Banlists for Unsupported Metagames

So the idea behind this section is to create banlists for three more hypothetical metagames (Dream World UU, UUbers and LC UU) that will not be implemented any time soon on the server, but that you could potentially play on the DS or for a tournament.

These lists should also provide a nice resource for generating threat-lists for these three metagames, based on three-month stats, rather than just the stats from the past month.

Starting with the three-month data...
Dream World OU


...the banlist for DW UU would be everything in bold.

Similarly, we start with the three-months stats for Ubers...
Ubers


...and we're left with a banlist for what I call "UUbers." The interesting thing here is to see how "UUbers" differs from Standard OU.

Namely,
  • If the OU banlist were based on usage in Ubers, Ferrothorn, Forretress, Tyranitar, Tentacruel, Skarmory, Terrakion, Chansey, Blissey, Scizor, Gliscor, Salamence, Metagross and Heatran would all be Uber.
  • The converse, to me, is even more interesting: the only "Ubers" pokemon that do not have enough usage in Ubers to be classified be "OU" for Ubers are Deoxys[-N] and all Arceii formes except Normal, Ghost and Grass.

Finally, we have Little Cup:
LC

...but Little Cup's simulator usage has dropped so low, and there've been so many shake-ups to the tier in the past few months, that I really would put absolutely zero stock in this banlist.

1337 stats!
This data only takes into account teams whose user has a current rating--as of 4/1--of 1337 or higher. In tiers where there were not enough players with a rating that high, I lowered the cutoff as specified.

Wow. Nothing came in or out of OU. I think that means we found ourselves a balanced tier.

RU on the other hand took a big hit, loosing Sharpedo, Claydol, Honchkrow, and Durant, and UU gave them nothing back.

Looks like RU finally lost both Honch and Z. UU should be quite interesting for Honch.

Okay so now that Charizard is NU, the tier will finally start banning some things. This might set the stage to realize other broken things *cough*Absol*cough*

Charizard might really shine in RU with the right support.

literally shedding a tear for RU here. For the people in UU that pulled Gligar, Honch, and Sharpedo up there, I have a few choice words such as, I and Don't and Like and You.

A big blow for the lower tiers. RU losing n°1 and 2 and NU losing n°1. UU losing deoxys D.... i don´t know if there is a pokemon who will be able to fill its shoes. Yet OU remains virtually untouched.

Also wtf ferrothorn the king of 1337 ubers? Come on

Thankfully Rhydon remained RU... I enjoyed Golem and Regirock actually getting a time to shine for once in NU.

Otherwise... not much interesting other than RU getting fucked tremendously.

1. Once again great job Antar.
2.Seriously is someone out there using Toxicroak and Scrafty just to troll UU?
3. RU took quite a beating
