Would be fun to see a showdown player finally live up to the hype and do ok in psl instead of always choking on a fat uguu after having them and their friends massively overhype them. But I doubt it will be any different this time
yep, definitely

I don't think my daddy plays pokemon, and my grandfather seems a bit dead. Can't imagine either of them making for very hype psl matches but we will see I guess
You're right in something, games aren't very hype, not because of him but because of the people he might face :(

Garchomp S -> A+ or A
SpoilerNot near as good as togekiss. It doesn't even fit well on the set up spam teams everyone spams; makes these teams weaker to the stuff they are already weak to and doesn't make them beat stuff they already beat. Still it's the fastest dragon type so deserves a high rank, to me it's A but A+ would be reasonable as well.
Metagross A -> A+
SpoilerBest steel type by far. Really splashable, fits in any kind of team with many valid sets.
Salamence and Hydreigon A -> A-
SpoilerThey should be 1 tier lower than garchomp and kingdra, since they are not as good and get as much usage.
Gengar A- -> B+ or B
SpoilerSame tier or 1 tier lower than chandelure is reasonable. Doesn't get as much usage, dies to anything and not that threatening if it doesn't set up. Useless vs many common teams.
Conkeldurr A- -> B+
SpoilerGood mon but you have to have a good reason to not to use hitmontop or hariyama instead. Imo only fits on semiroom teams and still I'd might consider to use hariyama instead
Gyarados A- -> B
SpoilerThis mon is just not good enough to be A-. There are many other good stuff you could use for your water type slot.
Volcarona A- -> B+
SpoilerIn theory good mon. In practice loses vs any common playstyle
Milotic B+ -> B-
SpoilerGood mon if your goal is sitting on the field doing nothing and putting 0 pressure on your opponent's team. Again, many other good stuff could take this water type slot.
Hariyama B -> B+
SpoilerThis is almost a staple on tr teams. Fake out, feint and being insanely powerful should be enough for a rise
Cofagrigus B -> C
SpoilerWhy would you ever run this, why is it this high
Abosmasnow B -> B+
SpoilerPretty good mon to clean games and really powerful if it gets a good mu. Both scarf and life orb set are really valid. Great rain check.
Jellicent B -> B+ or A-
SpoilerOffensive water spout set is great on full tr teams. Defensive set fits pretty well on semiroom teams and checks common stuff like fighting types, garchomp or metagross.
Mienshao C -> B-
SpoilerIt's decent ig because of the new inner focus mechanics. Still you have to have a good reason not to use hitmontop instead.
Still I don't get the reason to rank most of the mons in tier C or D since 95% of the players would never use them. Like, for example look at tier D description: "Reserved for pokemon which only carry out a very limited function and are easily outclassed by other Pokemon in higher rankings" . Why would you rank mons that are "easily outclassed"? This basically means "don't use this". Why would you rank mons that you shouldn't use I don't get it.
Also no offense but agreeing on every nom that's posted on here might not be the right move. I'd support a VR council or something to make a voting between them for the nominations and see if they agree or not with the changes.

I noticed an issue regarding the move Roar:
How it currently is.
Roar is blocked by the move Protect, making the targeted pokemon staying in on the field
How it should be.
From gen 6 and onwards Roar is not blocked by the moves Protect, Detect or similar moves, making the targeted pokemon leave the field even if it protected that turn.
I haven't tested this with whirlwind but it should work just the same. -
Hi, first time posting here. So like 1-2 weeks ago a friend told me about this metagame and since I'm always excited to try out new doubles metagames and this one seemed interesting I've been practicing and quite enjoying it.
Since I couldn't find a viability ranking, I made my own one based on the experience I have playing BW doubles metagames and the few practice games I could play which I will submit later on the post.
First of all I'd like to suggest a ranking system based on numbers instead of letters. The main reason is because these kind of letters VR are usually a mess and many bad and almost unviable stuff would end up ranked. A rank system based on numbers would make the VR easier to maintain and would make it look cleaner.
This is the VR I came up with:

It is following a number ranking system and pokemon on the same tier don't follow any order.Great to see this thread was started!
I love VGC ♥
