*NOTE*: Before you make comments on a pokemons' tier, be sure the conditions are fair. Lower ranked pokemon can beat higher ranked pokemon. This does not mean the tiers need to be fixed. Just because a Butterfree can KO Heracross with Arial Ace does not mean that either pokemon is in the wrong tier. Thank you.

Ummm, no. just becaus something can do mind reader/OHKO, does not mean it's uber. Most of the Pokémon with both move means they have horrible stats. [[Image:Ani197MS.gif]][[User:Midnight Celtic|<span style="color:#9966CC;">Midnight Celtic</span>]][[Image:Ani148MS.gif]] 16:23, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

The thing about Weavile is that it has five great moves: Ice Punch, Brick Break, Night Slash, Pursuit, and Ice Shard (Occasionally they carry Aerial Ace, Focus Punch or Swords Dance as well). Of those five moves, All Weavile will have at least three. It actually isn't rare to see a Weavile with both Ice Punch and Ice Shard. Ninjask is probably a decent opener overall if you pair it with the right pokemon (Heracross, physical Infernape, etc.).

The list, however, is totally unrelated to doubles. Even then, the doubles environment is really suited more toward fast hard-hitters like Weavile and Infernape, and pokémon with 95 attack and a miserable 30 speed really shouldn't be used.

:OK, you got me there with Parasect's typing....  But Huntail's miserable speed is easily adjusted with one Rain Dance.  And its HP isn't THAT bad!  ESPECIALLY, now with Platinum out, Huntail can learn Sucker Punch.  A slow Pokémon with a STAB first strike move.  <small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

There is no official tier list. Many people/websites have their own tier lists. For example, some people say that Wynaut is Uber, while some say that it is BL. What is up with that? Obviously, the Tier List has no true content. May we delete it?

There shouldn't be a SSB tier list, since in that game it's possible to beat any character with any character.

::No one plays BL enough to say there is a metagame. And besides, BL, like Uber is merely a ban tier. Even if people start playing enough of it to have a metagame, its basic purpose is a ban tier.

I say that the Admins should get together and come up with Bulbapedia's own tier list, rather than using Smogon's (which, quite frankly, is a piece of $#!*; there's Pokémon that should be in at least BL, if not OU or even Uber, but are in UU just because people don't use them as much as others). Maybe establish a list of criteria that each Pokémon needs to meet/pass to be classified in each tier (example: for OU, they must capable of learning a moveset that can trump at least 7 types, as well as high Attack/Special Attack and high Speed), instead of just going by how often it gets used?

Garchomp was moved to Ubers by Smogon. While they don't really dictate what is and what is not in which tier, would it be worth moving him here as well?

Are you people actually doing these tiers based on usage for OU and UU and what Pokemon is jsut broken there (hence Uber and BL) or is it done by usefulness/strength?

:It's done by usefulness/strength. Take into account base states, types, move pool, abilities, etc., and you can create some seriously powerful pokémon, or just pieces of crap. Farfetch'd, for example, can unfortunately never be good. The only time I am aware of the metagame actually dictating where a pokémon goes is recently when Smogon bumped Garchomp from OU to Ubers, and that's going to reshape the whole game (we hope). Go read Smogon or something if you want to know in-depth. — <strong><span style="color:#0066CC">[[User:Antarctica|antarctica]]</span> | <span style="color:#99CCFF">[[User talk:Antarctica|talk]]</span></strong> 18:03, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
::And don't forget that you can't judge whether a Pokémon is in a particular tier or not just by looking at a few things. Rayquaza might be an Uber, but that doesn't mean that it can easily beat an OU Ice Punching Weavile. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 17:37, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
:::I know how Rayquaza can be beaten by OU Pokemon. Heck, standard Kyogre is beaten by Shedinja. Why is it then that you use usage terms that Smogon uses on their tier list when you aren't tiering by usage statistics (and what is generally broken)? Here's the perfect example: Magneton in 3rd gen. It is crap, yet OU merely because it was used as much as Skarmory just to beat Skarmory.. its crap everywhere else, but still OU. If you aren't going to use usage statistics than wouldn't different terms be more useful here? It conflicts with already existing terms. BL Pokemon aren't Pokemon inferior to OU half the time. They are merely Pokemon who are not over used but are broken in the lower tier. --[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 00:48, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 
== Garchomp ==
 
is ubers. [http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/garchomp Garchomp][[User:Scarfcrosspwns|Scarfcrosspwns]] 18:13, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 
== Maybe add some notes to the bottom of the page? ==
 
Should explain why certain Pokémon are in certain tiers.  Like Wynaut in Uber (still don't get that-as if it could take hits like Wobbuffet, and even then, Wobbuffet is far more manageable these days, what with Shed Skin, U-Turn, Roar, Whirlwind, Gastro Acid, Skill Swap, Worry Seed, the list goes on and on.  Then there's Sableye and Spiritomb, both unnaffected by Counter AND Mirror Coat.), Regigigas in BL (For those who don't know how truly awful Slow Start is), and- wait, why hasn't Garchomp been moved into Ubers on this list?  Smogon's ubers list has Garchomp, and it's not like they just added it to ubers on a whim, they took an entire month to test how battling would change w/o Garchomp, then they took the most experienced battlers, and had them vote on the matter.  The overwhelming majority of votes were for Uberizing Garchomp.  <small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

== Stop complaining ==
Everyone who's complaining that "This Pokémon should be OU instead of BL" or "How is this Pokémon OU when it should be UU"; KNOCK IT OFF. I agree that you can't just chuck a Pokémon in a spot based on a small number of statistics, but you have to remember that how powerful a Pokémon is is based off of how it was raised.
*Example: A Houndoom (BL) with SolarBeam goes up against a Groudon (Uber). The Houndoom knocks out the Groudon with only one hit. Does this mean that it's impossible for Groudon to be an Uber, or for Houndoom to be a BL? NO. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 17:32, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 
== Deletion of the list ==
 
Why can't we just delete the list? There is no official list, and each tier list can greatly vary. <span style="color:#0000FF">--'''''Posted by'''''</span> [[User:Deadlymethane|<span style="color:#7BA05B">'''''Deadly'''''</span>]][[User talk:Deadlymethane|<span style="color:#7BA05B">'''''methane'''''</span>]] <span style="color:#DA3287">'''at'''</span> 20:52, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
::I second that motion. Also because this tier list does not seem to be using usage statistics yet are using the traditional usage terms. They completely misclassify what a UU/OU/BL?Uber Pokemon is because of that. Yeah there is a corrolation between usage and usefullness, but things like 3rd gen Magneton completely destroys their definition when outside from killing Skarmory, it was shit yet was OU because it was used as much as Skarmory.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 00:42, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 
== {{p|Garchomp}} is in Ubers ==
 
Garchomp has gone up to Uber. So can someone edit the page and put him in Uber? [[User:Master Lucario|Master Lucario]]
:Uh... not that I've heard.  I'll start a topic on it on the forums, but until we can get a consensus on the issue, Garchomp isn't an uber.  --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#30D5C8">ニョロトノ</span>]][[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#FF69B4">''666''</span>]] 21:14, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
::Well, Smogon put him there because he overcentralized OU. He's been there for at least a couple of months now. [http://www.smogon.com/dp/tiers/uber Link here] [[User:Master Lucario|Master Lucario]]
:::A Donphan with {{m|Ice Shard}} can 3HKO (sometimes 2HKO) Garchomp, yet Donphan's not Uber.
