It's not bad, but there's still room for improvement.

Average of 7 out of 10
Pretty much the same as before, even if it's correct it's still not perfect

It's huge Flutter seems to be considered bad for the tier. His good typing, his very good stats which are well oriented for the tier, a talent that can allow him to boost his speed like a choice scarf are the likely causes of this rating.

A majority of people seem to find Hawlucha problematic for this tier, with a big atq and unburden he is extremely difficult to counter for teams without a hard counter. We'll take a look at these two cases and perhaps take some action on them.

Average of 3 out of 5
Access to good typing and bulk can make him a threat with Thunderclap like Kingambit can with Sucker Punch but unlike him he has less raw power and doesn't have a setup move like SD to help him so he doesn't seem to be an immediate problem.

Average of 2,642857142857143 out of 5
With a score like that, Pecharunt doesn't seem to be a problem, despite his excellent bulk and access to good moves like Malignant Chain and his Poison Puppeteer talent.

Average of 2,571428571428571 out of 5
Despite his ability to sweep a lot of teams if he has the right set, his score speaks for itself and he doesn't seem to be singled out as anything problematic at the moment.

Average of 3,142857142857143 out of 5
His excellent bulk and offensive typing, coupled with better atq or speed, make him a real threat to many teams with no tera to counter him. We'll be keeping an eye on him

Average of 3,428571428571429 out of 5
Because of its rating, it seems to be a nuisance to the community - its access to Speed Boost and Stored Power makes it very annoying and dangerous to play against, since it requires no skill other than clicking buttons without thinking. We'll be looking into the case of Espathra.

comments/suggestions/concerns :

Any unbans possible?

Not immediately

Unrestrict gliscor? maybe?

Probably never too toxic for the tier


Thank you for these answers and stay tuned - there may be other important posts like this one in the very near future. !

Espathra is what it is with a donation in def/spa and the support of grassy seed for example it was totally uncompetitive the use of Stored Power prevented it from being countered by pokemons with unaware what reduced even more the already limited number of answers which it had while not being able to be revenge kill by Weavile for example with Speed Boost offering to him a boost in speed has each turn and making the plays passive against him very dangerous.

Flutter Mane was the threat of the tier with his excellent double type and good stats that could be very easily boosted and so integrating him into a team was very easy. With his Energy Booster, his talent allowed him to outspeed the entire tier, including all Choice Scarf users. He made a lot of pokemons slow and almost useless. His access to CM made him very threatening, allowing him to use his great speed to boost himself with the help of moves like Substitute, Pain Split, Thunder Wave, Taunt or Wish, making him very difficult to predict and requiring a lot of anticipation to guess his set. All of which makes him highly problematic.

Hawlucha is the hyper-offence pokemon playing on the Grassy Terrain. With good speed, a very good bulk after the Grassy Seed boost giving it a def boost and with an atq donation of, for example, Rayquaza. He was simply unstoppable, his stabs were only lightly resisted and access to moves like Substitute, Encore or Taunt allowed him to get past his defensive responses. He could also use tera fire to avoid getting burnt and opted for very interesting resistances like Fairy and boosted his coverage options like Fire Punch. As Unburden boosted his speed by 2 after using his item, he was very difficult to revenge kill offensively, which explains his restrict.

Marill at +6 with Kyurem Black's attack was at 3964 attack I don't see what the problem is. More seriously, they're just not fun and they're a huge hindrance to teambuilding, they give careers to anyone who plays them without even having to think about it, even if it's true that you have to know that Aqua jet is a priority and that Belly Drum needs you to have more than 50% of your HP. Which is an extremely difficult skill to get. Marill also had other viable sets, such as the Choice Band, which made him instantly more menacing and didn't require any setup moves, or the Mystic Water set, which gave him a good boost on his Aqua Jet while giving him no disadvantages. Meditite was also very problematic with eviolite and screens, for example, he was very difficult to kill while having access to SD allowing him to boost himself without inconvenience by having a better Marill speed allowing him to be much more useful against Rotom-Wash for example.

​

With a donation in SPA it is an absolute monster it also gave careers to anyone playing it, alone it invalidated many pokémons weak to these STABs and always requiring a counter or several tera to counter it as Alomomola tera Dark which was played only for him. He mainly used Shadow Ball but could also be played Hex with Eternatus or Glimmora, giving him a 130bp spammable STAB, which was insane. All this without mentioning Dragapult's speed, which was only surpassed by Zacian-Crowned, Electrode-Hisui and fast choice scarfs, making him very difficult to revenge kill.
