(cracks knuckles)
Starting from today, the ranking tier list will divided into even more tiers. I'll be adding top, mid, and low as sub tiers. (represented by +, neutral and -) I think this will help in dealing with the discrepancy between Pokemon that exist in the same tier. I'll be to first to admit that Infernape being in the same tier as Snorlax is a little dumb.
@Staraptor: Are you guys serious? There's no use in kidding ourselves, C-rank is very much a "I think this pokemon is decent, it should be C-rank" rank. You're really going to bust me for putting Staraptor in that tier when it's arguably on of the few Pokemon that I could actually justify using in an OU match? Goodness. I might do a thing where I make C-tier and B-tier even stricter (and actually drop more Pokemon into D-tier). We'll see.
@Wobbuffet: I think I might be in the minority, but having the potential to trap and kill 2 Pokemon is freaking awesome. For those haven't caught on, Wobbuffet can actually do that now with Cutsap berry+Destiny Bond. Of course, some of the criticisms that Lavos brought up are valid(though Calm 28/252 Wobbuffet is very durable on the Special side) but I still think that a well played Wobbuffet can really fuck you over. After all, if its not trapping + killing a Pokemon, its giving you a free turn of set up with Encore. I might reverse this change, but Cutsap Destiny Bond Wobbuffet is just nasty.
@Weavile: I get it. Weavile might seem bad because of those scrubs that are mucking it up on ladder or hyping it up on the forums. Up until recently I was determined not to raise Weavile BECAUSE of that vocal minority, but I wasn't acting rationally. If you look at it objectively, Weavile isn't actually that bad in OU; It's a good utility offensive Pokemon in BW OU with a clear cut, defined niche in BW OU. It checks a bunch of important threats(Landorus, Dragon-types, Celebi, Thundurus, Tornadus, Breloom) and can Pursuit trap some key targets (Lati@s and Celebi mainly). No other Pokemon in OU can do what Weavile does (the mamoswine VS weavile comparisons are laughable).
Like... Weavile is pretty good against the standard sand team. EX:
Tyranitar, Landorus-T, Celebi, Forretress, Heatran, Jellicent. Sure, it's hard countered by Forretress and Jellicent (don't be fooled into thinking you can trap Jellicent LOL) but it beats the other 4 members of that team, and can trap kill Celebi (a.k.a one of the most important Pokemon in the game!?!). I know this is just one example, but it doesn't matchup poorly against most teams, since there's a near guaranteed chance that it can trap something and its speed / priority can carry it. It gets shut down hard by a lot of relevant threats (again Jellicent actually counters you, and Jirachi + Scizor shut you down), and its really bad against rain/sun teams, but again you have a team of 5+ to help Weavile overcome these threats. It's other big flaw, is that its kind of hard to use (you really need to nail those Pursuit predictions)
Oh and did I mention its fast? (that last point is actually very important, Speed is sooo important).
TL;DR: I'd sooner use a Weavile over pretty much anything in C-tier in a tournament environment.
@Roserade: I definitely want to reconsider this decision in retrospect, but Sleep Powder is cheap and Toxic Spikes still "work" in OU. It's probably C+/B- tier.
@Feraligatr: Gatr time. That is all.
