OU Tier


OU stands for OverUsed and it is the Standard Metagame that most people play.  The OU Tier allows all Pokémon that are in OU and below.  All Pokémon that are above the OU Tier are banned.  The only Pokémon above OU are Pokémon in the Uber Tier, who are there for being too powerful for OU's metagame.  OU is determined by usage so the top used Pokémon are deemed OU.

The List Currently Includes:

The OU Tier allows anything in the below tiers, it bans anything Uber.

The OU Tier also bans from it's metagame something that is explained in this specific rule:

The Drizzle+Swift Swim Combination
The Pokémon Politoad gets the ability Drizzle which summons infinite Rain weather.  Some other Pokémon get the abilty Swift Swim which doubles their speed in Rain.  The combination of using a Pokémon with Drizzle and Swift Swim on the same team is banned.

My country lay within a vast desert. When the sun rose into the sky, a burning wind punished my lands, searing the world. And when the moon climbed into the dark of night, a frigid gale pierced our homes. No matter when it came the wind carried the same thing... Death. But the winds that blew across the green fields of Hyrule brought something other than suffering and ruin. I coveted that wind, I suppose. It can only be called fate... That here, I would again gather the three with the crests... That I should lay my hand on that which grants the wishes of the beholder... That when power, wisdom, and courage come together, the gods would have no choice but to come down... The power of the gods... The Triforce! He who touches it will have whatever he desires granted!
