True, but I'd prefer to use an all OU team until I get more experience in the competitive scene.Gliscor is UU, but it hasn't changed. It's still a viable Pokemon in OU.

Being OU, UU, etc. doesn't matter in the slightest. It doesn't determine how good or viable a pokemon is in another meta. The only thing it determines is how popular it is. Tangrowth in ORAS, for example, was RU for the longest time but was always a great OU Pokemon, and then viola it got OU usage, and nothing changed at all in the long run. Use whatever your team needs, UU is basically ORAS OU at this point anyways.True, but I'd prefer to use an all OU team until I get more experience in the competitive scene.
OU Pokémon are still more viable than UU in general. There's a reason they are used more, and though popularity might play into it, it's not the biggest factor. Nothing wrong with using OU stuff if you're still starting out. That said, the meta is still young, and there's likely to be many changes.Being OU, UU, etc. doesn't matter in the slightest.

Yeah I know, my point was that you shouldn't discredit a mon or be reluctant to use it based on its tier.OU Pokémon are still more viable than UU in general.

http://pastebin.com/9FBtJmTpwich mons are banned from RU?
Trevenant too.Hey at least Lucario's amazing in RU now
>inb4 quickban
As people have said, many mons' viability will shift once the tiers sort themselves out. Never forget Quagsire, lads.
I used Lucario in UU. Once or twice. Then made a team that enjoyed much more.I was likely the 0.159% using Lucario. :,(

Trust me, Lucario won't get quickbanned anytime soon. Due to it's capability of getting revenge killed as well as LO recoil and weaknesses to the most common types in the metagame (Fighting,Fire,Ground) it'll have a long way to go from getting quickbanned from RU btw. A lot of things can survive a ESpeed from it too like Donphan, Emboar, Mienshao, and many more that can in turn hit back and KO Lucario or leave a huge dent to it with STAB moves or priority. And yeah never forget quag lol.
So here's the sitch: when Pokebank was released, PS decomissioned the pre-bank tier and renamed the "pokebank" tier to be "gen7ou" (e.g.). This means that "gen7ou" is a combination of pre-bank and post-bank data, and the "pokebank" tier doesn't contain any data from post-pokebank release.
I'm going to rerun my scripts to try to combine all "pokebank" data and exclude post-bank from the "pre-bank" stats, but (1) it's going to take a few days and (2) it's not going to be perfect, since the change happened midway through the 26th, and I have no feasible way of separating stats that are of the same tier name and on the same day.
That being said, I'm going to go ahead and post all the stats I have in their current state and just expect to get a bunch of questions regarding why X is in the pre-bank stats.
I'm also not going to hold off on updating the UU banlist, because it's rare for five days' worth of data to change much. When my rerun finishes, I'll update the OU list as appropriate.

there are better stuff at breaking walls tho.Xurkitree breaks walls
why the fuck people still use xurkitree blows my mind
Because a LOT of people copy pasted robopoke's RMT team which includes BP w/ Xurk.why the fuck people still use xurkitree blows my mind. Anyways im shocked people haven't picked up on how good bronzong and gastrodon are right now. They are great in the current meta game same with serperior
Thundurus-T does it better, though, since it's got a better movepool and a superior Speed tier of 101, which is a troll number. Volt Absorb also gives it utility, letting it soft check Tapu Koko among others.Xurkitree breaks walls

It is official: Landorus-T is Primal Groundon of OU.
OU is so overcentralized around few top threads. It is time to change.
