BW UU Viability Rankings
Welcome to the BW UU Viability Rankings!
Here, our goal is to sort every Pokemon with viability in BW UU into rankings that can distinguish them all based upon their specific value in the tier. The community and the Viability Ranking's council will work together to refine the rankings from time to time to make sure they are as accurate as possible. Being an oldgen, updates will happen infrequently, but we will work to keep ranks up to date for any developments that occur.
The S tier contains a select few metagame-defining Pokemon, the best of the best, and the A tiers reflect on the Pokemon which are extremely effective but flawed in some aspects. The B tier is slightly more expansive, with the B+ tier representing Pokemon that are fairly common and threatening but aren't as threatening or consistent as those in A-. The B and B- tiers represents Pokemon which can fill relevant holes in team building, despite having more weaknesses in the current meta. B- being more niche in these cases. The C tiers display Pokemon who fill value on specific team building Archetypes, but do not give much value beyond that. They also contain Pokemon who may be more niche or seen as usable, but are generally outclassed by more prominent Pokemon in the tier. Below the C tier, the generic D tier displays the rest of the Pokemon that are usable in UU, but don't have a niche that is appreciated by most UU teams.
All Pokemon are also ordered within each subrank, so the top Pokemon in A+ is considered "better" than the Pokemon below it. As we go into lower subranks, the differences become more and more negligible, so feel free to comment your opinion below on any of the rankings. This organization was made possible due to
Felucia being gracious enough let us use their resources. Big thank you to them! Without further adieu, let's get to the rank!
