[@goGothitaLOL]

Fun Fact: Eviolite works on Dipplin It’s obvious what this means in the next couple of months

[@Kris_King]

The idea of 135 sp.atk with a base 140 stab move not being strong enough turn 1 just sounds crazy to me. (also earth power cz ground is always a good offensive coverage to have)

[@The95Lol]

Mienshao sort of has a niche with its move pool, Inner Focus and the newly acquired Ice Spinner imo. Downside is figuring out the 4 moves you want on it.

[@AZYG4LYFE]

My guy time travelled from Worlds 2024 to warn us!!! Take heed!!

[@blare8411]

It's like he forgot this mon was incredible in gen 8 smh

[@Tangwa147]

Compare to this day monster , it's hard to compete with 😢(big fans of this pokemon too.)

[@Norcoo]

I thought the same thing, then I remembered it's non-exsistant bulk :(

[@iBloodyGuyonce]

Woo more Ray! Was so great to meet you at Worlds! Excited for another season of content

[@blare8411]

Bro there ain't no way you threw Meinshao, Trevenant, Infernape, and Mandibuzz straight into the shit tier with zero consideration. All of those mons have important niches to fill that no other mon can achieve

[@ayalajosh5]

😂

[@Charlie28330]

They are called niches for a reason, overall there all pretty bad

[@goGothitaLOL]

But then again, he’s referring to Regulation D with the Paradox Pokémon and Legendaries (Ruin Quadruplets, Zapdos, Heatran, Cresselia, Tornadus-I, Landorus-T, Urshifu, Regieleki, Enamorus-T) as well as Ursaluna

[@1stCallipostle]

​@@goGothitaLOLIs Lando still relevant? I know it kinda stopped existing in singles and this format is foreign to me

[@th3_ph4ntomreborn31]

​@@1stCallipostleit's literally top 10 in OU right now how is it disappeared in singles

[@jonathanbernhard5418]

I think Teal Mask Ogerpon could be scary offensively. Speed + damage boost when tera'd and with defiant, with support it could be a good sweeper.

[@daniellejackson6543]

Although only grass stab and reliant on stat drops. Ivy cudgel is Hella strong, especially with tera.

[@chimuoma390]

Daemon Beast Mode Would Beat Ogerpon Easy!Ogremon Would Be Dead Even!Thoughts?

[@ginoreyes6090]

​@@chimuoma390??

[@JJ-kc2nx]

ogerpon gets follow me so I'm actually expecting supportive ogerpon sets to be really solid as it has some decent bulk and surprisingly good move pool

[@matthewvonbargen9450]

The mon you won worlds with (Ludicolo) being C tier is lowkey wild

[@Kasaaz]

Mienshao the only big surprise.

[@CosmicPharaoh]

I thought the same, great tier list though. Inner focus, fast fake out, close combat, wide guard, quick guard makes it a solid support option with burst options as well

[@TopOfAllWorlds]

​@@CosmicPharaoh has regenerator too so you can swap it out if it gets low and you wana use it later

[@blare8411]

@@TopOfAllWorlds not enough bulk for it to be worth it. sash with inner focus is infinitely better

[@goGothitaLOL]

Mandibuzz too

[@Kasaaz]

@@goGothitaLOL I saw that Pelipper gets Knock Off... has it had it before? Such a weird choice.

[@hugomventura]

Trevant or any harvest mon i feel like can have a niche if they were to reintroduce rowap and jacobba berries. Chip damaging moves not normaly chipped feels like it has alot of potential. Its just that it is inconsistent without sun lol.

[@genarftheunfuni5227]

I KNEW other people would consider Ninetales in here as an alternative to Torkoal. And in this Meta they have important upsides and downsides over one another. Torkoal can devastate teams with Eruption and thanks to it being the slowest weather setter, it's sun is likely to stay. Kanto Ninetales on the other hand, is *slightly* bulkier on the special side, and has a pretty good supportive movepool with Will O Wisp, Safeguard, Encore, Imprison and the newly obtained Baton Pass. And it's 100 base speed allows it to actually get something going before being outsped by something else.

