While most Pokémon in the Uber tier are there due to high stats, {{p|Wobbuffet}} is often classed as an Uber because of its {{a|Shadow Tag}} [[Ability]], along with {{m|Encore}}, its high HP stat, {{m|Counter}}, and {{m|Mirror Coat}}; this lets it trap any opponent Pokémon and lock them into any move, so that the player knows what their opponent will do next, which allows the player to either switch out Wobbuffet knowing what the opponent will do, or use {{m|Counter}} or {{m|Mirror Coat}} to damage the opponent. Wobbuffet's pre-evolution, {{p|Wynaut}}, is also often banned for similar reasons. Wobbuffet is not usually Uber in Generation V tier lists. | While most Pokémon in the Uber tier are there due to high stats, {{p|Wobbuffet}} is often classed as an Uber because of its {{a|Shadow Tag}} [[Ability]], along with {{m|Encore}}, its high HP stat, {{m|Counter}}, and {{m|Mirror Coat}}; this lets it trap any opponent Pokémon and lock them into any move, so that the player knows what their opponent will do next, which allows the player to either switch out Wobbuffet knowing what the opponent will do, or use {{m|Counter}} or {{m|Mirror Coat}} to damage the opponent.

{{p|Blaziken}} is often classed as an Uber because of its {{a|Speed Boost}} [[Hidden Ability]], which when combined with {{m|Swords Dance}}, Blaziken becomes very powerful and faster than most opponents. Other non-legendary Pokémon such as {{p|Excadrill}} are considered Uber due to their movepools, high base stats, type, and Abilities. Conversely, {{p|Kyurem}} (in its normal and [[Form differences#Kyurem|Black]] formes) is not considered Uber despite its very high base stat total and lack of a hindering [[Ability]] such as {{ | {{p|Blaziken}} is often classed as an Uber because of its {{a|Speed Boost}} [[Hidden Ability]], which when combined with {{m|Swords Dance}}, Blaziken becomes very powerful and faster than most opponents.
