  1. Absol (QC 2/3)

    Absol [Overview] - Most powerful priority in the game - Mostly used for set up sweeping - Great coverage with Dark STAB and Superpower - Still walled by bulky physical walls (Tangrowth, Steelix) unless running surprise special moves - Many high powered coverage options (Megahorn) -...
  2. Serperior (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>At first, Serperior appears to have little to differentiate itself from the hordes of Grass-types vying for a spot on your team; poor stats, except for its strange base 113 Speed, and a shallow movepool shared by similar Pokemon doesn't help Serperior's case. Thankfully, Serperior...
  3. Braviary (GP 2/2)

    Braviary Pretty obvious that this is a WIP [Overview] <p>Sleek, lithe, and powerful, Braviary is the epitome of physical attacking. Sporting a base 123 Attack stat and high Base Power moves, Braviary's damage output is greater than almost any other Pokemon in the tier. When further augmented...
  4. Altaria (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>Altaria is one of the few fully evolved Dragons in RU; while most of its Dragon-type brethren fight it out in the upper tiers, Altaria is left in RU. The reason for this is Altaria's less-than-amazing base 70 offensive stats. However, don't write Altaria off yet; Altaria...
  5. Empoleon (GP 2/2)

    EMPOLEON [Overview] <p>At first Empoleon might receive an icy reception from new UU battlers due to its rather lackluster stats; while it possesses a respectable base 111 Special Attack, its Speed is much lower than that of common offensive juggernauts. Defensively, Empoleon faces...
  6. Shaymin (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>In a tier that is filled with noxious Poison-types, industrial Steel-types, and suffocating Fire-types, the nature-loving Shaymin has its work cut out for it. As a Grass-type, Shaymin is forced to compete against the immensely popular Roserade, who has access to Sleep Powder...
  7. Cofagrigus (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>Finally uncovered after decades of slumbering beneath the ancient pyramids of Egypt, Cofagrigus continues to serve its master with undying dedication. Its amazing physical bulk stops most physical attacks, while its Ghost typing blocks Rapid Spin, keeping any entry hazards on...
  8. Pinsir (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>In the constant quest for dominance in the bug world, Pinsir can never seem to flip over its rivals. While its two pincers pose a formidable threat, they just can't stand up to Heracross's powerful (mega) horn and increased martial prowess. However, as long as Heracross is...
  9. Cinccino (QC 3/3)

    Cinccino Aren't I cute? [Overview] - Cute and Deadly - Skill Link for reliability and more destruction compared to Technician - Basically runs the same moves for every set - Speedy - Super frail - Pretty standard stuff [SET] name: Life Orb move 1: Tail Slap move 2: Rock...
  10. Ninjask (GP 2/2)

    Ninja'd [Overview] <p>Although Ninjask's stats and typing scream mediocrity, it has all the right tools to establish a niche that has made it infamous in every generation since its release. However, the coming of the fifth generation heralded Ninjask's fall from grace. Its former OU home has...
  11. Cacturne (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>The NU tier appears to be the perfect place for Cacturne to plant itself; not only are its Spiking abilities in high demand, but it also possesses excellent offenses and a unique typing. Unlike many other Spikes users, Cacturne isn't setup bait in any sense of the word; it has...
  12. Braviary (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>Like an angel swooping down to rescue its friends from the grasp of tyranny, Braviary can easily pluck matches from the jaws of defeat. With its base 123 Attack stat and numerous high-powered moves, Braviary can easily lay the hurt on the opponent. Its STAB Brave Bird is nothing...
  13. Flareon (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>While many Pokemon have suffered at the hands of Game Freak's strange and unusual methods, Flareon has been one of the most disadvantaged. While its fellow Eeveelutions made it to the limelights of OU and UU, Flareon was left to play with other misfits in the dark depths of NU...
  14. Crawdaunt (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>The sound of Crawdaunt snapping its claws is enough to leave most of the tier crying for mercy. Its powerful, Adaptability-boosted STAB moves have almost unresisted coverage in RU, and hit the majority of physical walls for super effective damage. Crawdaunt can comfortably 2HKO...
  15. Aggron (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>Aggron is the very definition of scary; wearing a skull helmet topped with razor-sharp horns, carrying bullet-proof steel armor, and wielding lethal claws, there are few opponents that can even think about standing up to the metal beast. However, Aggron isn't all bark and no...
  16. Archeops (GP 3/3)

    [Overview] <p>Charles Darwin's theory of evolution states that only the strongest survive, and weaker species perish. However, Archeops is an exception. Despite its prehistoric status, Archeops boasts offensive stats that outdo even new age technologies such as Klinklang. Archeops also has...
  17. Carracosta (GP 2/2)

    Col49 has given consent for me to take over this QC: natgeo, steamroll, zebraiken GP: [Overview] <p>Carracosta's stereotypical stat spread shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone; great Attack and Defense stats come part and parcel with the Rock typing. However, Carracosta...
  18. Golurk (GP 2/2)

    DTC let me take over this [Overview] <p>In a tier where Ghost-types haunt almost every team, Golurk struggles to make its presence felt. It has neither the sheer bulk of Cofagrigus and Dusknoir, nor the Speed of Rotom. What Golurk does have, however, is a unique typing and one of the best...
  19. Yanmega (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>Traditionally, the Bug / Flying type has been a recipe for competitive disaster; not only was it given to some of the weakest Pokemon, it also curses the bearer with a crippling weakness to Stealth Rock. However, Yanmega proves that despite its poor typing, it can still...
  20. Lairon (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>As with its Rock / Steel brethren, Probopass and Bastiodon, Lairon is a very unbalanced Pokemon in both stats and typing. While it—like its evolutionary family—was blessed with a monstrous Defense stat, it was also cursed with a terrible typing that gives it glaring weaknesses...
