ORAS OU Tournament Usage [2024 - 2026]​

Hello, this is a project I've been dreaming of for years now. This is about fixing the ORAS OU builder. To be clear, this is not going to change the actual tiering for any Pokemon, that is locked and cannot be changed. This will only change how certain Pokemon are displayed in the OU teambuilder. For example, Mega Tyranitar and Mega Latias are considered OU by technicality (OU), despite them having basically OU status. Finally, Pokemon such as Starmie, Breloom, Azelf, and perhaps even Mega Manectric and Gengar are Pokemon that spammed on the ladder despite having little usage in tournaments, making them more deserving of the (OU) display.

Starting with BW when gens had live ladders and usage-based tiering, old gens cannot go back and change the tiering as it is locked. (OU) display is based on bi-yearly ladder usage, which poses the problem as stated above. Our other option was viability-based tiering, which is hard to approve. Tournament usage is a viable option but takes a ton of work. Thankfully, Murphy Lawden (HUGE SHOUTOUTS MY GOAT) who helped aggregate tournament usage and count the Mega usage, and we now have tournament-based usage.

The tournaments I chose were in three categories to represent a broad tournament presentation in ORAS. 1) High level official tours (SPL/WCop/Masters), 2) ORAS team tours (ORASPL/ORASCL), and 3) Other forum-based popular team tours that have ORAS (OUPL, ADPL). I chose not to include RoAPL as it is moving away from ORAS anyways. I chose 2 years as I think that would generate enough data. We could do this every two years or even every year since it's easy to do so. Will possibly consider individuals like circuit but that would need proper replay archiving.

On UUBL: I'm not sure what the policy is here. I'm aware that tier leaders would rather lock them "so that UU can retain the ability to retest them." However, I think that's kind of insane for a Pokemon that is basically OU by every metric to fall down to UU based on this metric, plus I do think UU has literally 0 interest in testing the UUBLs that are OU-staples, much less any UUBL. For example, Mega Alakazam, Mega Gyarados, and Volcarona are all UUBL Pokemon despite them being high viability and usage in OU. I would like to propose, backed by council, that we also move the UUBL mons that exceed 3.14% usage to OU. We can also coordinate with UU council to do this as well.

Here is a full list:
- SPL XVI + XVII
- WCOP 2025 + 2026
- Smogon Masters II + III
- ORASPL IV + V
- ORASCL II
- OUPL VIII + IX
- ADPL VIII + XI

Here is the usage by individual tournament type:

In my opinion this is a no brainer. I get the policy of why things were set they way they were - but in our cases specifically theres a ton of flaws with how the tier settled in official UUBL/OU tiering.

There is no practical reason to keeping Mega Alakazam in particular, but also the other major threats here like Volcarona, listed BL, while they are extremely common and meta defining. A lot of this is a downstream effect of the timing of the Sableye ban, basically buzzer beating the generation change. Zam again is the clear point here - losing its best counter and skyrocketing in viability AND usage from there.

We also lost Dugtrio after the generation, which is not unique to ORAS, but from what I recall the ladder at the end of the generation was run rampant with Dugtrio+Sableye stalls.

Of course, Zam is often regarded as arguably the best Mega or at the very least top 3 in modern times. Its usage reflects that - a massive, massive threat - and we owe it to newer players or people who are just on the simulator tinkering about to put that guy right at the top of the builder. It is very simple.

This doesn't result in any actual tiering. Yes, UU has the right to test it if its currently UUBL. They wont unban this stuff. Lets just be real. Volcarona and Zam have had ban calls in OU before. And everything else is just cleaning stuff up again for the betterment of the newcomer. Regular Zam I am not sure if theres ever been a movement to move that down, let alone mega, and the base form is still there with no change whatsoever should UU wish to perform action.

I should also note what this does not seem to do is propose adding new UUBL's but rather new OU by technicalities. A very important distinction that does not disrupt UU whatsoever.

I also don't think we need to make this a recurring thing. But a clean up is absolutely necessary.

So I think this is a great project, it should result in a reformation of a lot of technicalities in the tiering of ORAS, and it is many, many years overdue.
 
I hope that this can be implemented on Showdown because this is pretty phenomenal work, sending mons to (OU) instead of UUBL is also a really good idea as to not disrupt UU whatsoever (not that I would expect UU to unban stuff like Gengar and Pinsir-Mega anyway).

I've long been of the opinion that frozen tiers restrict meta development in old gens by virtue of people laddering with mons that would not be considered OU otherwise, and likewise not exploring rising stars from UU as much as they should. All-around great stuff, very glad to see attempted tiering action in an old gen.
 
For UUBL, that is not on the table (probably ever or until the foreseeable future) as tiering policy itself doesn't allow it

Aside from UUBL, this was implemented in terms of updating (OU)!!

We find here that Azelf, Breloom, Starmie, Gengar, Mega Gardevoir, and even Mega Pinsir are finally in their correct place, in (OU) as they have very low real usage in current tournament usage in ORAS.

Meanwhile, Mega Tyranitar and Mega Latias rise to their proper tier in OU, not (OU), as they are full fledged Pokemon with high usage in the tier.

This is a better and more representative view of the meta, which what this project was aiming to do. Enjoy your new look at the ORAS builder. Thank you everyone!
