Then why is everyone talking like Garchomp will smash to pieces OU like it did pre-Platinum?It is being tested.
-Heracross will be given a test just like any other Pokemon. Just because your theorymon tells you Heracross is broken doesn't mean it is. Remember how broken Dugtrio was going to be? That certainly came true.As for Heracross, just because it's so outclassed in OU doesn't mean it should be UU at all. If Heracross was ever dropeed down there he would destroy it; just look at what Yanmega did, and it's crap compared to the stag (or whatever sort of beetle a Heracross was made to resemble).
I also think Registeel may become a suspect soon. It and perhaps Milotic and Mismagius, considering the folks down at Smogon get bored. Those three are extremely painful and tiring to go up against...
Scizor going to UBER is VERY unlikely. Unlike the days of Garchomp, Scizor not only has checks but things that can pretty much counter him VERY well and they aren't gimmicks. Garchomp in his old days, unlike scizor who is often an annoyance, came in and destroyed the whole teams for those that didn't ALWAYS have garchomp checking pokemons. That's why it wasn't an exaggeration when people carried lead, garchomp, garchomp counter, garchomp counter's counter, and what not in their teams (almost always). Scizor, imho, can only be nominated for its support characteristics and I sitll don't believe it's enough to make him UBER. Just because he's used well in UBERS also is pretty irrelevant as to how well he does in the OU meta (if you were also thinking about that). Well that's my opinion. lol.I predict Scizor will be a suspect and be moved to ubers. No single pokemon should be able to warp the entire OU metagame like Scizor has, and its impact on the metagame is equal to, and possibly greater than, Garchomp's right now.
As for Heracross, just because it's so outclassed in OU doesn't mean it should be UU at all. If Heracross was ever dropeed down there he would destroy it; just look at what Yanmega did, and it's crap compared to the stag (or whatever sort of beetle a Heracross was made to resemble).

Cresselia, Heracross, and PZ are all debatable in UU. Cresselia walls everything and its brother, while Heracross and PZ are hard-hitting sweepers. One can never say, but I see Heracross and Cresselia becoming BL. PorygonZ may have some trouble dealing with Chansey and Registeel.Yay. First post. I am new to Smogon, not new to competitive battling.
My predictions 40-50 OU.
I know top 50 is NOT OU, 40-50 is the right part of the OU list to speculate about. Speculating about Salamence or Scizor in UU is pointless. I will state what tier they will probably be in in three months.
Roserade: Will go up, I don't see it going back to UU anytime soon. OU.
Tentacruel: Will remain OU probably. OU.
Hippowdon: Same as above. OU.
Dusknoir: UU soon. With Rotom-A increasing, Dusknoir in UU is a realistic idea. UU.
Ninjask: Could be UU when going down too fast. UU.
Porygon-Z: I see it in UU sweeping with Agility. SubPetaya? UU.
Cresselia: UU soon. Very broken. UU.
Heracross: UU soon. I don't see its usage going up. UU.
Umbreon: Could come back to OU every new tier list, then go down again next time. It just makes it or it just doesn't. UU.
Crobat: With Super Fang increasing, Crobat in OU seems realistic. OU.
Please give your opinion on those Pokémon. Will they be UU or OU next tier list?

Hyper Beam pory-z is rarely seen ever in OU, (I've never seen it executed personally tbh) I doubt that would be a threat as there are simply too many ghosts that can set up on it in UU or any stat upper tbh, if porygon ever makes it to UU imo a vast majority would use specs tri attack with a pursuiter or two. Or simply some NP+3 attacker set. I do however see porygon-z being dropped down simply because it just doesn't fit in well with the current OU metagame.I also see Heracross and Cresselia in BL. If I played UU (I play OU and Uber), I would definitely use Cresselia. Porygon-Z deals with Blissey in OU by Hyper Beam. Adaptibility Tri Attack/Hyper Beam might be enough against Chansey. I see Registeel walling Porygon-Z.

Honestly, have you ever heard of things like Swellow, Moltres, Scyther? They all outspeed and OHKO. Then you have a whole bunch of Fire-types - Moltres again, Arcanine, Houndoom, Blaziken (Speed Tie) and the Psychic types - Alakazam and Espeon leap to mind.^I realize this, but all I can think of to check Hera in UU is Weezing and Aerial Ace Nidoqueen. Obviously I can't predict what will happen, but it seems that Hera will be much too difficult to deal with, and with that it departs to BL.
