They just had to go with the most coarse and irritating design possible

Water is a primarily special based type

Don't get me wrong, it works against certain water mons, but it's a meta pick.

And most of the "good" physical Water mons are stuck in RU so I guess it will its home there

I had a nightmare about this thing. I was being chased by a giant Palossand that shot deadly Muddy Water waves dissolving anything it made contact with. It would then slurp up the melty gore like Sliggo.

It'll be UU. It has bulk and reliable recovery, and it can do good damage because it's got good STABs.

UU is lite OU this generation, you have Black Kyurem and the Swords of Justice there, there's no way it's going to be OU

I'll say what didn't, its cry. It's perfectly freaky for what is essentially a sandcastle made up of bones and sand.

No it's not. Shiny new toy syndrome made all those mons drop, because everybody wants to use Lele and le muhmentum roache. It happened at the start of last gen and it's happening again. Keldeo and Gliscor and Volcanion and whatever else will be out of UU once the meta settles.

Because it doesn't fucking do anything. Stats are decent, ability is okay, typing is great, but it lacks a concept that unifies it all together. At least with something like minior it's easy to tell it's a set up sweeper, or golisopod is a revenge killer pivot thing, or pheromosa is a u-turner. This thing is just a sandcastle. I have no idea what its purpose is.

It's typing is the only thing good about it. Being a ghost immune to thunder wave with stab earthquake would have been enough to make it usable in gen 1-4, but it's now generation SEVEN. Now you need more tools than just being a dual ghost type to stay relevant. This thing has nothing that separates it from all the other boring bulky slow pokemon so it will never get used.

they said that about the pokemon you just posted and look what happened in the transition to XY/ORAS

Happened to Celebi, to Conkeldurr, to Haxorus and Hydreigon, to Lucario and Vaporeon

Obviously there's a big difference in stats but you can't deny that UU is going to be a whole new beast this generation, it's going to a huge stat increase in average

so what? XY UU would look insane to someone who last played gen 4 or before.

wouldn't this last post mean you agree with me? Obviously there's a bit of shiny new toy syndrome (Porygon-Z, Tapu Fini, Pelipper and Mantine) but more than half the current OU meta is staples from the past generation, while most of the stuff that didn't make the cut this time it's because it simply doesn't work in SUMO OU anymore. Venusaur Mega, Scizor, Latios, Ferrothorn, Bisharp all stayed.

yeah but I guess I wasn't following the whole thread. I'm a different guy. I agree with your first post but also agree with the guy saying your examples of dropped pokemon are wrong. Kyuurem black won't be UU for long IMO

I should've followed in the Kyurem Black example; it wasn't meant to be what I think UU meta will develop into. Even if Kyurem-B were to never get enough usage to become OU I think it's reasonable to think that it would go to BL

storm drain seems like the simplest shit for game freak to slap on him but instead they chose to come up with an ability that is worse in every possible way

palossand would be great with storm drain, and it's not like it doesn't fit its design
