Either way, who cares. BL/OU movements are pretty much meaningless.

The only real function of OU is to warn newcomers about what they can expect to see. Old tiers should only be changed when there is a genuine wrongness to them, not when there is a question about which things on the borderline borderline should be on which side of it.
 
I wanna bring this up again since P2 has consistently enjoyed more usage than Jolteon (currently an OU) for the past 6 months since this thread was made. Additionally since the old analyses are currently being rewritten to represent todays metagame the tier list itself should get that benefit also, and while I am aware a bunch of low OUs have been moved down recently, as it is, it only makes sense as far as I'm concerned for P2 to go up and/or for Jolt to go down.
 
I agree. I feel like Cloyster should be moved to BL for the opposite reasons, I have not seen it in ages (it's generally Forretress or Skarmory + spinner, rarely ever do I see Cloyster).

No. Its struggling a fair bit atm but not enough to justify a drop. Besides, theres no stats to suggest its in the same realm as Vap or Cham.
 
I've always thought OU should be bigger than BL on principle alone, so I'm fine with Porygon2 being moved up. Not that it matters anyway.

Following the P2 for OU bandwagon. There has also been a huge rise of CM Team with Porygon2 in them in the past few months.
