I right XSTATIC COLD ?

 

[XSTATIC COLD]

uhh sry but ice beam does 60 and 2nd wierd? That isn't a word to describe the mixed goat set am I right XSTATIC COLD ?

it s not a roll, lo regidrago or band beats it anyway.

 

[UwUTheGreat]

it s not a roll, lo regidrago or band beats it anyway.

nvm ur right, haban still wins if they go dragon energy into outrage
delemon, that was the first example i could think of, there's other examples on vr, also yes, that was a bad example and you are correct.

 

[XSTATIC COLD]

nvm ur right, haban still wins if they go dragon energy into outrage
delemon, that was the first example i could think of, there's other examples on vr, also yes, that was a bad example and you are correct.

at least you try to create new sets; even if it is weak. The glaceon set is not that bad, but the meta is so broken that it is not enough unfortunately.
i tried a simimar set with iron bundle but same, it s beaten by regidrago so i abandonned the idea.

 

[recti]

i want D -C/C+
its plain it s idea is to to outspeed which it does and ohko which it may not;/

[Marshme1to]

uhtheyre stuck eqing

if they are stuck eqing you don’t need Tera blast anyways

 

[recti]

if they are stuck eqing you don’t need Tera blast anyways

What if hyper beam pp runs out it's 8 btw

 

[UwUTheGreat]

What if hyper beam pp runs out it's 8 btw

hyper beam has 16 pp including recharge, and does 2x dmg. hyper beam for sure.
you just die after 1 hit of tera blast, beam can actually kill some stuff
also marshmelto is right if they are stuck eqing then they struggle to death

Regieleki @ Life Orb
Ability: Transistor
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute / Thunder
- Thunderbolt
- Magnet Rise
- Hyper Beam

After testing the magnet set I find that I lose some battles because Regieleki don't kill some oponents that can kill with Life orb maybe. In mosts cases using Thunder, in others Thunderbolt. So...I decide to use Life orb because Regieleki is frail anyway.
Even then, why should run this over choice specs?
Beating choice locked ground mons or earthquake locked mons like Iron Hands was the only important reason and you still beat Valiant with specs:

252 SpA Choice Specs Transistor Regieleki Thunderbolt vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Iron Valiant: 361-426 (102.8 - 121.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

But you really need Hyper beam / Terablast in order to win against this ground mons locked in ground move:

252 Atk Garchomp Struggle vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Regieleki: 95-112 (31.5 - 37.2%) -- 83.2% chance to 3HKO

Without normal coverage you lose to Struggle scarf chomp for example because 25% is less damage.

Other problem is if chomp spam outrage, tusk close combat....because they know magnet rise.....

So, I decide that runing Substitute can help to justify the set over specs because you now beat bulky Kingambit (metal burst, taunt, sucker and iron head for example, but you can lose if iron head when you sub) and Slaking (can lose to Specs thunder if 0 bulk). If you run Sub, now you can consider Petaya berry and you have the same power than Specs set has but spaming Sub. In this case you can achieve OHKOs like this:

252 SpA Life Orb Regieleki Hyper Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Meowscarada: 238-281 (81.2 - 95.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Choice Specs Regieleki Hyper Beam vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Meowscarada: 272-320 (92.8 - 109.2%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO
+1 252 SpA Regieleki Hyper Beam vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Meowscarada: 272-320 (92.8 - 109.2%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO


Another option is Modest nature because you really power. But you don't outpace Iron Valiant.
252+ SpA Choice Specs Regieleki Hyper Beam vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Meowscarada: 299-352 (102 - 120.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+1 252+ SpA Regieleki Hyper Beam vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Meowscarada: 299-352 (102 - 120.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Conclusion: Regieleki need power. If don't kill the oponent in 1 hit, probaly lose the battle.

From my experience with the mon, you really need the 1.5x boost. Its kinda just not the best mon rn but LO is a cool idea. I think Petaya would be the way to go so you can KO frail Meow and certain Tusks and stuff, especially since most of the time you can afford to sub down to petaya range anyways. Cool set though!

