They are tier abbreviations .
Uber : - Pokémon too powerful for OU. Anything goes here as far as Pokémon allowed.
OU (Over Used) : - This is the where the most play occurs. Pokémon who are used frequently in battle and often in battle are stronger than most other Pokémon
BL (Border Line) : - These Pokémon are not seen as often as those in the OU tier, but are considered too powerful for UU play. These Pokémon ARE NOT considered any weaker than Pokémon in the OU tier. This tier is sometimes seen as a "faux" one. It is also ideal to keep track of threats here aswell as OU, if your building an OU team.
UU ( Underused) : -. Pokémon not used often, that are relatively weak.
And bear in mind pokemon from lower tiers CAN be used in higher tiers than themselves. But cannot battle in lower tiers.
