Pokemon Tier List
DIR By: Leon
Date: August 4, 2016, 11:14 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
the tiers defines both their usage and their overall potential.
Pokémon that are strong and used often will find themselves in
the high tier of OU, while weaker and less common Pokémon will
find their way into UU, RU, NU, and PU. The faux tier of BL is
for Pokémon that are too strong for the UU environment, but are
not used enough for OU. This is usually for their lack of
potential in the standard environment, but there are various
other reasons. The BL2, BL3, and BL4 tiers are basically the
same thing, but for Pokemon too strong for the RU, NU, and PU
environment, respectively. The only unbalanced tier is the Uber
tier, which is for Pokémon that are game-breaking in the
standard environment. Most Pokémon in this tier are legendaries
with a base stat total of at least 600.
Please Note
This tier list does resemble Smogon's Tier list. Reasoning is
for the fact that all competitive players on this website use
that tier list for all battles. Thus, it is senseless to make an
unused tier list that is made from people who lack a true
understanding of the meta-game. The tiers are solely based off
usage from players from the Pokemon Showdown! ladders. Due to a
policy change that happened in the middle of ORAS, Mega Stones
are now tiered separately from Pokemon. Mega forms cannot be in
tiers lower than their base forms even if they do not have
enough usage to remain in a specific tier. For example, Mega
Latios does not receive enough usage to be OU on its own, but
Latios does, keeping Mega Latios from dropping to UU.
Also, some Pokémon are usable in multiple tiers. There is no
restriction on what Pokémon can be used in tiers other than
Pokémon that reside in the higher tiers.
Uber
Pokémon that are seen as too powerful for standard play. This
could be due to massive stat total, insane movepool, or the
power to over-centralize the meta-game if they were to remain in
OU (often, all 3 of these reasons apply). The ability Moody and
the move Swagger are also banned from OU and Ubers due to their
uncompetitive nature. Shadow Tag is another ability banned from
OU, but unlike Moody, it is permitted in Ubers. Note that Mega
Rayquaza is banned from Ubers, which makes Ubers an actual tier
more so than a ban list (although it is still the ban list for
OU). As a result, a new metagame was created called Anything
Goes in which there are no restrictions and no clauses.

Overused (OU)
The standard Pokémon competitive metagame in which Pokémon that
are most often seen reside. They are generally recognized for
this, their wide move pools and their high potential. Please
note that Pokémon enter the OU tier if they achieve a usage % of
at least 3.41% on Smogon's Pokémon Showdown Server through a
specific amount of people with a high ranking (to avoid any bad
influence from poor metagame trends). There are a total of 56 OU
Pokémon.

Borderline (BL)
Pokemon that are considered broken or too strong for the
Underused metagame, yet not used enough to the an Overused
Pokemon, fall into the BL, or Borderline. This is a banlist, not
an actual tier, and they are unusable in UU because of traits
that make them unhealthy for the metagame, but are either not
used enough or not as viable in OU. These Pokemon can still be
used in OU, but are not officially OU. Certain abilities such as
Drought and Drizzle are also seen as too broken for Underused
play and also fall in the BL list. There are 17 Pokemon in the
BL tier.

Underused (UU)
Pokémon that are not commonplace in a competitive environment
due to more hindering flaws, lack of usage, or just plainly
outclassed. They are generally lacking in potential, though
several are still quite playable and very usable in OU. There
are 68 Pokemon that makeup the UU tier.

Pokémon that are not used enough in the UnderUsed metagame, but
too broken for the Rarelyused metagame fall under the BL2 list.
These Pokémon are banned from the Rarelyused tier, but can be
used in Ubers, Overused, and the Underused tiers if so desired.
There are a total of 19 Pokémon in this tier as of now.

Rarelyused (RU)
Pokémon that have nearly crippling flaws and are typically
easily outclassed by other Pokémon in OU and UU. Most of these
Pokémon have specific niches in the higher tiers, but find a
place to shine with the more powerful threats locked away in
higher tiers. This tier was formed in Generation V to keep the
NU tier from having nearly 300 Pokémon in it. There are
currently 57 Pokémon in the RU tier.

Borderline 3 (BL3)
Pokémon that are not used enough in the RarelyUsed metagame, but
too broken for the NeverUsed metagame fall under the BL3 list.
These Pokémon are banned from the NeverUsed tier, but can be
used in Ubers, Overused, Underused and Rarelyused tiers if so
desired. The combination of Baton Pass + Speed is also banned
from the Neverused tier. There are currently 2 Pokémon in this
tier.
Sawk
Sceptile
NeverUsed (NU)
Pokémon that are generally not seen at all due to being highly
limited and unpopular. Their stats and movepools may be, and
usually are, very lacking compared to the higher tiers. Most of
these Pokémon don't even have a specific niche in the higher
tiers. There are 59 Pokémon in the NU tier as of this writing.

Borderline 4 (BL4)
Pokémon that are not used enough in the Neverused metagame, but
too broken for the PU metagame fall under the BL4 list. These
Pokémon are banned from the PU tier, but can be used in Ubers,
Overused, Underused, Rarelyused, and Neverused tiers. In
addition with these Pokemon, the move Chatter is banned due to
its uncompetitive nature regarding confusion and giving Chatot
an opportunity to tear teams apart due to luck with Boomburst
and Nasty Plot. There are a total of 7 Pokémon in this tier as
of now.
Carracosta
Exeggutor
Linoone
Machoke
Throh
Victreebel
Vigoroth
PU
Pokémon very rarely, if ever, seen in the main tiers of
competitive battling and not used enough in the NeverUsed tier
and all tiers above it fall under the PU tier. This tier was a
novelty tier introduced in Generation V as an unofficial
metagame and officially became Smogon's fifth-based usage tier
in Generation VI. These Pokémon lack viability or are simply not
used in the higher tiers but can find their own set of niches in
PU. The tier contains all fully-evolved Pokémon that are not in
the higher tiers alongside NFE (not fully evolved) Pokémon that
have a viable niche in PU. There are a whopping 171 Pokémon in
this tier.