[@kwb36]

Galvanize Explosion Alolan golem put next to any follow me mon w/ terra ground sounds wildly fun.

[@bryangoldstein9579]

lil bro smoking crack putting gliscor in d

[@dimentdash]

Absolutely disrespectful. So many good usable Pokémon in that D tier

[@ManDyter]

Exactly my thoughts. Guy just likes his meta Pokémon and other than that he cares less.

[@suly5836]

I was gonna seethe for seeing crawdaunt and gliscor at the bottom but then I realized this was a VGC tier list.

[@user-gr9kh2jv2f]

Ruin and Paradox abilities are immune to ability changes anyway so weezing is just getting kicked while down

[@lovelyluna733]

Ruins aren't immune

[@angry998]

nah weezing and slaking will kill billions

[@Twigggggy]

the photo you used in the thumbnail of you looks really good

[@daniellejackson6543]

Ogerpon hearthflame sounds kinda strong as when it teras it has a tera stab boosted plus one 100 base power move with 100 accuracy and high crit chance. Although pretty sure all of them would be at least ok due to ivy cudgel being so strong and good enough stats.

[@1stCallipostle]

My gut tells me Cornerstone has mad potential. Non missing stone edge speaks for itself

[@Pill0w686]

*Basculegion & Hisuian Arcanine left the chat*

[@raginbacon1160]

Bloodmoon Ursaluna and Mamoswine are two that I'm looking to add to my trickroom team.

[@demarkussimon9202]

Ok infernape idk. Gets fast fake out. Gets a quick endeavor. Taunt. Its a solid support mon.

[@Jaccobtw]

Maybe in regulation A. Maybe.

[@jimtsap04]

Roaring moon got both knock off and scale shot it may be viable again, also alomomola basically has a perfect moveset now with wish protect flip turn scald to be annoying asf

[@chrisjoseph3883]

blood moon ursaluna isnt as bulky as regular ursaluna for sure and doesnt hit as hard 135 sp attk vs 140 attk.. however... 1) it doesnt care about intimidate 2) it doesnt care about status... doesnt get a boost like regular ursaluna but it doesnt mind a burn cuz its a special attacker.. 3) being able to hit ghost with normal and fighting moves is a huge + since it could hit gholdengo with super effective fighting moves... 4) not having to run flame orb frees up the item slot... cant run specs but life orb works good, recovery berries, weakness policy, AV, clear amulet etc etc etc... 5) speaking of life orb im praying that it gets sheer force as its secondary or hidden ability the movepool is lacking tho the best set would probably be.. life orb earth power, blood moon, moon blast, calm mind.. assault vest and swap clam mind for trail blaze or vacuum wave.. it also gets body press so it could potentially be a mixed attacker without investing into its attack stat 120 base defense is pretty good especially when you can hit ghost types with this... bulky sweeper set 252 hp 252 special attack with curse, body press, blood moon, vacuum wave.... and hold leftovers.. this more gimmicky but could potentially work

[@Mr.Sax.]

Ray uploaded a new video! Yay!

[@Potato_GamesOfficial]

ive been running tera bug empoleon balance and got decent sucess

[@douglasalsbury7136]

i like arbok.. a intimidator that can glare ground types. One of my favorite mons to screw with

[@KingKerm1t]

Ogerpon has a niche with water absorb and it gets follow me that is more bulky and offensive than maushold

[@michaelcarli]

What about the suicune/virizion forms? Do those count as restricted legendaries?

[@goGothitaLOL]

No, just not allowed until DLC2 comes out

[@alden_bless]

rip leavanny banished to the shadow realm by the goat

[@joshsunderlage4368]

Where's the Volbeat and Illumise buffs? I wanna use these little guys in competitive! Also, they have cool shiny colors.

[@IsawRedPokemon]

Ray, big fan but the Munkidori should be Higher tier. Do you still play soccer?

