Tiers are coming to Pokémon Showdown! We have enough usage stats to form an accurate representation of the OU tier.
Tiers are based on usage, not on a Pokémon's individual power. That said, a more powerful Pokémon will obviously be used more. A Pokémon is OU if it is found, on average, on 3.41% of all battles in the tier. There's more complicated math to it than this but that's the gist.
These Pokémon are also banned from UU, in addition to the BL mons that the UU tier will slowly be banning over the next bit.
Without further ado, the OU tier!
UU has also banned:
- Charizardite Y (Mega Charizard Y)
- Kyurem-B
- Baton Pass
