Maybe the people who didn't want Garchomp in UU used it so much that it stayed OU

Data Usage-Based Tier Update for July 2023

I suppose with HOME influx it was inevitable but now Skeledirge and Meowscarada have fallen as well.
With that aside UU is basically going to be an entirely different beast in this metagame now with this many drops, some went all the way down to even lower tiers so the new lower tier metas now should be fun.

With all the fighting and steel types in RU, H-Avalugg’s gonna have a hard time fitting in. Maybe people will use it in UU enough to make the tier
Nobody is speaking about the fact Blissey dropped to NU
When will these tier changes take effect?
Arcanine-Hisui moved from OU to UU
Basculegion moved from OU to UU
Basculegion-F moved from OU to UU
Breloom moved from OU to UU
Goodra-Hisui moved from OU to UU
Kleavor moved from OU to UU
Lilligant-Hisui moved from OU to UU
Meowscarada moved from OU to UU
Moltres-Galar moved from OU to UU
Rillaboom moved from OU to UU
Skeledirge moved from OU to UU
Thundurus moved from OU to UU
Thundurus-Therian moved from OU to UU
Tornadus-Therian moved from OU to UU
Zapdos-Galar moved from OU to UU
Zarude moved from OU to RU
Hoopa moved from OU to NU
Tornadus moved from OU to NU
Tauros moved from OU to PU
Orthworm moved from UU to RU
Blissey moved from RU to NU
Whenever there’s a new wave of Pokémon, there’s also a new wave of bans.

Now I have proof that
Basculegion is overrated
Basculegion is overrated
Basculegion is overrated
Basculegion is overrated
Come on, it even fell to UU. That’s gotta say something, right?

Why did some Pokémon from Home drop more tiers than the ones that ended on UU?
To quote the OP:
OU to UU -> below the 4.52% cutoff
OU to RU -> below 1/15th of 4.52%
OU to NU -> below 1/30th of 4.52%
OU to PU -> below 1/60th of 4.52%
iron treads getting more usage than garchomp we lost
It says that mons with 2 forms which are basically equivalent get hurt by the 4.52% threshold.
The sum of their usage is higher than 5% in any case
If Ceruledge, which was considered a bad mon in OU, just dropped to UU, that means Iron Threads can also drop to UU in another tier update
sorry if you didn't notice: H-Avalugg is a PU at best
Did anyone ever think Iron Treads is ya know... good? And that's why it's still OU?
Got hyped for 2 days when Eleki existed and people still think could compite with Tusk, Lando and Thing Lu
i think it's a crime that iron treads is above roaring moon dondozo and garchomp
Obviously it's the first update of a new meta, but even then, some of these are quite surprising. Would've thought Dirge still had enough defensive utility to stay OU, and UU and RU both lost meta-defining pokemon in Shocks and Gardevoir. Obligatory "even with this, Forretress and Iron Treads haven't dropped" it's Ambipom/Electivire/Dusknoir/Cinccino syndrome all over again
garchomp is eternal.
LIKE DOOM
(sorry, stupid joke)
also, giratina-o has seen a lot of ubers usage, compared to last gen
breloom finally fell. finnaly, a good effing spore pokemon
also, luxray is on a roll
also, hoopa, Torn-i and bliss in NU, WTF