[@huntingmadgaming294]

bro taking the piss putting crawdaunt in the dont use hahahaha

[@warhorseman8680]

Galarian Wheezing nullifies abilities of ruinous pokemon. With all due respect... the chien-pao and physical attacker leads or chi-yu + flutter man will end with him. Someone doesn't understand today's meta.

[@creationcoreanime]

seeing infernape in D just breaks my heart man

[@Jaccobtw]

Facts 😭

[@goGothitaLOL]

But then again, he’s referring to Regulation D with the Paradox Pokémon and Legendaries (Ruin Quadruplets, Zapdos, Heatran, Cresselia, Tornadus-I, Landorus-T, Urshifu, Regieleki, Enamorus-T) as well as Ursaluna

[@creationcoreanime]

@@goGothitaLOL I understand why it just goes to show how insane powercreep is that such a solid mon from the old days isnt even worth considering.

[@Mut-ant]

Me pp stalling with mandibuzz to cause 100+ turn games to ocur in tournaments:

[@Novaxe_]

Wake up!!!! the goat uploaded a new video

[@laskeese7930]

definitely sleeping on mienshao crazy hard

[@fastee]

mienshao is still threatening incineroar

[@XDEnd00]

Well, surging strikes doesn't care about intimidate

[@COWBOYP]

you should note that this is in regards to 2v2

[@listeningtodrew55]

Not my boi trev! You did him dirty 😢

[@mettataurr]

i think you shoulda fix the camera so you’re facing it makes it so you connect wit viewers more

[@itsdragoman]

Empoleon doesn't get scald, Milotic does

[@TopOfAllWorlds]

Furret in dont use even after getting tidy up? :(

[@k9guy]

Only seems good in singles where hazards/subs are common.

[@neo6632]

Good, I'm in the Tier C haha

[@moviestudios100]

I've been waiting years to use Infernape in comp. :( this makes me sad

[@JakeOakley1991]

You look me at Infernape. I don’t think you really understand Competitive viability.

[@Tier2Op]

Yes. Cause you know better than a world champion.

[@luisan776]

Thank god torterra got some love, worst gen 4 starter no longer!

[@duckymomo7935]

I’m pretty sure people thought pachirisu was d tier

[@sukhmeet8665]

I mean it is, but Sejun Park found a niche for it

[@mpregsonic5874]

I think ambipom is C tier. It gets triple axel

[@sloowbroo]

Literally bad in every way? Frail, not fast, not hard hitting?

[@ulonroa3305]

Gliscor nooooooooo :(

[@vittoriomassaro8131]

I've never expected in my life to see Leavanny in OU

[@ImPacTMaSTer1]

Meinshao and gliscor in useless tier makes me angry sure this guy knows way more about pokemon than me but im still mad

[@zelda1819]

Dusknoir rank B

[@sloowbroo]

if any mon form that line its gonna be dusclops at best bc eviolite, but 0.06 usage says otherwise

[@MattAlexander-do2od]

Dude infernape, ambipom, gliscor and then mienshaow straight the D tier. I was shocked. I mainly have a singles competitive history but I’ve played VGC the past few years so I kinda get it but still I feel like all these could be at least C tier. Either way just opinions, love your content Ray, keep up the great work!

[@jacobwallace2920]

Infernape, ambipom, mienshao, gliscor, mandibuzz, morpeko and trevenant all got shafted At least put em in C! (Gliscor only cuz i love him)

[@COWBOYP]

this tier list is wild wrong

[@hamburger6209]

I don’t think anyone understands how badly I wish dipplin had better stats I really like it and I wish at least it had higher stats than the other apples and more damage or bulk, I was so disappointed when I saw it’s stats

[@goGothitaLOL]

Fun Fact: Eviolite actually works on Eviolite You know what that means right?

[@ftu2021]

Milotic should be A at the very least because of Scald.

[@Mad6ix99]

This list is so off

[@ManDyter]

Just a world champion who only cares for his same old boring Meta to win tournaments. Nothing of value here.
