Pokemon Tier Discussion/Resource

Information


This is a discussion thread for one of the very few things PC is missing, a Tier List. Here you can discuss why you think a Pokemon should have a higher or lower Tier than it already does. We will be starting out with Marriland's Tier List but I think it's flawed a little so hopefully we can work out the kinks and have a good Tier reference for the battling section. To start off I'll list Marriland's Tier List:

Uber

This section is for Pokemon with insanly high stats that can't normally be defeated by a normal Tier Pokemon or they have a combination of huge movepools and gigantic overall stats.

Arceus
Darkrai
Deoxys (All forms excluding Speed)
Dialga
Giratina
Groudon
Ho-oh
Kyogre
Latias (regardless of Soul Dew)
Latios (Same as Latias)
Lugia
Manaphy
Mew
Mewtwo
Palkia
Rayquaza
