This month we will be allowing the community to get involved in the discussion prior to the votes being made, usually this is done over a weekend but I will be busy this weekend so we will be doing it a bit ahead of schedule.  You are free to participate in the discussion leading up to the member of the TC voting, and try and sway any decisions, or potentially bring something up if you feel something is worth of discussion.

 

Normal discussion thread rules apply.

 

This is the second month in a cycle and as such will use the 1.7 down 6.7 up, so, nothing is moving via usage this month. Discuss away.

OU meta is so centralized in togekiss counter + 5 mons there is problem there.

 

That explains the increase in the use of ttar and magnezone.

 

I think togekiss ban could open a diverse meta where pokes like gallade and others could be havin even more participation in ou.

Ttar usage rose only 0.37% since last month and is a 1.93% drop since February

Zone did rise 4.4% though, but I think it's mostly related to Duggy sinking deeper into UU and the paranoia around it cooling down.

 

Edit: My bad I was comparing April>May not May>June TTar rose a 1.27% and Zone a 0.70%.

i believe dugtrio since the nerf is no that much useful for uu, but i mean testing banning for a month togekiss would bring out more cores like mantine/hippodown allow stall without having to rely in something like timid milotic or careful aerodactyl. I think this will only make the meta a little more variable than just centralizing in that poke with such a cancerous strategy.

 

This poke can go into any kind of team without having to fear much as the one against it i mean most popular sets on togekiss is scarf,nasty plot bulky or sub togekiss. and trust me is not fun playing against any of them.

If anything Togekiss is forcing a bit more variety into defensive teams instead of the classic Blissey/Chansey (since updates) + Mantine/bulky Milotic + Gliscor/Hippowdon + Skarmory/Ferrothorn + Reuniclus/Cofagrigus (since updates) + Tentacruel teams we had at the start of Unova. Hell you can still run most of these and replace something for a kiss check or counter to stop it.

Neither is playing against stall but we aren't banning stall mons.

 

Anyways we already discussed Togekiss to death, we had 3 months to work with it, a mon which trapped and destroyed a lot of its checks and counters was added into the meta and it didn't affect it much, it's not getting banned.

Anyway, could we test scraggy in LC?

While people claimed it swept the whole meta after a dd before, that is quite not true. For starters, its forced to flinch those fighting mons (And mienfoo + timburr are used everywhere). Secondly it either loses moxie, or needs rng to get rid of those burns and paralyzes that it sure doesnt enjoy.

Now, since counter is rng based (Not in the favor of scraggy), lets mention checks:

-Scarf brave birders - Good in general in a fighting meta + hit misdreavus

- Timburr: Cant exactly safely counter but is a nice check to it (Assuming +1 atk +1 speed scraggy already)

- Scarf mienfoo.

Acrobactics larvesta- this can actually counter unless scraggy has a rock move.

etc etc.

You might say: Oh but scraggy can use bulk up too. 

Yes, it can. But dd is by far the most destructive set and in a tier where mienfoo is used above 50%, you wont get away with bulk up that easily.

As a bonus, it would reduce that unhealthy misdreavus spam.

Ok, so the reason to keep togekiss in the meta is just to not let people play stall anymore imo this is kindda sad dude forcing stall players to run gimmicks to stop this thing just because you don't that playstyle.

You forgot the other reason why that mon that trapped and destroyed a lot of its checks was its buffs, i basically don't see any problem for this mon to be in bl 1 atleast if you don't want to deal with him just like you don't want to deal with stall. lol

Let me list more counters for it (And I dont care if you find them unviable cuz you just mentioned sableye)

-Bulky Leafeon (best bibarel counter also)

-Musharna

-Durant (Needs bulky but its useful for other stuff aka ambipoms)

-scyther

-Pinsir

 

While some are shaky at best, all these can counter all gallade viable sets at full health. For specific sets, there are even more smh.

Checks: A lot of stuff over 80 speed.

Gallade:

Spoiler

I don't believe Gallade is banworthy. It has counters in NU. Ya, there aren't many walls that can counter it, but that's fine. If it could be walled easily, it would not be a threat. Having a threat that can beat the two most used walls in the tier (steelix and golbat) is a good thing. 

 

Sableye, Dusknoir, Slowbro and Scyther are all decent walls in NU and at countering Gallade. Sableye is also not a joke. It got great immunities that allows it to be useful against offensive teams with banded mons. It's also a very decent spin blocker agaisnt more stally teams. 

Gallade is also not that fast and shadow sneak is not the greatest priority move. It's not that hard to revenge kill it. Charizard spec, Scarf Braviary, Scyther, Golbat with speed investment, Kangaskhan, Ambipom, Swellow, Ursaring, etc. The list goes on and I'm not even considering the more gimmicky acrobatic or illumise stuff.

Scraggy:

Spoiler

 

Scraggy was utterly broken. It was sweeping with little to no support. I'm all for wall larvesta and gimmicky stuff in general, but Acrobatic Larvesta, idk I just don't see it. There aren't really any walls that can stop Scraggy. The only version of Mienfoo that can survive Scraggy is Impish Mienfoo and realistically Impish Mienfoo isn't played with High Jump Kick, it's played with Drain Punch. Mienfoo switches on Scraggy, Scraggy does DD. Scraggy then does Zen Headbutt or High Jump Kick, Mienfoo prays for a miss or no flinch and then does Drain Punch which doesn't kill and doesn't heal back enough to survive Scraggy's next attack (16+16 > 21+18/2). 

 

Misdreavus having high usage is not a good reason to unban a broken pokemon.

Idk if the togekiss discussion is gonna happen probably not but key points are these:

 

togekiss is toxic on the meta by destroyng lots of playstyles, bulk,speed and movesetting is pretty big. Sub togekiss kills most of its counter, scarf togekiss rekts most of HO teams or atleast from 1-2 pokes. healbell+soft+air slash kills stall easyly. Idk there is not a single core in OU to stop a togekiss and be able to play balanced.

 

"if you can't wall it outspeed it was something we used last gen" as this doesn't apply anymore to this that poke will get on sub and rekt you through out the match slowly.

 

God damn TC togekiss is not good for this metta until we get good weapons against that thing. meta is not prepared for togekiss unless you only want a meta with 2 playstyles being HO and screens.

Please stay on topic of the current tiers/changes, thank you.  Adding new pokemon is out of the scope of this discussion.

Then what's the way to resolve this problem until the new mons are added? what do you suggest dear @Munya?
