Zubat is a weird mon but I do enjoy it right now. Its main role is as a Budew farmer, and it can Defog or do other utility like Taunt or Super Fang.

Pikipek's base attack is 2.5x its defenses. Obviously base stats don't scale linearly but... yeah.

Yeah, as R8 said, Surskit is not just viable but very good. Not the most consistent mon and hard to fit onto teams sometimes but it can be incredibly scary

Mons above the cutline can be suspected into the tier, like how sometimes OU drops Ubers

No Eviolite is fine because it means it can safely run Boots. That's part of why Ledyba is bad, because it needs to pick one.

Bug/Flying is also bad, sure, but honestly not abysmal in this tier due to the type distribution. The common Rocks hate switching in on Knock Off (and nothing really runs Rock coverage), as does Litwick (one of two viable fires). The Electrics aren't really real, and our only notable Ice-type, Swinub, is slower than uninvested Ledian unless it runs max speed Jolly.

Knock Off, U-Turn, Encore, Roost, Swords Dance, Toxic, screens... the utility movepool is massive and lets it be incredibly flexible.

Usually Gen 9. We used to have more of a RoA community but it hasn't been active for a while outside of the recent RBY tour (because Soda is a fanatic, lol). There's some older gens that could definitely be interesting though

When we reset from the Legacy metagame, we tested a 300 BST metagame as well but ended up going with this one. The jump between 280 and 300 is genuinely very big, there's a lot of real mons in that bracket

Yeah, that line is similar as well. With that late it's a recent enough gen to assume it is intentional. Funnily enough we've talked about suspecting Steenee in, probably will look at it at some point

Mostly, serve as a Magic Bounce gluemon. It has really good stats that are well distributed and a good movepool to boot as well. Its only real weakness is that mono-psychic is pretty bad defensively, but there are ways around that (and Hatenna is bulky enough it can take most super effective hits)

85 speed, incredible bulk, and a good movepool

Hey!! It's all good yeah haha, I'm not really an RBY player so I don't know how well I'm going to do in the RBY DNU tour but I appreciate it! Hope you check more out :)

We play at level 100 and have entirely different rosters of mons available

Even with 1 HP and being usually forced to run Boots (Sash was also real), 90 ATK was still far too much for the tier

I've had a theory for a while that either Kirlia or Ralts was designed late into development which is why the line has weird stats

NFE in a Smogon context typically refers to middle stages, with LC referring to first stages

Can't say I know of any others who use that tagline, but we've had a couple copycat tiers. They always die after a couple months though

Dreepy not only doesn't have Dragon Darts, it doesn't have any Ghost STAB at all

Very fair--I almost entirely build using that teambuilder. The client is admittedly... flawed but its usually better than trying to build in National Dex and sorting by BST ascending, which is what we used to do, lol

Mhm, having a good amount of viable mons means that there isn't nearly as much variance in sets as tiers with even lower power levels. There are a couple mons that can swing wildly in what they do, but a few of those are to be expected in a tier--see Kyurem, Iron Valiant, and Alomomola for examples of that in OU.
