Well in the last thread we speculated that UU tier wouldn't form until a couple months along the line, but here it is folks. It's a bit of a mess, but it's got some sort of balance. The main problem I'm finding is that there are a lot of hard hitting things and not as many walls, as OU has usurped them all :P but there are plenty of viable tanks, like empoleon, and donphan... and the ever present Chansey / Zapdos still in there to chose from.

Personally I'd like to see Kyurem and Victini booted to BL, but that's got a ways to go, and they'll probably make the jump to OU before that happens. I do quite like Weavile in UU, however, as without scizor running around everywhere it does get a chance to shine, and while there are some over powered pokes in there, Weavile sits quite nicely in there as a revenge killer... but it isn't seeing much use.

Shocked that Azelf isn't seeing much use, too, as it can certainly hold its own against many of these top UU threats.

Kyurem in UU? Tell me you're joking... and it's even #2. I'm not too comfortable about Victini in UU either. Guy can tear walls apart it seems.

Is the power creep this big that some of former gen's OU turned UU? Some of this just doesn't make much sense... it's still progress for sure but I don't feel comfortable here. Heck, do I see Mew in that UU list? And yet Scrafty and Haxorus and Lucario are still OU? Yeah, I'm not getting it.

Overall, I'm NOT fond of this UU, even if it is a step up. But this is probably why I just... stopped playing competitively in general.

lol @ Vulpix # 10. However, I must say people MIGHT be getting it. The sun isn't just helpful for a sun team but it also helps destroy other weathers from being dominant, and I suppose that's why Ninetales still holds OU position. Or maybe, that's just my way of thinking... but at least that's how I use Ninetales; not as a sun set up fodder, as the sun is probably the most "neutral" weather there is. And Ninetales has the tools to mess with most of her switch-ins. But then again, I think I'm putting too much hopes in these people and they might be actually using her for sun fodder for a sun team -___-

Zekrom is still used a bit more over Reshiram. And yet Reshiram is scarier. It must be because of Kyogre still being #1, and Zekrom can counter Kyogres by switching into any moves but Ice Beam. Mewtwo is #2, but that's not bad.

However, I am glad to see Tyranitar holding #1 position. Move out of the way Ferrothorn!

Aside from the last one, the most ridiculous cases of pre-evo beating out evo in terms of usage... though I probably shouldn't look in the 200s section anyways.

This is the problem. It is technically similar to last gen's OU because of that power creep... and remember your old friends in UU? You won't really see them as much... in fact very rarely. Well, pre-OU/UU revamp times I suppose UU was actually UU. Now it's just "strong Pokemon that are not as strong as new Pokemon" tier and so it still makes little sense.

I probably didn't word this whole sentence out (or maybe I'm struggling with English or something) but I hope I got something across.
