    It's sad to see Aerodactyl drop to RU when just last gen, I could see them practically everywhere! ):

    Well more along the lines that team preview made leads obsolete, plus Aero wastes a team slot just for SR which is something you simply cannot afford to do in B/W lol.

    Please don't edit this as it's the best post ever.

    In regards to Donphan, yeaaah... I'm starting to agree since it was only useful for Ice Shard and I barely even spun anything. :( Now if only Blissey could use Rapid Spin...

    Alakazam, Chansey and Mamoswine deserve their OU places.

    Dugtrio, I've never really used, Donphan isn't that good in OU, and are people trying to use Jolteon as a pseudo-Thundurus of sorts? :x

    Forgot about Tornadus, yah OU good etc

    SWAMPERT IN UU OMG. ;-; i loved using him. Zong gone is kinda good since I won't see his as much. But then again I liked using him.

    • To be honest, I don't really think Dugtrio deserves OU status because once it kills something, Scizor can just come in and kill it with Bullet Punch or Pursuit.

    • I think that some of Smogon's decisions this time round were shocking. Sigilyph in RU? Bye bye Cresselia. Also, Swampert shouldn't be too hard to deal with, but I'm concerned about Bronzong.

    I guess the strategy would be to have a Pokemon to take out Scizor and other priority users and Jolteon first AND THEN send in Dugtrio. And of course spinners, etc, etc. Too much hassle for me but hey if some people like that complicated stuff needing two Pokemon to be able to use just that one properly, then good for them.

    Ah, didn't think about that. But I agree--Dugtrio is a Pokemon that needs a lot of support to use well.

    See how silly that is i can make that argument for anything lol. Plus if Dug has already killed something hasn't it done its job ?

    Also Dug is ou most likely because of sun teams, it essentially is a free Tyranitar kill and it provides a little team support for sun, being able to set up SR. (New standard set which is; Sub or SR, Reversal, EQ, Stone Edge @ Sash). Its a death sentence to Blissey, Heatran and Tyranitar, two major foes to sun.

    It's not a decision lol. Tiers are based on usage; Sigilyph wasn't used in enough in UU so it moved down a tier.

    • Well the decisions are based off the usage stats (and judged according to the cutoff), and was Siglyiph in RU is still a message for Cresselia to leave.
