  1. I'm pretty sure all 3 of them were in the tier when Shaymin was getting tested. The main change would be Ninetales and Entei imo. Edit: Shaymin was banned in July 2023. Mandibuzz was UU until January 2024. Bronzong was UU until October 2023. Salamence was UU until July 2023.
  2. I'll get back to you shortly. Thanks for your application.
  3. Like I said on discord, Quinn can be unbanned from Discord. People just need to block him when he abuses Match Ping and not go in my DM to cry about it.
  4. In what universe is Shell Turban (Slowking) not S tier??!?
  5. As spammable as Scared Fire might be, there are still too many Fire Resistant mons available in UU for Entei to be able to lock itself into Sacred Fire freely. There is a decent degree of prediction necessary when playing CB Entei. Locked mons become broken when they do not need to predict like we saw with Choice Spec Hydreigon Draco Meteor in OU that was able to break through steel types despite locking itself into Draco Meteor. Entei doesn't break through most water types with Sacred Fire alone. @Azphiel Entei is so pathetic that it can't even break through Corsola.
  6. Since I don't see it mentionned in the thread, I'm adding it here to make sure the potential managers know.
  7. So what? Milotic was OU, one year ago. Should we go out of our way to make it viable again? No. It doesn't matter if Excadrill Sand Rush was relevant now, 1 year ago, 10 years ago. Who cares? You are forced to run things, you would normally play anyways. I'm sorry that doesn't sound like unhealthy. There are plenty of arguments as to why Dugtrio should be banned. The argument that it makes stuff unhealthy like Volcarona and Togekiss (in the past) has never been weaker. If you want to argue that Dugtrio is unhealthy, you need to argue that there are numerous mons that would be very healthy for OU but are unviable to a significant degree because of Dugtrio. Tyranitar has not been shown to be healthy for OU or unviable in OU because of Dugtrio, so that would be an awful example. Excadrill Sand Rush is a good start. However, why is that mon healthy for OU exactly? Dugtrio might be one of the reasons why Excadrill Sand Rush is not viable, but Excadrill has way bigger problems than Dugtrio in the OU meta (Gliscor / Rotom-W). You would imo make a stronger case as to why Dugtrio is unhealthy by looking at mons like Tentacruel, Toxicroak, Empoleon, Ninetales, Nidoking, Nidoqueen or Raikou by explaining why such mons would be healthy for our meta, but can't be played for the most part because of Dugtrio. For instance, you could say: ''Amoongus is cancer, Rain teams are a plague, Volcarona is problematic, Tentacruel would help vs all these archetypes, but unfortunetly Tentacruel is meh in OU mainly because of Dugtrio. Tentacruel is also punished by mons like Ferrothorn, but since Tentacruel can be naturally paired with Magnezone, those weaknesses can be dealt with during teambuilding. However, since Magnezone is also weak to Dugtrio, there is simply no viable way to play Tentacruel competitively right now.'' This is just an example. I don't believe half of what I just said (Magnezone is not particularly healthy imo, I don't think Volcarona or Rain teams are problematic), but that's how you could show Dugtrio as unhealthy in PokeMMO by doing that with multiple mons relevant to multiple playstyles. No one cares what Smogon did. Their decisions (good or bad) mean nothing in PokeMMOs metas and certainly do not set any precedent we need to follow or recognize.
  8. You present these statements as facts when they are clearly not. Ttar remains very viable over 800s and in tournaments. Ttar is also played outside of stall teams, actually stall is most likely the playstyle that uses TTar the least. It's not because Dugtrio can ruin Magcargo that Magcargo is not played more in OU. There are many many reasons why Magcargo is not played more in OU and the same goes with Excadrill Sand Rush. As for this, Volcarona + Dugtrio is not unhealthy. There are plenty of answers to Volcarona in OU that do not fear Dugtrio: Dugtrio itself Defensive or Offensive Dragonite Multiscale (still works vs hp ice) Chansey / Blissey Gyarados Rain Teams (Pelipper + w.e) Garchomp Scarf AV Gallade Conkeldurr Chandelure Mienshao Scarf or AV Mandibuzz You can also play plenty of lower tier mons that will also deal with Volcarona, I was just listing the ones in OU not weak to Dugtrio.
  9. Top 6 in usage (16.59%) 51.17% win rate
  10. [SIÂ] Sic Itur Ad Astra Registered Players: Team Captain: gbwead
  11. Who the fuck cares? Even if someone bothers to show you thousand of calcs where Sharpness 1.5 gets KOs that 1.4 doesn't get, it would still not matter. If tomorrow Seismic Toss goes from 50 dmg to 100 dmg, it would still not KO anything, but everyone would complain that the move is broken.
  12. For what's it's worth, Rock Tomb can also do that.
  13. Minors should not be allowed to play Dugtrio.
  14. @Toxicz Please clear up the following allegation.
  15. Maybe they got lazy, maybe something happened in their life, maybe they don't care, it doesn't really matter what's their reason because they don't owe you anything. This game is free to play. Enjoy.
  16. If you're new and you are losing, never blame rng for a loss and always look back at the game you just played to figure out what you could do better in terms of plays and what you could change about your team to improve. The more you lose, the better you'll get.
  17. You're asking a question, but you're unwilling to accept the answers given to you because you feel you know better. You're not looking for answers, you're looking for people to argue with. If you already know the answers to your own questions, stop wasting our time.
  18. Devs decided to buff Sharpness back to x1.5 as indicated in the last update patch notes. TC had nothing to do with it.
  19. Diglett and Trapinch have the same ability. They have never been viable in OU. Dugtrio's stats matter. AT alone is not enough to accomplish anything.
  20. Wait there are no reserves for this tournament? If someone doesn't show up, that's a bye?
