The UU MetaGame Discussion Thread

Alison McDonald is a good kid.

Moltres is still going run rampant, I'm pretty sure of that. Especially with Froslass around spewing spikes everywhere.

Dang, Cress still got out. I voted for it to be UU, hoping that more people would think that it wasn't broken so I could prevent a supermajority. Oh well, it's not like the results are really that surprising.

...Actually, now that I think about it, I'm surprised that capefeather and Heysup voted Cress UU as well.

I lol'd that Lass wasn't even a suspect. People kept complaining about how broken it was, but they didn't even bother to nominate it.

But yeah, Moltres+Swellow+Froslass is going to be ridiculously good again. Absol is going to be used a bit less, and Venu will get back to first.

After a bit of testing, I've found Gardevoir a decent replacement for Cress. Wish support, Heal Bell, Trace, and still a fair amount of bulk specially make it an alright replacement IMO.

It's probably because everyone was complaining about Cresselia and Porygon-Z too much.

And I thought Venusaur was first in Januaury? (Which clearly shows my ignorance of not looking at the Feb. stats)

By the way, for those of you who didn't know Silent Verse is a beast, currently #3 on the UU Ladder.

Wait, did HEA-RT-LESS pass me? I was 2nd last time I checked.

I dunno, I have a feeling that Venu isn't going to be first on February statistics due to Cressy being able to set up on it ridiculously well...

 

[Terywj [태리]]

A while back when I checked it said you were 3rd, I'm afraid.

Oh. I thought the Feb. stats had already came out. X-Act is pr0.

I have to say, Thank Goodness Cress is out. As much as I liked using her, I can take Absol out of the focus of my teams.

 

[SilentVerse]

D:

I now feel like I wasted my Wednesday night writing my 2000+ word essay on Cresselia being UU.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I'm sure everyone who the opposite of what happened (Voters for Raikou being BL, Voters for Porygon Z being UU) felt the same way as you did, Silent Verse.

Don't worry though, cheers to this next round of UU!

Do people Shed Shell their Registeel?

If not, why don't people Shed Shell their Registeel?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I don't think so, because Magneton would just get owned by Earthquake.

Most people don't actually run Seismic Toss on Registeel, but I dunno.

-Terywj

 

[Metal~Mario]

Wouldn't Trapinch and Dugtrio be more dangerous than Magneton?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Right. I keep overthinking when I hear Shed Shell and think of Magneton and Probopass, and not Trapinch and Dugtrio.

-Terywj

 

[Metal~Mario]

Can't Registeel KO both with Ice Punch because they're frail?

 

[Wave⁂]

But then you need Ice Punch.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Exactly. I think Registeel carry Earthquake+Ice Punch or Iron Head moreso than they do Seismic Toss, so I don't think Dugtrio is a problem. Especially on Curse variants.

Also, Trapinch is lol.

-Terywj

 

[SilentVerse]

I think Seismic Toss is the better option though, and sometimes, having Shed Shell isn't worth losing Leftovers recovery. Ice Punch isn't that great of an option on Registeel to be honest, since there isn't much to hit anyways (as Dugtrio is 2HKO'd by Iron Head on the switch, and it can't OHKO).

 

[Terywj [태리]]

That's probably true. I try not to use Registeel, as playing it tends to lead into some stall. I was just stating out of personal experience. Then again I can't battle for life, so yeah.
