its a streak of being ou every generation.
Okay, Celebi was probally the best Crocune Check for the longest time.
Heracross, what are we doing with the mega?
Manaphy, do we really have to make that change, its not like it changes tiers.
Terrakion, ruined by M-Sableye!
Diancie is Diamond Storm all that better from Carbink?
Serperior, has ruined my preferred play-style of stall; anyone no how to wall it? Now the best Crocune check.
Raikou, we had to separate the trio?
Pinsir, same question as Heracross.
Jirachi, It was time, RIP to all my UU teams...
Starmie, rapid spinners are in that high demand?
Celebi moved from UU to OU: Onion taking names
Heracross moved from OU to UU: Ah Banded Guts Heracross how I've missed you.
Pidgeot moved from RU to UU: Well that settles that suspect.
Heliolisk moved from RU to NU: To think there was a time people really considered this OU material.
Glalie moved from NU to RU: And now it just needs to go to the next.
Salamence moved from OU to UU: Sigh, the circle of life.
Manaphy moved from BL to OU: Not surprising
Torkoal moved from NU to PU: Yaaaawn
Sceptile moved from RU to UU: Good riddance
Terrakion moved from OU to UU: Rip UU Part 1
Pawniard moved from NU to PU: I blame Hariyama
Diancie moved from UU to OU: Lol at this thing being UU while it's sweeping team in OU.
Serperior moved from BL2 to UU: A god
Quagsire moved from RU to NU: NU Stall, sounds fun n_n
Bouffalant, Scyther, Probopass moved from PU to NU: TONE114 you need to make me some new PU teams now please
Jirachi moved from UU to OU: I'm glad this happened. Not because it was annoying but because it'll make my UU friends mad.
Starmie moved from UU to OU: I approve
Pinsir moved from OU to UU: ........hahahahahaha
Heracross moved from OU to UU: Ah Banded Guts Heracross how I've missed you.

As far as my knowledge goes, only Gengar has never fallen from OU in any generation. Starmie remained OU from Gen 1 - 5, but fell in Gen 6.
But if it's a matter of "being" in OU for all six current generations, then, yes, Starmie goes in as well.
But enough of that, I'm trying to think of potential checks and counters for the UU drops.
Terrakion: Gligar, Nidoqueen, Doublade, Tangrowth,...Golurk?
It has great checks in Mega Sceptile, Azelf, and Alakazam. Most of these checks/counters get rekt by Mega Pinsir.
Mega Pinsir: All I can really think of to counter it is Doublade, Rhyperior and possibly Alomomola.
Rotom-H can do a good number on it but is pretty shaky. Best to keep the rocks up.
Salamence: Florges, Aromatisse, Cresselia and Granbull stop it fine. But this thing is too stupidly strong for UU to last that long.
And Heracross is okay; Doublade, Gligar, Crobat, fairies have it covered.
I hope these guys get kicked from UU as soon as possible. Heracross, welcome back.

Well Starmie has now been OU in every single generation, sure it may not have been OU for the entire generation, but as long as it's OU by the latest generation's tier shift, that is all that matters
i can answer yes: some people in uu room (since i'm a regular there) are happy about it.
Serperior moved from BL2 to UU
The world will be at your very tail, Serperior. It's only a matter of months.

Diancie moved from UU to OU: ????
All the small legendariies got some love today... Raikou will be missed.

It turns out that since Terrakion was banned in UU Beta, that doesn't count as being banned in XYUU/ORASUU
Oh well.
I think a lot of people are just slow to come up with a new team after the mega salamence ban. Pinsir was totally outclassed by salamence, while HP Ice Zapdos was one of the few reliable checks to it.
Virizion was troubled by the high usage of Mega Pidgeot and Dragalge, and Quagsire, while it was nice how it walled setup mons; it kinda just sat around as deadweight most of the time.
Congratulations Celebi, Jirachi and Starmie for finally climbing back to OU after a harsh early meta. Would be a shame if we were ever to retest Aegislash...

Sceptile was so close to getting back into OU once more but serperior stole away its usage at the last moment. Can't catch a break that sceptile. At least Diancie made it to OU this time.
