It is. Steel Wing became a TM again in Gen 6.

I'm surprised Excadrill is so high in usage that's #3 in OU.
Got ninja'd.
Steel Wing is a TM in Gen VI, so it should be legal.
Got ninja'd.
Aggron was a decent wall breaker in RU, just Tyrantrum outclassed it in certain ways. Trev is cursed with being in a tier full of fire and dark types that make it extremely sad.

theres no point in adding steel wing if you can already use solar beam to destroy diancie :/
Ah. In that case, Honchkrow is most likely going to be broken:
252+ Atk Life Orb Honchkrow Steel Wing vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Diancie: 296-354 (97.3 - 116.4%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

why are you mentioning Solar Beam?
Solar Beam is bad, Steel Wing can destroy Diancie and after some Moxie boosts go to hit any Rock / Fairy without care about recoil or stat drop.
oh, btw, this reminded me. FU is now playable with it's own ladder on Origin.psim.us under the name of ZU. It's been a thing for a while but a lot of people are talking about how it still has a following and thought people would want to know a place to play. On there tho, Simisear is banned (it literally clicks nasty plot and wins). ZU/FU even has its own room on there. Anyways, FU is looking mighty fun with Mightyena tbh (punpunpun)
I agree with ambi and cinno,but typhlosion got banned from nu so there's no place for it to go
kilometerman
Banned deucer.
Does anyone know when these changes will be implemented?
it will probably take a few days to make sure they got everything right
Oh, yeah, sorry my bad, I mean Typhlosion to BL3 again
You think NU's the selfish one?
Amoonguss moved from RU to OU
Quagsire moved from NU to OU

The Immortal can you update the ladders please?

I think we have to wait for doubles and LC stats

Can't they be implemented separately?

its more work for immortal :/
Lol so you want to see SD Escavalier + Sceptile-Mega on every single team? This is VERY boring :/
This stood out to me because I think Zapdos fully deserves to be OU. Pressure + immunity to Ground makes it an excellent Defog user on stall (arguably the best playstyle right now) and it's a good check to some extremely troublesome mons such as Mega Pinsir and Tornadus-Therian.
Unlike most walls it also offers relatively strong offense + coverage. This, along with its ability to spread paralysis, makes it very difficult for offensive teams to even switch stuff in against it.
Zapdos also has notably higher usage near the top of the ladder as well as an excellent win % in Tour. These facts show what an effective bird Zapdos can be.
As for the other stats, Celebi is finally where it belongs. Dog knows why that stayed in OU for as long as it did.
Stall staples Amoonguss and Quagsire moving up is also nice to see.
UU Stall taking a huge hit? I don't see the problem
252+ Atk Life Orb Honchkrow Superpower vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Steelix: 174-205 (49.1 - 57.9%) -- 95.3% chance to 2HKO
Considering that it lacks reliable recovery, it won't take long until it can no longer act as a reliable stop to Honch. And this is before considering mixed sets.

Yeah...Honchkrow only can destroy Alomomola thanks to recoil + life orb + rocky helmet if used + wish = rip Honchkrow lol, but beside this, RIP
