this kinda made me lol, as most of us probably see at least half of the Standard teams only consisting of 6 of these 8 pokes (give or take skymin)Among these OU Pokemon, the following are used frequently:
Blissey
Gengar
Gyarados
Heatran
Lucario
Metagross
Salamence
Scizor
(8 Pokemon)
Remember, these are taken from stats from September 12th onwards. If you actually had the time (or the willingness) to read the original post, it said clearly that another, better, OU list will be released next month.i cant believe lucario is still "used frequently" i've barely seen any of them since scizor got bullet punch
I don't understand what you're trying to say.this kinda made me lol, as most of us probably see at least half of the Standard teams only consisting of 6 of these 8 pokes (give or take skymin)
Bullet Punch changes a lot, and it shows, I've seen it do quite considerable damage to even my Empoleon.Heh. Scizor used to be UU in the past months. Now look at it, it's one of the top eight used pokemon... I always loved scizor, but it's just not fitting anywhere in my team >_>
It's a good thing gengar is still in the top of the top :D
By the way, is the 'top 8' list written in alphabetical order or in 'frequentlical' order? It seems to be alphabetical..
Shaymin-S is a suspect Pokemon, which means that it will be tested in the Suspect ladder eventually.Grr... Shaymin-S, am I the only one who thinks that it should be Uber? I made a rant vid on Youtube about that one but that was mainly to kill time, when is it likely that there will be a possibility of Skymin moving? Well, while it isn't could someone give me a counter I desperately need one. Also love that Donphan made it, my favourite spinner.
It is alphabetical. They're basically the top 8 used Pokemon written in alphabetical order.By the way, is the 'top 8' list written in alphabetical order or in 'frequentlical' order? It seems to be alphabetical..
actually i did read the original post, but for some reason i was thinking it said that these were the stats for platinum changes on.Remember, these are taken from stats from September 12th onwards.

Porygon-Z got Trick.How did P-Z make it back on the list? When it moved down to BL, everyone belittled it saying how Azelf outclasses it and now its back with no apparent reason and no improvement? Anyone care to shed some light on this? or perhaps a moveset/ev usage list for P-Z.
Edit: found it...

nope still don't get why, half the people using timid lifeorb and others modest choice scarf, doesn't look so special to me. x.X
On the contrary, Alakazam has been OU in every single generation. However, in this gen his usefulness was reduced a lot.Porygon-Z got Trick.
Also glad to see Kazam in OU. Don't really get it...but I believe this is the first time its been OU since RBY.
My bad, I thought it was BL on Smogon's G/S tier. Certainly is on R/S, though...On the contrary, Alakazam has been OU in every single generation. However, in this gen his usefulness was reduced a lot.
Personally, I find it pretty weak and easy to counter.
Alakazam may not be able to take a single hit, but that's not really what it was designed for. Anyway, he's not outclassed entirely, he still has better SAtk and Speed and I'll take that over Fire Blast any day.Azelf came in with a much better movepool, Nasty Plot, and defenses stronger than a wet paper bag, and ensured that Alakazam was outclassed as an attacker in pretty much every way.
