It's a showdown mod where non-OU pokémons get boosts to their basestats.
UU get +5, RU get +10, and NU get +15.

For exemple, Shedinja's stats in this mod are :
HP: 1 + 15 = 16
Attack: 90 + 15 = 105
Defense: 45 + 15 = 60
Sp.Atk: 30 + 15 = 45
Sp.Def: 30 + 15 = 45
Speed: 40 + 15 = 55

And before you ask, yes, that means he has more than 1HP in this.

I don't want to identify as one or the other. I enjoy battling as well as catching and raising, I also obviously have favorites and would rather not have to win with pokemon I don't care too much for over ones I love.

Then don't play competitively, simple enough. You'd lose in OU, UU and RU.

So I'm a "karenfag" who likes to battle, big deal. You need to label everything?

I'm just slightly annoyed that my favorite team gets thrown into a tier it can't compete in because of one or 2 pokes.

I do have fun with it. It's fun trying strategies and learning when something does or doesn't work.

I just think it'd be better if I could use all of my favorites without being utterly outclassed instead of having to trade up so I won't have a team full of stragglers.

Because Beedrill and Kyurem should never bee in the same battle.

Plus seeing the same teams of Politoed/Ferrothorn/Gyarados/Ninjask/Blissey/Dragonite over and over again gets old fast.

I can tell this is bait, but I'll bite.
If you know your opponent is using Ninjask (fucking team preview) you lead with something that can counter it, aka multihit moves or priority. Ninjask goes down like a chump to either. If you have neither priority nor multihit moves, you deserve to lose.

Scizor has 130 base attack, a powerful technician boosted Bullet Punch, Pursuit, high-damage U-Turn scouting, and resistances up the wazoo. Using him in the rain allows him to even live through lower power fire attacks.

Scizor gets its shit wrecked by Volcarona in every possible situation in which I've had the displeasure of facing it. Maybe I'm just playing my cards right, maybe I'm facing retards who can't use the pokemon right, but almost every time, scizor is a wasted slot against me.

Volc does pretty good against Scizor

unless SR is up

in which Volc can't switch in because it gets 2HKO'd

BP also OHKOs after SR + 1-2 spikes layers against whatever volc spread

Yeah bulky fire types can force scizor to switch out, but I'm not sure Volc is exactly the best choice.

If you're playing against retards that can't get SR up and get 6-0'd by 1 QD Volc, then who cares they're retards.

Those stats are wrong, because I see way more ninjask than scizor.

If anything is on 21% of teams, it's Latios.

I don't know where you've been playing Pokemon. Latios has high usage, but Scizor has the highest overall usage out of any pokemon.

Did everyone else move somewhere else or do scizor just get buttfucked by my team so fast that I don't even notice them anymore?

Scizor does have counters, yes, but he serves as a very good counter to several other Pokemon.

PO uses the Smogon tiers iirc, I dunno why you aren't seeing a scizor every other team.
