Resource SM OU Team Building Ressources (Role Compendium+Speed Tiers)
SM OU Team Building Ressources
Hello, this thread is meant to serve as a teambuilding resource for the USM OU metagame by combining a role compendium and a speed tiers list in one place. Its purpose is to provide a clear, visual overview of which Pokemon fulfill which roles in the metagame, as well as the most relevant Speed tiers to keep in mind when building. Every Pokemon listed here is considered viable based on its performance in either general or specific (niche) roles, and only relevant sets and Speed benchmarks will be included. If you believe a viable Pokemon, set, role, or Speed tier is missing, feel free to suggest it in this thread with sufficient explanation.
Here is a dictionnary to understand the meaning of terminologies such as Suicide Lead or Pivot:
http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/pokemon_dictionary
Pokemon are listed in alphabetical order. More niche Pokemon for the role are separated by a vertical bar.
Rules:
One liners are fine, avoid double posting
Don't shitpost and don't be rude
When suggesting things to be added / removed, provide decent reasoning as to why something should be added or removed.
only nominate viable mons (check the VR to see what is viable)

very good and much needed post, thank you for taking the time to put it together, here are some things I believe should be added to the role compendium:
flame charge (mega charizard x)
feint (mega pinsir)
cresselia
mega latias
greninja, araquanid
necrozma (abusers)
suicune, quagsire
could add alakazam pre mega (since we have altaria pre mega for natural cure)
mega latias
Hey, thanks a lot for updating these resources.
I always loved the concept of the speed tier compendium but I end up never using it because its soo hard to read... I recognize that the clutter is necessary for , but I feel that important speed tiers should be somewhat highlighted (By bolding the speed stat, by putting it in another color or whatever or even making a separate table with only the most relevant speed tiers...) Also I find that in general the info is a bit hard to read with all the columns but here I think thats just me and I dont have a suggestion to fix it.
And while im here I found some typos :

These guys should be behind bars right?
