The time saved by using legendary lures cost so much that you would get the legendary birds quicker by just doing gym runs and buying the legendary off the GTL. Even if the Legendary Lures were costing 30k, it would still be more time/money efficient to use expert lures or doing gym runs.
-
I looked into the value of Legendary Lures and how they compare to Expert Lures when it comes to hunting Legendaries. Even if they dropped to 30k on the GTL, they would still not be worth using.
The following table shows how inefficient Legendary Lures are currently:
Time Saved & Money Spent by using Legendary vs Expert Lures Rate 1/1000 1/2000 1/3000 1/4000 1/5000 1/6000 1/7000 1/8000 Time Saved 42m 1h23m 2h05m 2h46m 3h28m 4h10m 4h51m 5h33m Money Spent $1,199,328 $2,401,206 $3,600,480 $4,799,808 $5,999,136 $7,198,464 $8,400,342 $9,599,670 Assuming
- Legendary Lures cost 90k
- 1 encounter per 8.5 steps for Legendary Lures and per 9 steps for Expert Lures
- 5 encounters per minute
- Legendary Lures increase encounter rate by 15%
- Expert Lures increase encounter rate by 10%
- Using an encounter rate enhancing ability (Swarm / Illuminate)
The following table shows the average time spent to encounter a legendary:Average Time to Encounter

Having flat currency is never going to be too rewarding since it can damage the economy, they just wouldn't allow it.
I agree that they need to be cautious with flat currency rewards, but they could easily give away some consumables like charms, rare candies, etc. They could probably do something that has to do with Ability Patches since Red is only unlocked after completing the Dex.

Red having multiple teams makes no difference for its difficulty, all of em are braindead easy anyways
Are you using the exact same 2 mons for all teams? Because that's the level of difficulty of Ho-Oh.
I never said Red was difficult, just that Ho-Oh was easier. -
The current reward for beating Red is really not impressive compared to other end game content like Ho-Oh.
Red
Requirement
- Completing the entire OT Pokedex (100+ hours)
Difficulty
- Multiple potential teams
Reward
- 165k Pokeyen (Amulet boosted)
- 7.5k BP
Ho-Oh
Requirement
- Completing the Johto Story Line (7 hours)
Difficulty
- Same fight every time
Reward
- 10 Rainbow Quill (5k on the GTL)
- 3 Legendary Lure (100k on the GTL)
Ho-Oh is easier to fight than Red, Ho-Oh gets unlocked 14 times faster than Red and Ho-Oh gives twice the reward as Red. Bad game design.

P2 was already retested in UU following the pp nerf. As for weathers, P2 would imo be great at countering weathers since it is capable of tanking pretty much anything from weathers teams and hurts them back a lot in return. I think P2 would be a very annoying momentum killer for weathers teams. Physical Entei stands no chance vs P2. The only hope Entei and Raikou have is Sub+CM. I'm not sure that's enough to retest P2 but it's something. However, P2 would still have no offensive switch ins in the tier because I don't think sub+cm Raikou or Entei can afford switching into P2.

If Golbat was used in OU to stop Conkeldurr, Machamp doesn't stand a chance.

Removed or not buffed Moves/Abilities/Mechanics
Shadow Tag nerf
Shadow Tag should return to normal and Tickle should be removed from the Wobbuffet/Wynaut species. Wobbuffet was untiered without Tickle.
It's also more authentic to the original games this way. -
-
-
Machamp should be removed from the BL2 list. It's still UU by usage, but if it ever falls to NU, it doesn't look broken at all. Machamp would certainly be strong in NU, but still manageable with stuff like Golbat and Slowbro around.

This is not true
Where is the TC announcement that says otherwise?

If it requires dev intervention chances are you can blame us because we either greenlit it or did it ourselves.
- The introduction of Sharpness was a dev decision.
- The Gallade ban was a TC decision.
- The change from a ban to a 1.3 nerf was a dev decision.
- The change from 1.3 to 1.4 was a dev decision.
- The change from 1.4 to 1.5 was a dev decision.
The last 3 devs decisions have bypassed the Tier Council entirely. If the reasoning behind every Sharpness buff was that the nerfs were too hasty (litteraly what was said last time too), you're just blatantly saying that devs know better than TC when it comes to PvP. At least be honest and say: "devs want sharpness at 1.5, it has nothing to do with pvp, sorry, not sorry, it's not negociable". You don't have to even explain your reason, but please don't bullshit us. We're wasting our time arguing and discussing these pvp matters all for nothing because in the end it's all a big farce and nothing was ever up for discussion.

It was felt that the nerfs to the ability may have been hasty.
By being deliberately vague, you are spreading the blame to so many people and that's really not fair. Who felt that the nerfs were hasty?
For changing Sharpness from a x1.3 boost to a x1.4 boost, you named Rachel as the one we needed to convince for stopping that change. Who is it this time? -
