We need a new tier and here's why

Recommended Posts

You see i think that a tier that would go in that has pokemon that are close to broken but not broken at the same time. Pokemon like Sand Rash Excadrill. Shadow Tag Chandelure. Jirachi. And this would pokemon in ubers chance like. Manaphy. Sky-Form Shaymin. Darkrai. The lists could go on and on. Now a name for this tier i have not a clue. I don't want to just name it Borderline 2. Or something like that. So name i'll let you come up with. But until then i hope Ame or Edge or some one see's this.

Exca is just a retard. Prio Fighting beats it pretty hard and some stuff walls it good to.

Shadow Tag Chandelure just allows for dumb derpy set ups.

Darkrai is bad. End of discussion. Well people who spam void with it are bad.

Manaphy gets Rest and can reach +6 SpA effortlessly as well as in rain Rest gets washed away? Lol okay.

I'm not to sure about Skymin though.

I think that could be an interesting idea, there are some pokemon in ubers with little to no chance, manaphy is definitely one of them, can't stand its own in ubers. I don't agree with excadrill, but I may agree with the jirachi part. I think rayquaza could also go into it, it doesn't have the same sheer ability as kyogre and groudon do, too slow to be a great mixed attacker without setup. SKYmin might also fit into this catagory, but it might overshadow jirachi. I don't think so though.

^_^ In OU theres more pokemon stronger who actually can defeat a legendary. so then i think they should be promoted to be UBER or BL like Jirachi .Jirachi is actually legendary but its not a uber ,Jirachi should be uber sometimes right ? because it has Serene grace .Oww about Deoxys its a legendary pokemon but why when i battle i can see a Deoxys who are in OU team :\ Edited by Glaciem

I even gave you something to switch in on sleep.

Rather than whining, go educate yourself.

*Thanks to Skeleton for noticing the fucked up Chandy.

Basically what Neo said but in less detail.

I think you're basing this too much off HOW and WHO you're facing the pokemon with, rotom, rather than the sort of strategic pokemon you use against them. Every team has it's nightmares, and just because you had hell with some, doesn't mean "oh hey this guy's too tough make another tier pls".

Please, actually test out the pokemon yourself before whipping out the ban hammer.

On a side note, Sunkern is too strong. It needs it's own tier above ubers.

Edit: Oh, and you're not even suggesting enough pokemon to fit a whole tier. You could, at best, only salvage around six of them. That's laughable for a whole new "tier".

Well the Smogonite term for that tier would be "Suspect." Though it isn't a stable tier, even there. Just a testing tier to see what's too stronk for OU or to weak for Ubers. Regardless a tier like that practically bans the Pokemon from the game, as barely anyone would use a tier that has so few pokemon in it. This is the reason that Borderline battles don't exist, or are of the utmost rarity. Technically here we could do a borderline battle because it's a lot bigger but the borderline is Smogon has like.. 6. If we could fit a lot of pokemon into the tier then we could try it but even then that's complicated and not really worth it.

>Erick

You put two Ferrothorns. Mistake maybe?

>Roo

I actually know of a server with a tier that has 4 Pokemon. Not going to point fingers here, just saying.

One Ferrothorn on a list for Skymin, the other for Manaphy. No mistake.

I don't think you understand what Rotomfan63 is trying to say here. He's proposing an entirely new tier between OU and ubers, he isn't asking for Darkrai or Skymin to be moved down into OU, or for Excadrill and Swift swim to be banned to ubers, he's referring to them being moved to a completely new tier, based between OU and Ubers..

Doesn't seem like too a horrible idea to me.

Back on track here. Anyway, the auth aren't about to do anything about it, especially mixing Pokemon like Excadrill and Garchomp in with guys like Shaymin-S. Those guys are way more broken, and we don't need standard Pokemon meshing with legendaries, as the tiers the way they stand now are what make Reborn what it is, and thus do not warrant overhaul. Besides, this would be baffling for newcomers. If we're going to make a new tier, we might as well make it towards the lower tiers (like something between UU and LU).
