All the newly released megas start in OU and then drop when they don't have enough usage to stay in the tier.
The problem is Zarel's shitty server broke so we aren't getting any usage stats for a while.
Mega Steelix is still RU tier bad because it's got no recovery.

I'm a bit mad because my bro Gengar would have risen back to OU if he had the same usage as the month before and then the server broke.

Clefable and Keldeo too. Their usage is high enough now to be OU again.

why would you want your bros to be OU by usage?
it just means you can't use them in UU anymore

Well, the move itself is drawing more sand into a Pokemon's body to heal itself, so it really only works for Pokemon made of sand or something similar to that.

Who else can get Shore Up, then? Hippowdon is really the only thing I can think of, but it already has Slack Off...

Maybe Sandslash? 75/110/55 (boosted by sand) is nothing to sneeze at, it could be a viable tanky spinner or a sweeper with recovery.

It is an exclusive, but I wouldn't be surprised if they gave it to other Pokemon. Cacturne got Spiky Shield and Accelgor got Water Shuriken so it's not out of the question that it's given to something else

How hard would it be to have a ground type healing move that heals more in a sandstorm?

But what about a ground/steel type or a rock ground type, like say, I dunno, maybe steelix and onix?

Maybe, but it's more of a giant rock than anything; Shore Up is pretty specific
>>32328062
Steel types are not necessarily sand. If there's a Steel type that doesn't have like, a sand body or something, it probably wouldn't get Shore Up anyway. Plus, I think giving Steel types recovery is pretty risky
>>32326490
>>32326774
>>32328216
Steel isn't sand; get over it
I know it would make Steelix good and all, but it just doesn't work out. It doesn't have a body made of sand or something similar to that.

In a world where solar energy can be collected and fired like a wave motion gun, where something smaller than human can throw up an olympic swimming pool's worth of water, where there are creatures who are the literal manifestations of abstract concepts and emotions, there's no reason something as mundane as compacting sand can't happen, you flaming autist.

That's because it didn't make sense for them to not learn those moves. This doesn't applies to Steelix and Shore Up
