This would be a good point if we were actually updating the tiers (which we probably won't be, at least not yet).Thanks a million for the stats (early by my count)!
However, I was just wondering about the RU cutoff -- because so many pokemon are rising out of RU to UU, doesn't that lower the cutoff (they shouldn't be counted in the tiering of RU, because they are technically UU).
I think a large reason for this is that Volcorona usually doesn't come out until the user is ready for the "game over sweep". I personally don't even bother with sending it out until I've ensured that all the threats like Stealth Rock, Terrakion and Dragonite and such are gone.Man, Rotom-W showing it's amazing typing is really viable.
Shocking to see Volcarona at #28, I guess some people just don't realize how broken it might be when used right.
Thanks for the stats Antar!

It's 29th, one place lower than the normal rankings.Easy enough to check--what's its ranking for "full team" method (on my smartphone right now, so can't check, myself)?
I've been told that tiers are being updated as I type (they may already be done--try using Chandy in UU and see what happens). [Edit: Nope. Not yet.]Hold on, if these are now the official stats does that mean tiering decisions will occur in the near future?

That's what BL is for. :)Why is Tornadus in UU? I can see it sweeping the whole tier on his own, if used with a good mixed set. This is going to be very interesting.
Disagree. Tornadus doesn't have Swift Swim backing it up in UU, yeah its got priority Rain Dance, but that comes at the cost of either Hammer Arm or Taunt. Besides, Rain Dance is maily for helping Kingdra and Kabutops shred.Tornadus is going to be in the back round killing everyone while Thundurus gets wrecked in ubers.
No nasty plot, no thunder wave, and no electric stab or moves (bar hidden power) makes me think Tornadus fully replacing Thundurus should it be banned would be anything but certain. When all it has to counter those deficiencies is the addition of Acrobatics, Tailwind, and Hurricane to its movepool (and Extrasensory I guess if you forgo psychic, which they both get, for flinch hax (not that they'd run either neccesarily anyway)), it just seems even less likely.If the voters were to make the mistake of banning Thundurus, Tornadus would return to OU to take its place.
