Magnitude 8 right? That's double the baseline for High 6-C. Neutral for me, but looks okay at a glance.

We said no for Magnitute 10 right? What would the tiering have been if we used it?
Just out of curiousity.

Eh isn't Tyranitar magnitude 9 at the minimum via his own description.

| At or near total destruction ― severe damage or collapse to all buildings. Heavy damage and shaking extends to distant locations. Permanent changes in ground topography. |
| The quakes caused when it walks make even great mountains crumble and change the surrounding terrai. |
| If it rampages, it knocks down mountains and buries rivers. Maps must be redrawn afterward. |

Yeah, but it's a serious outlier, as it makes Tyranitar above Lugia.

I seriously wonder how the pokemon world can deal with Tyranitars anger management outbursts everytime its pissed....

Using 8 would be dishonest though via his own description they make it quite clear it's at the very least 9.0.The real cal howard said:

There is a thing such as hiding an outlier by using a low end.

Artificialy dowgrading it enough to not make it an outlier is pretty dishonest thing to do...The real cal howard said:
If it really is described as magnitude 9 and that is an outlier than thats too bad

The estimate of 8 comes from Dugtrio, Magnitude, & Earthquake.

That said, I could probably upgrade Legendaries to petatons level via scaling to the Z Move Tectonic Rage.
- 33,405

It's more of Tyranitar's particular feat being an outlier, but Dugtrio and the other Pokemon not being so....I think.

iirc wasn't lugia's feat immensely casual?

didn't we just say that we wouldn't scale the mole to it? Using a feat done by someone we don't scale to it feels weird

Dugtrio casually causes 7.5 earthquakes (given the 60 mile range) on what seems to be a side effect of its digging. Earthquake the move has more power than Magnitude 8 but less than Magnitude 9. (Magnitudes 9 and especially 10 scale to no one for the same reason as Tyranitar's feat)
- 16,927

Yes as IIRC, Lugia's feat is done with just simple wing flapping. It's as casual or even more casual than Tyranitars foot stomping mountains.WeeklyBattles said:
If the feat is extremely casual, then I don't see why Lugia still wouldnt scale above Magnitude 9 but thats just me. Going with a safe low end is always just as good an idea.

It's not just the Lugia thing. It's that 6-B non-Legendary Pokemon is an outlier in and of itself. They revolve around the max of various island feats. Discounting the outliers (and without the sake of a joke, some of them are out of context), it's well above their pay grade.

I'm just waiting for the day we realize that pokemon has more tier 4 feats than Digimon but we don't treat pokemon as legit while we do for Digimon ovo

The real cal howard said:
Cal, an outlier isn't a feat much higher than a previous feat, it's a feat that is contradicted by other feats (like lower feats done by characters that are much stronger than the one with the higher feat)

Given that quite some time has passed, this was widely accepted by quite a few members with no disagreements, with Kal's, LG's, & Dragon's support, and what seems to be support from Weekly & Saik (lmk if you're not in support), I'll start making the changes. Is that okay?

Neutral about the upgrades on ap or speed, but i will tell that once a Pokémon revision starts all the profiles that scale must be upgraded, including that top trainers that scale to this. The Relativistic speed that Howard applied was not applied to many other profiles while the Abomasnow feat was rejected by Kep, lastly Howard would need help because there are many profiles.
