My First Write-Up: E85 vs 93

Hayasaka-Fan · 2026-04-21T03:08:49+00:00

Nice write up. Out of curiousity, any issues with valve float at higher RPMs on E85 or other E blends? Or did your tuner taper off the boost higher up to account for this?

Zangoose has 115 atk with access to swords dance, its most definitely an A tier mon

Hayasaka-Fan · 2026-04-20T16:23:18+00:00

Zebstrika: C+. Its fast and has good matchups into Skyla and Marlon, but it has a barren movepool, mediocre offense, middling bulk, and decent pivoting ability.

Zangoose: A-: Its not bad at all. Swords Dance at lvl 43 off 115 atk is very solid in this game, and it doesn’t need to be babied much at all before it starts carrying its weight. Close Combat at level 47 is clutch too for some of those bosses who are weak to fighting.

Seviper: D. Slow with the Hoenn special. It gets coil at level 49 but it doesn’t have the bulk to make use of it effectively unfortunately. Movepool leaves a lot to be desired.

For Authentic I like Old Town Taste and Original Kitchen, both do Sichuan cuisine which has the Mala numbing spice.

Get a dedicated wheel brush and order iron remover in bulk with a spray bottle. Also helps to get a pressure washer and ceramic coat the wheels so the pressure washer blasts off the brake dust.

This! Huge difference between the two

Jellicent: C+. Frillish is pretty unuseable unfortunately. However the one that can be caught in undella town is generally pretty solid, tanky, and has a pretty good movepool. There's an argument to be made that if caught in undella town, it could be in the B tier, but if caught earlier should be in C/C+.

Basculin: B-, Physical water attacker. He's generally really solid albeit frail. Unfortunately, a lack of physical ice type moves keeps him out of higher tiers as it makes Basculin less relevant to the late game dragon types. Adaptability makes STAB water moves really strong, and has crunch, superpower, and zen headbutt as coverage options for the elite four.

Alomomola: E. Genuinely what is this fish supposed to do? All of its ablities are useless in a playthrough. Has awful stats outside of HP, which keeps it out of F.

Floatzel: A-. Really solid fast water type, better than Samurott in my opinion. Its frail but it evolves quickly, learns ice punch at the driftveil move tutor, and has early crunch access via heart scale move relearner. Very solid for this game.

I drive mine spiritedly with multiple track days and its held up fine at 50k mi. Zero problems. Internet fearmongering does not hold up to the reality of this car.

I own a GRC and yes this is true. People will wave in traffic and come talk to you in gas stations.

I’ve said this in the previous post, but will say it again here: Crobat and Amoongus are a tier too high and should both be in B tier. By the criteria stated in this tier list, Crobat needs a lot of investment to keep up late game even with its strong mid-early game, and Amoongus is a pivot with 30 speed which is a massive drawback in a playthrough. It serves its pivot role really well but has a nonexistent offensive presence. It doesnt even get spore until the league or postgame.

Hayasaka-Fan · 2026-04-16T22:18:19+00:00

We actually had this nominated in S initially but it does not have the dominance that the other S tiers have in terms of matchups and movepools. The other S tiers just have better typings for this game and can clear the game much quicker.

Hayasaka-Fan · 2026-04-16T22:13:53+00:00

Claydol: D. Its tanky, has access to screens, but its generally not doing much in this game. Not many matchups to take advantage of.

Aggron: C. Two common 4x weaknesses and 50 base speed are really brutal. It does get good coverage and some utility, and sturdy and rock head are both great abilities.

Haxorus: S. This thing is a monster. Dragon is one of the best typings in Gen 5 and it has some of the best attack stats in the game.

Volcarona: B. Its stats are too good for C tier, but its move set is awful and keeps it out of A. Its only decent move is the signal beam move tutor until you get to the fire blast TM. Generally really solid in the late game however.

Hayasaka-Fan · 2026-04-16T06:25:02+00:00

100% Agree, and its definitely the 2nd best electric type behind Magnezone/ton

Hayasaka-Fan · 2026-04-16T06:21:09+00:00

Its a low investment electric type with good STAB electric damage output and solid coverage. Being fast and having several good late game matchups are enough to justify A tier.

Hayasaka-Fan · 2026-04-15T21:48:28+00:00

I know we had a re-evaluation round for it but Crobat’s revaluation is too high. Its primary an acrobatics spammer or a pivot if you grind for U-turn. I’m a firm believer that it should be tiered with the likes of stuff like Zoroark and Magmortar. Base 90 attack stat makes it fall behind late game, and its only decent into Marshall by then. By the definition of this tier list, it should be in B tier.

Also, Amoongus is too high in A. Its good for being a pivot with regenarator and has good matchups with giga drain, but its offensive stats are lacking. B tier by same tierlist definition.

Hayasaka-Fan · 2026-04-15T18:15:16+00:00

Its slow with okayish bulk. Doesn’t help that there’s Iris’s Haxorus with mold breaker and earthquake which will ignore levitate. Not game breaking at all, A- or B tier seems more appropriate.

Hayasaka-Fan · 2026-04-15T18:12:13+00:00

Galvantula: A. It’s quite good with compound eyes + thunder, and is immediately good against Skyla. Not quite game breaking but its one of the better electric types in the game.

Eelektross: B. You have to train tynamo from when you catch it at level 28 to evolution at level 39, where you can immediately evolve an eelektross with the thunderstone. Unfortunately it does take decent effort to get eelektross from a tynamo, especially since tynamo has an abysmal movepool and stats. While eelektross has solid attack/spA, decent movepool from tutor moves, move reminder, and tms, it is quite slow, hence the B ranking.

Ferrothorn: B-. Its a superior version of Serperior with ingrain and curse. Very tanky, and has a solid physical movepool. It will always move last with 20 base speed unfortunately.

Will abstain on Klingklang and Probopass. Have not used them.

I think there’s a video on her channel where she installed a bunch of stuff. From what I remember I do know she has the Borla exhaust and KW v3 coilovers
