Tapu Tourney's Power Rankings Post Draft

Tapu Tourney's Power Rankigs-Post Draft

Disclaimer: These are my opinions on the draft pools that each player picked up. These will (hopefully) be updated each week, and depending on how well you do in each match, you may go up in the rankings or go down in the rankings. I do not hold back on critique, so be prepared for me to yell at everyone.

1. Long Island Landorus-How to draft a proper team: Here it is. Heavy on the stall side, but your offense still shows heavy hitters. Only one or two overall weaknesses, but you'll be getting some easy wins if you play it right.

2. Vermont Victini's-A slower team, but some super good picks throughout the entire draft. You've got a great Fire/water/grass trio, and then some. If any critique, I would say pick up some speed in future weeks.

3. Toronto Gardevoir-Overall, a balanced draft. Your lower tiers are still solid, with your top half being some insanely good pickups. If any critique, pick up a spikes user.

4. Poppin Poplio's-Overall balanced team, with some solid threats. A small bit top heavy, but balances out decently well. You have some weaknesses that can be seen, but are easily fixed. Only area I see is a lack of clerics.

5. Westminster Weaviles-A solid combo or two in your picks, and a good Z crystal grabbed as well. However, you could use a good cleric and something to help with your huge weaknesses that could lose you a match one week.

6. New England Patrats-Despite being a slower team, you've got an incredibly good core, with some amazing tier 1 pickups. Advice would be to grab a defogger or spinner, and another cleric.

7. Unadilla Unbounds-You've got a few odd picks, and some obvious weaknesses, however you've got a good core of picks you grabbed early. Pick up some setters and rapid spinners, and you could have an extremely solid team.

8. Cloud9-Overall, some huge weaknesses that can be taken apart and used to crush you. That's only if they outspeed you, which is where you can shine. Grab a cleric if you need it, otherwise I wish you the best of luck.

9. Chicago Cubchoos-Overall, an interesting draft so far. A good combo in the form of your mega and TTar, and your Fire/Water/Grass combo is solid too. However, you do have a few weaknesses that get severely exploited, so be careful. I'd pick up a cleric as well.

10. Kuno-Top heavy, with some crazy good mons up there. However, You need to make some trades ASAP or drop stuff to fix your holes in your team. I'm seriously hoping this team can get better, because if it does, it'll jump in the ranks and win quite a few matches. I got hope for this team.

11. New England Mudkips-You're mono water. Not much to say. Huge weaknesses on the team (some obvious, others not), but you have a scary team if put into the right situation.

12. KitKat's Club-Overall, some fast picks and some solid tier 1 pickups. However, some blaring weaknesses that you should figure out how to counter, and you could use a cleric or 2, as well as a spike setter for some more hazards.

13. Pistoia Piplups-Overall, a good core for your picks. Could use some speed to overcome some of the other faster teams, and could use a spikes/toxic spikes user, but otherwise a decently balanced draft. Your bottom half seems to be below average, however.

14. Virbank City Victory-Overall, some good individual pokemon that can be seen as the MVP's of your team. However, there is not a lot of synergy between your picks, and some picks I am severely questioning your sanity while picking them. Great coverage for rocks/spikes and defoggers, but I would reccomend looking into replacing your lower tier picks that don't synergize well with the rest of your team.

15. Indianapolis Infernapes-Overall, an okay team. Your bottom half makes me question if you got sniped a lot, and you could use another defogger or spike user. Last piece of advice: pick up some pokemon that can cover the huge weakness you have overall.

16. The Originals-You sniped the Hawlucha from the other Tapu owners, which is great. You picked up Rotom Heat too, which gives your a solid Electric and Fire type. However, some of your picks do not fit your team, and make it look very odd on paper. Advice: Grab more than one rocker, 1-2 clerics, and fix up your speed
