  • What a time to be alive. Zacian worse than zamazenta by a mile.
  • @JJ-kc2nx
    crazy how every single thing people predicted about reg g got completely flipped on its head. Oh terapagos is gonna suck? Top cut every single online tour so far. Miraidon's gonna be better than Koraidon? nuh-uh. I even remember some people saying Caly-Ice was gonna be mid and it's done nothing but ball so far. More people using Zamazenta over Zacian is wild as well, the list just goes on*
  • @scottcrysel
    i'd say probably the Reg G tier list i agree with the most. ready for the official ladder to open up so we can start getting some real testing in!
  • @jbenn6338
    Conversation about Groudons demise will be short lived. Hes bulky enough to be able to miss a move here or there with redirection and support and is so heavy heat crash is amazing. He’ll back back
  • @Eroil
    I watched like 3 of these ranking vids but now that joe is back you know i gotta watch another
  • @ravus9935
    So glad to see you back on YouTube! Loving all the Reg G content so far, keep up the great work!
  • Agree with this list for the most part. I think i would either move rayquaza down one or lunala up 1. those 2 don't belong in the same tier imo. Wide guard is too good this format combined with lunala's bulk, trickroom and meteor beam shenanigans. Rayquaza is just a little too easy to replace with dragonite while being able to run another restricted.
  • @FlygonkingVGC
    As someone who is running terapagos I have to say meowstic is an underrated partner. Prankster yawn counters caly ice, zamazenta, zacian, terapagos, eternatus, Groudon. Because it stops setup
  • @ohzenn
    Groudon is more bulky than Koraidon. I think it can work on teams that lean into their bulk (and Gravity ^^)
  • @JoeUX9
    QOTD: What's an underrated restricted you think is actually good?
  • @Eroil
    The way you said Eternatus it sounded to me like you're saying "a tornadous" lol
  • @Narutimake
    The one niche to use regular dialga over origin form is if you want to run heavy slam (which actually has some very cool calcs)
  • @FarhanH1
    Zam is so fun to use in this format! What are you gonna do, intimidate it? Agree with this entire tier list as a whole though I kinda feel like C-Shadow is above C-Ice but by a hair, if even. Anyways, I’m curious. How do you feel about this format as a whole? I feel like Reg F was more fun and I feel like G is less interesting to play
  • @MidianVGC
    Still strongly believe that Terapagos is the best restricted or at least in S tier. Other than that, I wouldnt change a thing on this tier list. it's pretty much flawless. If you wanna put Terapagos at the top of A tier, I guess that's fine.
  • Is calyrex ice rider really S tier? I guess both archtypes I run have good match ups into typical Ice rider teams so I never noticed how good it is.
