THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR DISTINGUISHING UBERS AND OU POKEMON. DON'T SUGGEST OU/BL POKEMON TO BE PUT ON THE LIST. ONLY DISCUSS POKEMON THAT ARE UP FOR DEBATE BETWEEN UBER AND OU. DOING OTHERWISE WILL RESULT IN AN INFRACTION


Any PMs sent to moderators about the tier list will be ignored.
Discuss OU and Uber tiers only.
Do not suggest changes to the list without providing reasoning.


Uber:
Mewtwo
Mew
Wobbuffet
Lugia
Ho-Oh
Latias
Latios
Kyogre
Groudon
Rayquaza
Deoxys (all forms)
Dialga
Palkia
Giratina
Manaphy
Darkrai
Arceus

Debated uber:
Tyranitar

OU:
Slowbro
Gengar
Weezing
Starmie (4 gens in a row!)
Gyarados
Aerodactyl
Dragonite
Heracross
Skarmory
Donphan
Blissey
Celebi
Swampert
Breloom
Salamence
Metagross
Jirachi
Infernape
Bronzong
Garchomp
Lucario
Hippowdon
Weavile
Magnezone
Rhyperior
Tangrowth
Electivire
Togekiss
Gliscor
Porygon-Z
Dusknoir
Azelf
Heatran
Cresselia

Things you'd expect in OU but I'd say are BL right now:
Alakazam
Marowak
Zapdos
Suicune
Raikou
Gallade

Eh, making a tier list is quite hard. It'll take every single experienced battle on this site :/ It isn't a single person job beause everyone has different opinions D:

Linking to other forums is against the rules here. I'll just go ahead and put the first post in that thread in a quote for you.

MKDS_PoKE August 14th, 2007 6:41 AM

Lol. Funny how you'd just copy and paste the tier list that ISN'T EVEN FINISHED.

Iceman3k August 14th, 2007 6:46 AM

List removed due to mass amounts of disapproval.

Now here's my idea of a full D/P Tier list. Take note that these are my assumptions as to how the metagame will turn out and that I'm not using any sources whatsoever:

Uber: Mewtwo, Mew, Wobbuffet, Lugia, Ho-oh, Wynaut, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Deoxys, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Darkrai, Arceus

OU (High Tier): Dugtrio, Alakazam, Gengar, Weezing, Mr. Mime, Gyarados, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Snorlax, Zapdos, Dragonite, Forretress, Steelix, Heracross, Skarmory, Houndoom, Donphan, Blissey, Raikou, Suicune, Tyranitar, Celebi, Swampert, Ninjask, Medicham, Claydol, Milotic, Salamence, Metagross, Regice, Jirachi, Infernape, Garchomp, Lucario, Weavile, Magnezone, Rhyperior, Electivire, Gliscor, Porygon-Z, Dusknoir, Azelf, Cresselia, Manaphy

OU (Low Tier): Venusaur, Charizard, Pikachu, Ninetales, Arcanine, Machamp, Tentacruel, Slowbro, Dodrio, Cloyster, Exeggutor, Cubone, Marowak, Chansey, Jynx, Tauros, Lapras, Aerodactyl, Articuno, Moltres, Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Crobat, Jumpluff, Espeon, Umbreon, Scizor, Ursaring, Kingdra, Miltank, Entei, Sceptile, Blaziken, Ludicolo, Swellow, Gardevoir, Breloom, Slaking, Flygon, Zangoose, Armaldo, Regirock, Registeel, Torterra, Empoleon, Staraptor, Roserade, Rampardos, Bastiodon, Floatzel, Ambipom, Mismagius, Honchkrow, Bronzong, Spiritomb, Hippowdon, Drapion, Abomasnow, Tangrowth, Magmortar, Togekiss, Yanmega, Leafeon, Glaceon, Mamoswine, Gallade, Heatran, Regigigas, Phione, Shaymin

UU: Blastoise, Butterfree, Beedrill, Pidgeot, Raticate, Fearow, Arbok, Raichu, Sandslash, Nidoqueen, Nidoking, Clefable, Wigglytuff, Vileplume, Parasect, Venomoth, Persian, Golduck, Primeape, Poliwrath, Victreebel, Golem, Rapidash, Farfetch'd, Dewgong, Muk, Hypno, Kingler, Electrode, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Kangaskhan, Seaking, Mr. Mime, Scyther, Electabuzz, Magmar, Pinsir, Omastar, Kabutops, Meganium, Furret, Noctowl, Ledian, Ariados, Lanturn, Xatu, Ampharos, Bellossom, Azumarill, Sudowoodo, Politoed, Sunflora, Quagsire, Slowking, Girafarig, Gligar, Granbull, Quilfish, Shuckle, Sneasel, Magcargo, Corsola, Octillery, Delibird, Mantine, Stantler, Hitmontop, Mightyena, Linoone, Beautifly, Dustox, Shiftry, Pelipper, Masquerain, Shedinja, Exploud, Hariyama, Delcatty, Sableye, Mawile, Aggron, Manectric, Plusle, Minun, Volbeat, Illumise, Swalot, Sharpedo, Wailord, Camerupt, Torkoal, Grumpig, Spinda, Cacturne, Altaria, Seviper, Lunatone, Solrock, Whiscash, Crawdaunt, Cradily, Castform, Kecleon, Banette, Tropius, Chimeco, Absol, Glalie, Walrein, Huntail, Gorebyss, Luvdisc, Bibarel, Kricketune, Luxray, Wormadam, Mothim, Vespiquen, Pachirisu, Cherrim, Gastrodon, Drifblim, Lopunny, Purugly, Skuntank, Chatot, Toxicroak, Carnivine, Lumineon, Lickilicky, Probopass, Frosslass, Rotom


