Lower Tiers BL shrink proposal

Hello,

The UUBL tier has always been quite big. Not as big as in ADV, but still quite big nonetheless. In ADV, the proposal to retest BL pokemon has been made several times, but ultimately rejected as the ADV UU meta is protected. However, does this also hold for gen2?

Personally, I think it would be nice if we also modernized the cutoff between OU and UU, as the cutoffs between lower tiers are based on recent criteria for gen2. My proposal is to test some gen2 Pokemon from BL in UU, in the following order:

1. Entei
2. Venusaur
3. Articuno
4. Muk
5. Typhlosion


Entei in particular sounds like a logical step as its arch nemesis, Arcanine, is on the verge of being dropped to NU, the tier where the other formerly UU Fire Pokemon reside. Entei itself has a lower 90 base Satk, and his Atk is even more wasted with his lack of Extremespeed in gen2. I guess Entei has SunnyBeam to boot, but does that really elevate him this much?

I'm not very familiar with the history behind gen2 BL, and if the UU meta was active when BL was created. What do you think?
