(OLD) Viability Rankings

If what you said was true about why most of the other Nuclears where in C Listing, then how did N-Gellin, N-Barand, and N-Eshouten get in B tiering? What gives them that edge that makes them somewhat viable?

Gellin-N has high speed with Chlorophyll, Eshouten-N has high speed naturally, and Barand-N gets Tough Claws and the ability to hold the Stick, which increases it's damage output considerably.  However, I don't know if there is any way to get Tough Claws on Barand-N, and even then, the damage increase still probably wouldn't even be necessary.  I'd move it to C-rank, but as I mentioned earlier, I currently have no way of editing this post.

Fair points, my fellow competitive enthusiast! I'll take it into consideration when I write my Gellin guide... eventually.

I should also probably mention that I currently have no way of editing the post atm. This forum has a 24 image limit, so I made multiple posts in order to fit all of the mini sprites. Unfortunately, all of the posts merged into a single post, and whenever I go to edit the post, the forum does not let me save changes because I am breaking the image limit

@CodySP, maybe you could do anything about that.

There's no way for a moderator to split one post into multiple, and the image limit is there for a reason, but maybe admins have a privilege I don't have. Either way, it's obviously a bug that multiple consecutive posts are automerged even when they are over the limit.

[CodySP]

Unfortunately there's not much I can do from this point either. The easiest suggestion I have would be to trim some images out of your post and then post new replies. Your post order would be a little wonky, but you would be able to go back and save your changes.

Ah, and because of this situation, I've gone ahead and disabled the Auto-merge for registered groups. That way something like this won't happen again

EDIT1: After getting out of Admin mode, I took the time to actually read the thread. There's a lot of cool information in here and you've presented it in a way that's fun to read. +1

Nice to see that you guys are hard at work! Hopefully we don't give you too much problems, though...

so, for the SS ranks, I get Inflagetah and I-M (super-fast priority users with power boosts) as well as archilles and its mega (drought and one of the best offensive typings in the game), but what'd the deal with syrentide-Mega?

Kinda sad to see Haagross so far down the ranks because it's one of my favorite Uranium 'Mons (4th favorite to be exact). I get why though, it isn't very good type-wise against most high rank 'Mons, has low speed, its special attack is out-classed, and that 4x weakness to ground really sealed its fate. It could have been a good fairy counter but S51A-T is a much better fairy killer, the only fairies it may struggle against would be Oblivicorn and Seryntide/M-Seryntide. I'm glad to see Beliaddon so high up though, he's my favorite Uranium 'Mon and with attack like his I'm not surprised he's good at all.

M-Syrentide is considered amazing because it's an incredibly bulky water type with access to an incredibly powerful STAB move in Pixielate Hyper Voice.  Familiar with CroCune type sets?  Stick that on M-Syrentide, but with Hyper Voice instead of Scald/Surf.  Nothing's immune to it (barring HA Beliaddon, who gets destroyed by water moves anyways if you decide to pack that instead), it's got a much higher base power than those water moves, and 98/128/158 defenses with full physcally defensive EV investment is bulky enough that it can setup reliably after forcing the opponent to switch as long as the Nuclear types and incredibly powerful grass and electric types have been defeated already (and you can't kill it with stall at all without taunt).  The vast majority of players find that combination of good traits in a bulky water really difficult to deal with.

And even without the crocune set, M-Syrentide is still an incredibly bulky water type with a lot of power. It's pretty much the epitome of being a bulky water type in Uranium.