I might not be 100% on my anticipations, but this is what I think.

Lol. Dude, All legends are not classified as OU. Things like Entei are BL/UU due to it's typing and more. Alakazam is BL now. Lol Mr. Mime in OU. Zappy is BL, Vappy and Jolty are BL to. Steelix is not OU lol. Lol Houndoom is not OU, its BL. Suicune is BL now due to new walls. Claydol is BL. Regice is BL. Manaphy is uber. Noob

Did i post that Manaphy was not Uber? It was from Smogon. I know that Manaphy is Uber. I know that Steellix and houndoom are not Ou. Vaperoreon i know he's in Bl and so is Jolteon. Mr.mime is not Ou that i know either. I did not Post this. And besides, It speciafacaaly said in the post that it was in ANOTHER forum.

Iceman3k August 14th, 2007 6:56 AM

Last word of your post, MK_DS? Completely uncalled for.

Also, last time I remembered, Legendaries were NOT allowed in UU for one reason or another, and as far as BLs go, it's only 1 BL to a UU Team, if any at all. And I'd also like to know just how is Mr. Mime OU and how Steelix is POSSIBLY UU.

Shiraishi August 14th, 2007 6:59 AM

I feel kewl for having an BL and a UU on my team and my developing team. >_> How in the name of pie is CUBONE BL..

You don't seem to understand the tier system. They are determined by not only stats, but weaknesses, moves, abilities, and more. In which why some of those pokemon you listed are in other tiers. BUT, I know you dislike that one certain site... but that one site will list the tiers which will be the official tiers of the metagame. That *site* is the #1 competitive battling site and is the smartest site as well, but lol. Uhh, yea. Just saying.

Cubone is UU, though it's great with Thick Club, and some switch to it with Ninjask

Then perhaps you'd like to suggest some logical changes that I'd completely take heed to instead of scoffing at me. And I completely understand that it IS by stats, and their movepools.

Has it come to your attention that I don't care what they say or think, since a majority of them act far too high and mighty for me to listen to?

Don't worry, I'll keep the tier list updated.

And I'll sticky this. (something I forgot to do during the last time I checked this thread.)

*edit* And Iceman, how the heck could you ever think Entei could OU status? Its stats aren't outstanding and its movepool is just horribly limited.

Cool, this got a Sticky. Entei's UU/Bl.

Iceman3k August 14th, 2007 7:41 AM

Although I completely see your point as to how Entei could be UU or BL, I still can't see Legendaries even being ALLOWED in UU. But whatever.

Also, I'm removing my list. I'll keep it for my own personal uses.

Smarties-chan August 14th, 2007 8:24 AM

I'm not saying Entei should be UU as even with a horrible move, its stats are extremely high compared to most UUs, but Entei fits just perfectly for BL. It has potential to be good, but something (in this case its movepool) prevents it from being truly useful so either Entei is BL or they'll have to shove a couple of more low BLs into UU and thus demote some of the weaker UUs into NU. And I agree on the Smogon members who were in on this on Suicune being ranked as BL as well. Thanks to Life Orb, physical Electric moves and more powerful special moves (Draco Meteor comes to mind.) Calmcune has lost its near immortality. It's still effective as a wall, but nowadays it's much easier to break through Suicune's defenses.

MKDS_PoKE August 14th, 2007 4:48 PM

Smogon is still working on this. Thus it is incomplete. Moderator, you shouldn't have even stickied this, seeing how it's incomplete

=\ noob.

*Sarcastic* I like how you are obeying the rules...

Just because this isnt one of your guides you love so much doesnt mean you must flame others in their thread..

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*

Yeah totally agreeing with MKDS, first off all, it's not even original content. You blatantly took it from Smogona and had absolutely no part in writing it for yourself. Definitely not worthy of a sticky at all.

And in fact, no tier list deserves a sticky because we're not far enough along that we can safely say who is OU, who is BL, and who is UU.
