The True DPP UU Tournament
The Fourth Generation tiers haven't been touched since the release of Black & White in 2010. That is not to say the metagame hasn't changed: several Pokémon have increased or decreased in popularity especially in OU. DPP OU is still a very popular tier, as one of the three tiers in Smogon Tour. Because of this, the DPP UU tier is a bit off with some Pokémon in OU getting too much usage for UU and Pokémon that should drop if you look at their OU usage but won't. So here is finally a DPP UU tournament where the UnderUsed tier is updated!
Here is the list of changes (based on DPP OU Smogon Tour usage stats from the last three months, weighted excluding once BL Pokémon):
