Taunt completely negates stored power. Hydreigon completely negates mono psychic. Scizor can sd and, to some extent, beat it. You can phaze it or haze it. And finally, if you really want, you could bring lower tiered pokemon. Spiritomb, for instance, handles nicely reuni and conk. TLDR; Unlike garchomp, doublesetup Reuni has plenty of answers, most of them viable, so I don't think it is really broken. More of a nuisance maybe, but fine.

No, escavalier is great, but durant is far far beyond that.

So far only murcielago is eligible for the manager spot. Everyone else fails to complete the necessary requisites.

No bankai. Release!

You'd be simply shifting the issue towards a new tier. New NU would be "fixed", but the new RU would be literally our current NU with the same issues it possesses.

I think you are missing the point. No one can tell exactly whether a mon will or not be banned. A small group of "players" are needed to discuss and only after that happens we can know what will happen to whatever pokemon they discussed. For Garchomp, it has been discussed since April, and therefore whoever decided to invest money into making one is/or should be aware of the risk. Also, you probably didnt waste the money because Garchomp will come back as a nerfed version of itself sometime soon tm.

All I see is clefable having 47,88% winratio. tldr; People there are so good and use the so broken mons that they wins less than half the games. GJ.

and it was 0 atk.

you forgot the part garchomp would clean if it was invested in atk, ohkoing gliscor in the process The fact a 0 atk garchomp took down two mons is interesting to say the least.

True true, my bad. Co-manager thing is still new, and I might have to update a bit the ruleset. Both Managers and eventual co-managers are NOT allowed to play.

So, It's finally time! Welcome to PSL XIII. (Hype!) For those who are new or haven't yet read the general rules, please check, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jrFThqqVDoe_QRs3vzPJxfFzNg4n7EwlV1fVEk0Kkis/edit Now, without further ado, let me introduce you this season's manager sign-up. 1- What are you, as a manager, expected to accomplish? Be present at the time of the auction, or appoint someone who can (Note: We are accepting co-managers in this season. If you wish to select one, make sure to let us know asap after you are elected, until 3 days before the auction starts). Send, to us hosts, their team roster each week, as well as your manager choice at the time. Ensure they, and their players, know and respect all rules stated in the link above. (This includes subbing, buying players, selling players, changing contracts, etc etc) Putting in effort. Both manager and eventual co-manager are not allowed to play. 2- How to apply? Post in this thread under the following format: IGN: Reason: Other random stuff: 3- When is the deadline? 7th of September (12h00 GMT) 4- What then? 8 managers will be selected (Fast, accurately, and unbiased) based on how well they are expected to perform. For this reason, make sure you post a serious appliance. Player sign-up Auction Start of the season. 5- GET HYPED! Also, feel free to express your opinions on already posted sign-ups, or sign-ups you'd be willing to wish in the future. Finally, if there is anything you are not sure about it will work, make sure to contact us hosts. And good luck for those who want to be elected.

Hydreigon be like: MWAHAHAHAHA

For god sake dont. You'll regret everything you just said about leaderboards.

Nope. They have to select their co-manager in the manager signup.

From what we gathered (If we understood it correctly), there seems to be no con to this suggestion (Might be a bit useless, maybe, but shouldn't hurt testing nevertheless) So. (And please confirm this is what you suggesting): - Managers can now select a co-manager under their manager signup. - The co-manager has the same functions as the manager, meaning they cannot play if the duo gets selected as one of the 8 managers. - This feature is optional. - If a co-manager is selected and the team is awarded a manager reward, it is split between the two in any way they see fitting.

Unfortunately yes, I believe its a bit too late. However, just to be clear, is there any difference between an "Assistant" or any player that is assigned captain or even assigned for manager duties temporarily? PS: As I was writing, I realized managers are not always able to buy the friends they were willing to co-manage. That could be interesting for as long as it is not necessary. thoughts? @ThinkNicer, or anyone else that wants to give input. PS2: Maybe not too late.

I agree with cycled-based usage movements. But we should probably create exceptions whenever the tier at stake is nowhere near stable neither properly discussed yet.

ultimately it is the same though. RU will be just current NU with a different name, and with another tier under it.

Could we like, stop getting usage drops for NU until the tier is somewhat stabilized? It had broken stuff prior to September changes, and now things will only become more chaotic. I reached a point where I am not sure who/what to blame. TC can be really stagnant for some reason, but even they cannot perform miracles and discuss properly a tier where a bunch of pokemon are always rising dropping and disrupting the already chaotic metagame. If this keeps going we are going to have a NU super centralized metagame, where an handful of pokemon are stuck there via usage and no one to send them back to where they belong. Even worse the more Pokemon fulfill that criteria the harder it is to pinpoint what is actually disrupting the meta or not. TLDR; Please stop affecting NU with usage while TC doesn't properly discuss the current tier at hands.

Either way, can we go to more pressing matters and instaban rhyperior from NU? Please.

And yet nothing is done lmao.

Sure.

Hydreigon is broken. You want garchomp banned. Garchomp banned makes Hydreigon even worse. TLDR; Ban hydreigon nevertheless. @gbwead

Cant be. It beats Garchomp, who is S++ (or uber). So it has to be above, right? Anyway, gengar should be A/A+. Scizor still exists , and can't afford to switch on eqs anymore, so imo it doesn't justify any higher rank. idk about rotom.

There is none. In fact, Zoroark doesn't need illusion to be problematic in NU.
