PSR S3 W7 Power Rankings

PSR S3 W7 Power Rankings:

Preface: These Power Rankings are NOT reflective of Standings, and are based on how well you played based on your opponents and their teams versus how I feel everyone is gonna stack up as we approach playoffs. The coming weeks are gonna start featuring some playoff race analysis, so be ready for that.


Jimboomban Jigglypuffs: Pretty Standard Team Setup. By your track record. Still managed to make it different enough that your opponents are still in a scramble to keep up with you. I hated that Milotic. It was evil. A- for Teambuild, B+ for Match Execution.

Huntsville Heatran: Solid Offensive build this week, designed to be played fast-paced, and you didn’t disappoint. Pretty questionable play to throw your Zygarde away when you did, but played around the rest of Ranger’s team nicely. A- for Teambuild, B+ for Match Execution.

Realgam Tower Tyranitars: So you have a Koko-Kounter. Your opponent says “So what?”. Your cockiness when the Koko-Lucha combo got misplayed was what cost you this match. You allowed that Hawlucha get set up in your face, and THEN failed to believe that he’d carry a Fighting move not rhyming with Yump Flick, and THEN not thinking that he’d carry enough speed to win without seed. Son, you got Dunk’d on. B- for Teambuild, C+ for Match Execution.

Jax Jumbo Clawitzer: If you built with Dolphin this week. Fuck you. If not, have him explain what I mean. You played pretty well with your firepower, and didn’t really need to predict, except maybe the Krookodile kill (really solid play). Good job. B+ for Teambuild, A for Match Execution.

Earthquake Fish: Another great match against a high-ranking opponent! I’d love to drill into you for abusing Rachi so badly, but I can’t control the hax. Interesting teambuild, especially the Latios set. I’m looking forward to watching your playoff push. B+ for Teambuild, B+ for Match Execution.

HaZe Clan: I dunno what to say here man. For one, you simply kept trying to recover when you weren’t actually able to gain any HP back. You made many questionable switches into mons you needed to keep healthy, and just never seemed… involved. If you’d like, plenty of us would love to help you build or have mock battles with you as we head towards playoffs. C for Teambuild, C- for Match Execution.

One Percent Rattata: Dusclops was the MVP of this match. Yeah, I said it. Dusclops interrupted the Volcarona, took out the Scizor, and essentially neutered the Araquanid. That’s almost as good as incapacitating half of Amoeba’s team, pretty Impressive. Hydreigon was a great set as well, and you didn’t even get to use your new Ace, Kingdra. A for Teambuild, A- for Match Execution.

New England Mudkips: I’m chalking how you played this match up to a case of mistaken identity. It’s never a bad idea to have people helping you teambuild, in fact, most of the time its BETTER to be able to bounce ideas off of others. However, alongside of that, it’s still good to get some practice with the squad so YOU know how to play as it. B for Teambuild, C+ for Match Execution.

Team Snips: It seemed to me that for most of the match that you were underestimating exactly how POWERFUL Parahax’s team is, especially with Stakataka and Crawdaunt. However, a little bit of patience and a well-played Misgmagius set late, and it was all for naught. B+ for Teambuild, B for Match Execution.

RazorBlades: Well, this WAS against Dolphin, so expectations were low (I’m terribly sorry to say). However, the outcome was pleasantly surprising: You actually had a good fight. Scolipede is a bother to most teams, but the fact you were able to hang in there is nothing short of incredible. Might have played TOO fine at times, but made it a match by the end. B for Teambuild, B for Match Execution.

Midwest Mawiles: This week was just what the doctor ordered. Last time I wrote a Power Ranking Post, you had 1 Win and 4 Losses. Now that all of your matches have been caught up with, you sit at 3 Wins and 4 Losses. An offensive team needs an offensive Playstyle, and it looks like you finally got the ball rolling on that one. Looking better by the match, just keep the momentum up and you’ll be in playoffs. A- for Teambuild, B+ for Match Execution.

Wolverhampton Waddlers: Pretty interesting sets you had going-on for this week Meebs, but unfortunately, they weren’t enough to counter Blainster’s offensive power and tenacity. Araquanid could have been better if used in a different manner, but you were never allowed an opening for the entire match, and just couldn’t keep up in the end. C+ for Teambuild, C for Match Execution.

Murkrow Manor: Really cool teambuild this week, one that might have been able to get the victory if Kartana was what I think it was AND if you had actually taken the Ferrothorn Kill in front of you. Your Alomomola was too passive and your Offensive mons were played too greedily for you to really gain an edge in this matchup, and Kingk was able to simply outmaneuver you. B for Teambuild, C for Match Execution.

Pittsburgh Steelixes: 3 Matches later, and Welcome to Season 3 Eternalore! I’m sorry that this week ended up being so hectic for you, but I hope you enjoyed it. Your teambuild was what got you your victory this week. Prepping for you to be able to run Hawlucha OUTSIDE of Unburden and then playing to have it be able to set up properly was a fantastic read on your part, but that momentum was something you didn’t carry over into your other matches. Overall, B for Teambuild, B- for Match Execution.

New York Yanmegas: Still looking for that elusive first victory, but it’s hardly from a lack of trying. I find it funny that the one time you actually BRING heatproof Bronzong is the time that your opponent hits you with the Earthquake. Sorry about what happened to your Crawdaunt, it was probably your most important team member this week. B+ for Teambuild, B+ for Match Execution.

Blackpool Blastoise: You gotta remove yourself from falling into the pitfalls of running the same Clef and Cune every week, or this will be your fate EVERY TIME. Playing too passive and greedy isn’t getting you anywhere. If you want teambuild help or mock matches, just ask. B- for Teambuild, C for Match Execution.
