Composition

Ubers is the most inclusive of Smogon's tiers, allowing the use of any Pokémon species. Ubers is not influenced by Pokémon usage in OU, UU, RU, or NU, and the usage of Pokémon in Ubers has no influence on the compositions of those tiers.

A list of the current Ubers Pokémon and those with Ubers analyses for the BW era are found on the dex page.