[Kin+ak (✧∇✧)]

I wanna express my opinion on the almost goat basculegion


Kind of a fish, more of a shark, but acts like a GOAT. Basculegion is this gen8 mon that was put somewhy in rank C-. Outrageous imo, So I would appreciate If it was a B tier mon. It is flawed, but fits the definition of B mons as "Solid Pokemon, but they don't shape the meta like S and A Rank. They have a defined role which is often applicable and usually quite valuable. These Pokemon always need some support to bring out the best in them."
In basculegion's case, its role is big boss breaker that kills some shit. 112 attack band adaptability you feel it. It can break So many mons in the High vr that you Don't feel like it's An eventual poke. Combined With a fighting -or Dragon type, It can beat up some things. Its bulk, attack and speed is enough to just blow up So much stuff up that the minimal support is needed, but a lot more for intimidating. A lot of the counters can be afraid of Other mons very good when couples With basc. Take An example: basculegion poses 100% of duels against iron hands and roaring moon, while sylveon has a good matchup against them, and while sylveon struggles With most fairy resistances, basculegion has a v good matchuo against most steels as they generally Don't have the weapons to kill It faster than It kills em, except sturdy/bulky specs magnezone, and It is itself countered by iron hands, another good ally of basculegion. Then there is THE question: what's the matchup vs iron val? Well, like a lot of good mons, It dépends on the set: see, An Encore disable val loses to phantom force while a sub one would very likely destroy you If you dared choose phantom force. let's talk about It, phantom force. While in 6/6 formats it's a quite bad/niche move, in 1/1 It is more a.highlight about the "IT BREAKS PROTECT" part. Not only It breaks protect, but it's a 90bp stab for basculegion. All free. Wave crash is the main stab, breaking through So much everything that you can't decently run a band set w/o It Then there's outrage. Well, Not only it's one of the powerfulest moves basc has, It helps the matchup against dragons such as wwake Or garchomp. when you might think that the third move is a hard choice, you'd be totally right! I used only Once aqua jet, and It was against some random lycandusk player. anw aqua jet is the option i chose cuz 4moves including a shitmove>3 moves. Now, I could tell you pikachu's the goat It has a positive matchup against All Normal flyin types! The most common of All! Well pikachu sucks because a lotta good mons kill It. So what's The matchup of basculegion agaisnt pokemon higher in VR?

A+ Rank
Cresselia
Manaphy
Ogerpon-Hearthflame
Regidrago
Spectrier
Sylveon

while Cress-manaph<phantom force, spectrier is a horse. While meeting spectrier, you'll understand The meaning of "horse-power". agaisnt It, be sure to have The backup bro waiting to play. ogerpon beats u but again, teammember support is tasty. regidrago may kill you iif Not mAX sPA specs. If So, rIP. sylveon is a spécial fact. You must use phantom force to be 100% sure hyper beam(If Not specs) won't ohko. Still Wave crash kills most sylveon sets.

A rank
Baxcalibur
Corviknight
Skeledirge
Ursaluna
Volcanion

Well The problem here is bax. again, An ally can efficiently take It down.
corviknight is mostly outsped and 2hkoed heavily which means that After iron def, It Still won't be enough to tank a second Wave crash
skeledirge sucks for obvious reasons, as well as ursaluna.
volcanion can't hit supereffectively and is outsped+heavily damaged by phantom force.

A- Rank
Azumarill
Darkrai
Landorus-Therian
Meowscarada
Ninetales-Alola
Volcarona
Walking Wake
Zapdos

These pokemon are more problematic, but luckily for basculegion, they are WAYYSS rarer. azumarill does dIE to multiple phantom force if bulky, and is okod if offensive. darkrai is dangerous, use ally, lando can kill but anyways dies to Wave crash if Not band. meow is a main danger, beware, ninetales alola has The bulky card, use phantom force to avoir recoil damages. Volc SUCKS against basc and wwake dies to outrage. zapdos kills if It uses a real move, luckily zapdos isn't real. basculegion has proven itself to me and the amount of stuff It annihilates is monstrous.
