Those fucks STILL haven't banned Pheromosa yet and they think the fucking Owl is better than this cool as fuck Anchor or even Incineroar. Why does anyone take them seriously again?

People stopped saying phero is broken weeks ago when they found out it was Lele that makes phero broken.

Tier lists, not viability grades.
In OU Dhelmise is a D, while Decidueye is a C-
AKA they're both shit. Decidueye just had a better niche as a Defogger/Passer/Pivot.

The owl is more viable too amigo.

Dhelmise looks better on paper but it doesn't have the utility options Decidueye provides.

Its spinner and spin blocker all in one

The problem is tapu fini is basically a suicine that clears hazards and cant be statused so theres no reason to use a spinner

Both are UU mon. Anchor has more durability and and can put a holein just about anything. Owl is a passer and some utillity.

Also owlfags are pushing it quite a bit. Either way as an anchorfag I'm happy its seeing use and a lurantis tier shitmon.

It's one of the best spinblockers in the game, beats Excadrill, Pheromosa, and Tsareena. Can't get much better than that.

Dhelmise is good. It's just not needed in OU with all the Defoggers we've got.

If it gets Spite from tutors, it can use Ghostium-Z for either a full heal or Z-Phantom Force.

You retards. They do different things. You're comparing azumarill to primarina here. Dhelmise is an offensive trapper/spinner/tank, decidueye is a defensive trapper/defogger/pivot. They have different niches. Dhlemise's niche is to hit hard with great coverage (ground/grass/ghost alone is fantastic), decidueye's niche is to baton pass on trapped things via its decent defensive typing, which it also uses in conjunction with roost to check shit like koko.

Yeah, and baton pass is now banned from uu. Effectively killing Decidueye's niche.

If I had to guess it's because Smogon doesn't believe in adaptability.
