Hiiiiii Ikaaaaaaru. :3 Anyway...J4 really isn't any sort of broken - the issue is that he used to mix so well with Taric [both can give aura Armor that is around 50 at max ranks for both skill] and that he has a huge mobility alongside the lockdown he can afford in the same skills. In my opinion, it's the same general thing as Malphite ult with a wall at the end of it to hit people with that takes 3 buttons, not one. This meta is all about mobility; and not knowing when J4 is going to come out of nowhere scares more people than it should.

Heyo Poe. I'm going to try to accompany some parts of what you were going for here, and make some suggestive changes according to that. First off - congrats on using a team not in your nature and using a sand team not according to the stereotypical nature. The first is important to show growth and the latter is something that people forget can happen, so I'm glad to see both. Tyranitar - a Banded set is fearsome. Maxing attack like you did shows a rediculous power and is wonderful. The first suggestion I have is to analyze your moves power. You have Stone Edge selected - with STAB, it's a 150 power move. With Fire Punch against Steel/Grass types, that's a 150 power move. True, Rock doesn't work well against Steel, but you switch straight to Magnezone. The moves have the same effectiveness against Grass types, with Bug/Ice getting hit harder by Stone Edge. Fire Punch really only hits Steel effectively for you, so you can do without the move. Adding in Crunch would give you a viable option to stay in on the opponent and still hit them with a STAB move. Superpower really wouldn't do much in coverage for you, since Rock/Steel/Ice is already taken care of, and Earthquake would provide somewhat repetitive coverage as well. That's mostly a flavor pick for specific Pokemon that give you trouble. Otherwise, I would check the EVs to make sure that you're taking minimal potential damage on the special side while still taking decent HP EV's overall. Starmie - I'm going to echo a little of what's been said here but with a small change. Starmie looks to be the answer for the opposing rain, but that seems to be only for Politoed and other applicable water types. I can see Thunder fitting in here. The only thing that comes to mind for Psychic however, is Toxicroak, and that doesn't really feel like it warrents a moveslot over Rapid Spin, which Toxic feels like it could be more widely applicable in rain minus the Hydration ability. You have enough to take care of Toxicroak in other Pokemon I would think. The only reason is to give assurance to Ditto, but if you feel it's not worth it, that's fine. Gengar - first, the importable is missing a line for him. Second, he seems to have a good set, although Focus is iffy to take that potential advantage from you if the opponent misplays, but overall it seems odd for a lead set. I understand that you do not want weather to be your lead, but did you analyze what you really get out of it? I'm not to sure you get a lot. Ditto could move there in order to get that copy onto opposing stealth rockers, and save sash, and on top of that too save a slot from not needing rapid spin as bad. Alternatively, you could send Starmie there if you forsee rain leads being an issue and want to stop them swiftly off of misplays. If you have a reason that it works, I would like to know. If you have any questions about what I said, feel free to ask on the server. I see some small stuff otherwise, but that's nitpicking. Good job on the team.

No worries, I'm sick so I probably need to take a minute to understand things better ^^

I wouldn't go as far to say not to use certain things in the tiers - I'm not sure if you're flat out saying "no" or you're implying to think twice to make sure that's what you really want. I've used Pineco, Exeggcute, Mantyke, Oddish, Numel, and more in the tier, just because I wanted to. I didn't slap it on there with the same set and expect it to do identical though - I aimed things around it to make it work, and it does. I wish I had the replays of such stuff still haha. I definitely advocate using things with more of an intelligent approach if you have the experience to do so, because it is tricky but fun and rewarding. I just try to look at it as another option to add overall, not an alternative to whatever I'm using at the moment. Good post though, enjoyed seeing it.
