Did you just say DARMANITAN? XD
You can use Scarf easily in low ladder since you wont be affected that much by rocks.
In high elo ranked games, Choice Band is more domineering since it can just explode 90% of the walls 2HKO (even with not very effective damage), but not just that. You just cant abuse the u-turn scarf in high elo games since in 90% of the cases there'll be rocks in field, making Mienshao basically more fit for that pivot purpose. Even though Mienshao cant wallbreak as much as Darma, it can somehow be boring with multiple entries thanks to regenerator.
Good partners for Darmanitan Scarf: Basically a sun team with Torkoal/Exegg etc, you'll have the power of the Band darma (because of the weather) and the speed of the scarf darma xD
Good partners for Darmanitan Band: balanced teams with rotom/chomp. -

It's also true that none of this actually matters, they'll never change this item, and they'll never stop making limited-time items. We are arguing just for the sake of arguing & boredom.
You just lost your spot in verm ch1, come back

I've never said that's not the case. I'm saying it sucks. Keep your hands off this cool vanity for the greater good of all players. You said you make profit anyways aye ? "Emergent" players can wait or maybe they can just play the game and make more money like anyone should.
Imo It will probably stay as seasonal, so relax :3 , i was just talking about the overall.

All I see is rich people crying though. Look, if no vanities are limited, there is no "vanityMMO" = all your rant about poor players are more victim about this is meaningless. Because it doesn't have to be that way, this game doesn't have to turn into vanityMMO any more than the way it is now, cos it's fucked up and boring. All your rant is just assuming poor player have to accept playing by your rules and playing your "vanityMMO" but what if they don't have to if another game is possible ?
Let this cool vanity accessible to every player.
You are getting one part of that wrong. We don't make the rules, dude, we just dance according to the music. I'm not saying that they have to accept that, but i don't believe that limited vanities will cease to exist and as everybody knows, they are (with some exceptions) a long term investment. I don't know what the others think about it, but what i'm trying to explain is that limited vanities are cool for people that have saved some cash and want to make some long term profits. I'm not saying "poor players" are victims as if i am some kind of guardian of something, all i say is that emergent players will be the most affected ones, and that's just true. You have the right to think that this is "boring", but the game is not just about it and you have plenty options to have fun, you can shiny hunt/pvp or you can just buy the limited you want before it gets too manipulated, cause eventually it will, and that happens with every game with limited stuff.
-
I mean, we just need to stay afk in vermilion, that being limited or not wont affect the so called "rich" you guys are talking about, cause the increase rate of older items is just way better now(GDM is a beautiful anomaly, in terms of % increase base). Tbh this will affect the players that are getting some pokeyen and starting the vanityMMO, cause they'll have nothing to invest in until the next event.

Slowbro has risen...
Goodbye boring wall that only knows how to use Toxic or Future Sight.
About the rest:-
Torkoal: won't do anything in OU, I doubt it can last a season. But, this impacts sun teams in the UU negatively, making pokes that were part of the tier, but didn't work without Torkoal setting Sunlight, will now drop tier, as they are likely to do nothing in OU, especially with competition with Pelliper
-
Heracross: No comments, good stallbreak, only one season on Over Used and it has already dropped again, because of competition with Darmanitan. Under Used: Absolute Meta. Over Used: Cannot stand a chance.
-
Mandibuzz and Slowbro: Extremely dangerous, I think they will be used well in cores or compete to see who will be the team's wall. The stall, will reign in the UU. But the tier is dead, so hardly one of them will drop tier, because it won't take many matches to beat the usage needed to stay. the max is Mandibuzz return to OU
-
Gligar: One Physical Wall fall, other enter to replace. However, this wall cannot do nothing against ice, and Frosslass has been so used...
-
Aerodactly: This one is going to fight Archeops for a spot on the team. Both play the same role. However, Aero comes from a higher tier and has a good ability, unlike Archeops. So whoever uses Archeops will switch him to Aerodactyl on the team.
Munya, can send the Dex Updates, from NU and Untiered, to see who can no longer be used in UT Unoffical Championships, and who mons can now be used?"Won't do anything in OU"? Dude, the current top1 is spamming torkoal+darma and we can say that thanks to him and his clones, torkoal got a higher % usage, any OU Matchmaking player knows that. This team is actually quite consistent and second in spam only to those togekiss+reuniclus+dugdrio teams. Torkoal is specific for that team, it isnt a pick you can put everywhere like garchomp lol.
Heracross is in the same category, it can be used with rain comps to kill ghost walls such as cofa/jelli (that usually handle a little bit with tops) with SD Night slash burn, but you wont see him in random compositions, again, its specific use.
You need to understand that people are starting to spectating matches and using the sharingan, for the guy who only wants to farm some BP, he doesnt care about it. -

North Pole for xmas 2021?
Rarity of the shinies of the North Pole : my time has come.
But yeah, i'd love it, except that this event would require high level comp mons for the best performance. Lets say the current elfbot stuff is more democratic xD -

Something Orange suggested is give separate data for above 600 ELO players that way we could better judge the actual win rates and usage of things.
600 ELO is achieved with very few games. I could be mistaken, but this suggestion was made for higher ELOs. In a way it makes sense, since you can't compare (with exceptions, of course) a 500 game with a top25+ ladder game, in terms of optimizing the use of a particular pokemon. However, I believe that if this statistic were made available, it would further narrow the use of certain things and diversification (which almost doesn't exist, since most players already use the most "successful" teams) would decrease a lot, so I believe this problem must be considered.

And like I told you earlier, it is not necessary that Relaxed Skarm with 0 speed IV will always Roost first because in practice Conks run speed to outspeed Hippowdon and to speed creep other opposing Conks. 31 IV Speed Hippowdon speed ties with Relaxed Skarm with 0 speed IV, so if Conkeldurr wants to outspeed Hippo, it will always outspeed Relaxed Skarm. If outspeeding Hippo isn't enough, players may also run speed evs to outspeed opposing Flame Orb Conks, so most players will invest a minimum of 20 speed EVs so as to kill 2 birds with one stone.
I see, you were talking about Flame orb Conk! with a bit of spread, indeed it can outspeed relaxed skarm, but IMO roosting after taking the hit is not that good against the likes of Blissey (flamethrower) for example, but thats another situation.

People run a bit of speed on Conk to try and outspeed Hippowdon, so it's very likely that you won't face 0 speed Conk from the better crop of players. If you're that paranoid about not outspeeding Conk then you can run a normal Skarm with macho brace, and probably counter to finish off Conk since it won't be taking RH damage.
Also you calc'd for level 100, when you should be calc'ing for level 50, and the stat difference in those cases 2 points.
Even in lv50, Skarmory still outspeeds Conkeldurr. I just wanted to show you that even with a lot of downgrades (0 IV and -speed nature), skarmory will basically use Roost first. You probably know that, but just in case.

The NikhilR tech that you can use with Skarm is to use Relaxed nature with 0 speed iv so that you end up roosting after the drain punch.
Stonks, but wait, 130>126.

What moveset on skarmory can be used to counter conk?
Brave Bird + Rocky Helmet (item) can do the job. Just remember that you cant use roost in front of Conkeldurr, cause you will lost your flying type in that round and drain punch will basically eat you.
