Well, regidrago has the powers of all dragon types, including dragon type arceus. So scaling chain checks out

Arceus literally created dragon types and everything. The statement is vague af and "powers" Isn't "attack potency".

No, he shared power with them. It is possible for someone to create something, then that thing grows stronger over time

All the powers of all dragon pokemon include their AP. To say AP isn't power is incredibly absurd

Hell no, powers =/= power. And there's no feats to put regidrago at 2-A.

Why is powers =/= power? Regidrago can harm Cinderace, who can survive hits from Eternatus who I already explained is > UBs > Original spirit. All low 2-C and above feats require a statement, if you think these statements are hyperbole I can say everything tier 2 for Pokemon comes from feats backed up by statements, and I can say they're invalid

Your explanation is garbage and is based on your own headcanons which haven't been ever accepted. You ub argument has been countered like 50 times already and is bullshit in on itself. Not to mention Eternatus, especially a wild one, has never shown to be above ultra beasts.

If you're gonna try and push through whatever is in your head then make a CRT and stop annoying everyone with your crackpot scaling or else I'll deadass report you

Prove its garbage

You never countered that

I told you why Eternatus scales above that. Also you're being rude for no reason

It stinks of wank and the fact that you completely ignore the concept of outliers and PIS

You never countered that
I did and you just did what you always do, stop responding when you know you cannot respond

I don't care what you said. I say he doesn't and he's at best High 6-A.
I am being rude because I'm sick of you making Outliers and PIS out to be something usable.

why is it wank, why is it PIS or outlier

You just said "no feats" but the statement is fine

because it is a feat never replicated in potency and can be performed by pokemon who haven't shown any feat beyond tier 8-7. This is literally the basics of outlier.
Not to mention that shiz like the whole moonlight ordeal can be easily explained away by light manipulation and such.
Most fights where shiz like a "trained" swinub hurts a 2-A deity when he hasn't shown anything besides fighting a pokemon who has 6-B feats at best are clearly outliers/PIS. Using that as basis is completely illogical.
 
I'm sick of the King dude.

If he's not derailing a thread with nonsense, he's trying to push pis and outliers as valid feats.

Seriously what kind of logic does he run on anyway. Swears if everyone agrees to go right, he'd choose left

The statement is more than enough, and there's no need for them to have other feats when 1 is enough. The tier 7 feats don't contradict this

Swinub fighting someone who has 6-B feats doesn't mean he's 6-B. Giratina has fought pokemon with no feats beyond tier 9. Kyurem doesn't even have feats above this without scaling

Nah it ain't

That just means there's more outliers.
Legendaries scaling to non-CT legendaries is overall fair game.
 
because they f up they scaling and surpass everything they've done before by an infinite margin
Ok, explain with scans why it "f up they scaling" and how does surpassing everything they do by an infinite margin matter? The lake trio haven't done anything 2-A or above tier 9, but you rate it as 2-B to 2-A. So does cresselia. No Ultra Beast has anything above Tier 8 but you rate them as 3-C or high 3-A

Wait, you were saying until now that Ultra Beasts are superior to the Creation Trio and the Original One without giving any explanation, and now you say the opposite and that they don't have any feats?

Ultra beasts fight Tapus, tapus clashed with Solgaleo and Lunala (Solgaleo ate the sun) and Necrozma did the 3-C/High 3-A feats. They're in the same game and they overall scale. Lake trio have countered 2-B/2-A blasts before and they have ingame lore that suggests that they are on a level slightly below the CT.
Cresselia and Darkrai i don't like them in tier 2 but Darkrai has a 2-C feat so at the very least its consistent that they're tier 2.

Meanwhile no normal pokemon has a reasonable scaling chain like this and they are consistently tier 7

Those are scaling feats. Swinub cefeated a tier 2, so he's tier 2

The pokemon that defeated Darkrai were going to die at the end of Pokepark shown here, implying Darkrai's durability and striking power with other attacks don't scale to it

Lake trio have countered 2-B/2-A blasts before

So has pryce's swinub, except he took no damage

they are consistently tier 7

Doing tier 7 feats with ease isn't a limit. Pokemon have more tier 9 feats than tier 7
 
at this point XXKING has ignored my main points. I can see clear signs that he specifically replying to the parts that aren't the main argument, ignoring that CT, Darkrai and Cresselia and UBs have specific lore supporting their cause and jumping straight to the statements that simply support their cause. The only good argument was for Darkrai and even then that just means that PMD logic is used there and pokemon there specifically are following JRPG rules of becoming as strong as the plot needed them to be. Darkrai being capable of fusing universes and the darkvoid ignoring dura are two separate things.

Anyways, i will stop replying now for the simple reason that i don't want to argue with someone who specifically nitpicks my words while ignoring the more important parts of the argument. This isn't a concession, im just gonna stop putting up with this BS.
 
Also the statement doesn't even say Type:Null is above Mythical Pokemon, it just says that it "aims the power of Pokémon that are passed down by myths"
