Yes. You can use a Pokémon in its tier and any tier above it. A Pokémon’s tier determined by how much a pokemon is used in that tier used enough it goes into that teir, not used enough in its current tier it drops down a tier. If a Pokémon is considered to good for a tier it is placed in that BL for that tier (which is effectively that same as being in the teir above but that Pokémon hasn’t been used enough in that higher tier to be considered that tier)

Gaining a Resist to Fairy seems perfectly reasonable, considering how few types resist it.

Less types should resist Bug as well.

At least we got rock ogrepon and h-arcanine so far this gen. Apparently that new legendary is rock as well? Although I haven't seen concrete proof of that yet. With all the broken shit and updates they've been giving older pokemon this generation, I'm hoping Aero gets the classic brave bird/head smash combo everyone always talks about

Same can be said for Aurorus and Power Gem.
At least it rightfully got Aurora Veil in gen 8.

ok I still don't get this. we talk all the fucking time about the game being built around Double battles, where? I see it in VGC sure, but why outside of spinoffs in the GAMECUBE ERA is it not heavily implemented in single player? it's obvious that it is built around, and it is more dynamic for gameplay so I cannot imagine why it's all mostly single player in every modern game up to this point.

It's not built "around double battles". It's built around the actual game.

tired of Double battle VGC fags shitting on single battles without talking about this in length. if doubles is the intended competitive format stop lying to the kiddies by making the main game's campaign single battles.

The money is barely worth it when you have to consider the travel and lodging expenses needed in the first place, never mind actually getting in to begin with.

this is what fanfic starers sound like
they behave this way because they don't actually have any real interest in playing PvP, they just want to play the toddler campaign then stare at the tier updates every month so they can pretend they're knowledgeable about the game

it's quite bizarre to see

One thing /vp/ will never accept is that the games are designed with BOTH singles and doubles in mind since around Gen 4.
Moves like Sticky Web and Items like HDBs are pretty clear indication that GameFreak still designs the games around singles. On the flip side they also of course make abilities like Commander that are Doubles exclusive.

Smogon was already on thin ice before but after banning dynamax it was clear they are troons that refuse to move on from gen 5 OU. Anyone that takes them seriously deserves to get laughed at.
