>>31224763Incineroar is even more trash than the owl in competitive, yes even with intimidate. Tranny seal is a one trick pony that gets outclassed by tons of other stuff.
I have no idea why Smogon is even considering giving Tranny seal its own OU page but it will be as useful as Tyrantrum's gen 6 OU page.
Bottom line, all Alolan starters are trash, the only reason why people tend to attack owlfags the most is because said owlfags try to sell their shitmon with utmost enthusiasm at every passing second while most good players just roll their eyes at it.
>b-but this high ladder guy uses Decidueye!Fucking Slaking and Shedinja have gotten to the top of the ladder and they are fucking terrible. Fulfilling a niche and being an incredibly solid pick in the tier are two different things.
If you like the owl and wanna build around it in the tier then go ahead and use it but stop trying to sell it as the next Serperior because it's not the case at all.
