Here is our tier list. If you have any pokemon you wish to discuss, you can make a topic about it in this subforum supporting your argument. Uber Pokemon in Uber are found to be too much for the metagame to handle. These pokemon make the OU metagame too centralized or unplayable. Keep in mind this is means a pokemon at its maximum playing potential, meaning special items are taken into account when The following pokemon are classified as Uber: - Arceus - Darkrai - Deoxys - Deoxys A - Deoxys D - Deoxys S - Dialga - Garchomp - Giratina (another form) - Giratina (origin form) - Groudon - Ho-oh - Kyogre - Latias - Latios - Lugia - Manaphy - Mew - Mewtwo - Palkia - Rayquaza - Shaymin (sky form) - Wobbuffet (23) OverUsed (OU) OU represents the more common and more powerful pokemon in the standard metagame. On our tier list, OU is not completely determined by usage; usage is simply further proof that a pokemon is very powerful. This is why certain pokemon with less usage can be OU compared to pokemon with higher usage. The following pokemon are classified as OU: - Aerodactyl - Azelf - Blissey - Breloom - Bronzong - Celebi - Cresselia - Electivire - Flygon - Forretress - Gallade - Gengar - Gliscor - Gyarados - Heatran - Heracross - Hippowdon - Infernape - Jirachi - Kingdra - Lucario - Machamp - Mamoswine - Metagross - Porygon2 - Rhyperior - Rotom (appliance forms) - Salamence - Scizor - Skarmory - Snorlax - Starmie - Suicune - Swampert - Tentacruel - Togekiss - Tyranitar - Vaporeon - Weavile - Yanmega - Zapdos - Latias (35) Borderline (BL) Borderline is a tier for pokemon that aren't powerful enough for OU but too powerful for UU. It is a ban list, and not necessarily a balanced tier. As such, most people don't do "BL battles". The following pokemon are classified as BL: - Absol - Abomasnow - Alazkazam - Ambipom - Arcanine - Azumarill - Blaziken - Charizard - Crobat - Donphan - Dragonite - Drapion - Dugtrio - Dusknoir - Empoleon - Entei - Espeon - Exeggutor - Feraligtr - Floatzel - Gardevoir - Hariyama - Honchkrow - Houndoom - Jolteon - Lickilicky - Ludicolo - Magmortar - Marowak - Medicham - Mesprit - Milotic - Miltank - Mismagius - Moltres - Ninjask - Pinsir - PorygonZ - Raikou - Rampardos - Regice - Regigigas - Regirock - Registeel - Roserade - Sceptile - Shaymin (land form) - Shiftry - Slaking - Slowbro - Slowking - Smeargle - Spiritomb - Staraptor - Steelix - Tangrowth - Tauros - Torterra - Typhlosion - Umbreon - Ursaring - Uxie - Venusaur - Weezing - Wynaut - Zangoose (65) Underused (UU) Underused is a tier that tries to make use of pokemon not good enough for standard OU. Note that some pokemon in UU are viable in UU, but are not moved up since to BL since they don't overpower the UU metagame. UU is a balanced tier. The following pokemon are classified as UU: - Aggron - Altaria - Ampharos - Armaldo - Articuno - Banette - Bastiodon - Bellossom - Bibarel - Blastoise - Cacturne - Camerupt - Claydol - Clefable - Cloyster - Cradily - Crawdaunt - Dodrio - Drifblim - Dunsparce - Electrode - Exploud - Fearow - Flareon - Froslass - Gabite - Gastrodon - Glaceon - Glalie - Golduck - Golem - Gorebyss - Granbull - Grumpig - Hitmonchan - Hitmonlee - Hitmontop - Huntail - Hypno - Jumpluff - Jynx - Kangaskhan - Kingler - Lanturn - Lapras - Leafeon - Linoone - Lopunny - Lunatone - Luxray - Manectric - Mantine - Meganium - Minun - Mr. Mime - Muk - Nidoking - Nidoqueen - Ninetales - Octillery - Omastar - Persian - Phione - Pikachu - Plusle - Politoed - Poliwrath - Primeape - Probopass - Purugly - Quagsire - Qwilfish - Raichu - Rapidash - Relicanth - Rotom (normal form) - Sandslash - Scyther - Seviper - Sharpedo - Shedinja - Shuckle - Skuntank - Solrock - Sudowoodo - Swellow - Torkoal - Toxicroak - Venomoth - Vespiquen - Victreebel - Vileplume - Wailord - Walrein - Xatu (95) NeverUsed (NU) NU pokemon are in a tier below UU. The pokemon in this tier are competitively bad pokemon, not viable anywhere else. It is a playable, balanced metagame. The following pokemon are classified as NU: - Arbok - Ariados - Beautifly - Beedrill - Butterfree - Carnivine - Castform - Chatot - Cherrim - Chimecho - Clamperl - Corsola - Delcatty - Delibird - Dewgong - Ditto - Dustox - Farfetch’d - Furret - Girafarig - Illumise - Kecleon - Kricketune - Ledian - Lumineon - Luvdisc - Noctowl - Magcargo - Masquerain - Mawile - Mightyena - Mothim - Pachirisu - Parasect - Pelliper - Pidgeot - Raticate - Sableye - Seaking - Spinda - Stantler - Sunflora - Swalot - Trapinch - Tropius - Unown - Volbeat - Whiscash - Wigglytuff - Wormadam [Grass] - Wormadam [Ground] - Wormadam [Steel] (52) ---- Our NFE policy is that any NFE not included in this tier list is in the same tier as its evolution. For pokemon with more than one evolution on the tier list (ie; Eevee or Snorunt), the NFE is in whatever the lowest tier an evolution is in. This means Eevee is UU even though Vaporeon is OU, because Glaceon, Leafeon, and Flareon are UU. Yes, this means pokemon like Magikarp and Shroomish are OU. Get over it. |
