Arceus with its own Tier?

[AbsolKnight66]

This isn't a fact. I'm just wondering, if Arceus is banned from all tiers in Wi-fi Battles, should it get its own tier? Like BFWB? (BAnned from Wif Battles)

 

[Katipunero]

I think its only fair if the opponent can also use a legendary pokemon

 

[BynineB]

You can't be banned from Ubers unless you're unreleased, which has been in the case of Arceus prior to it's give away.

 

[Dattebayo]

No, Arceus shouldn't get its own tier as its stats are outclassed by a few ubers, mostly Deoxys.

 

[Aquadon]

If Arceus was banned from all Wi-Fi, what is the point of its creation?

 

[BlueMew7]

...Are you serious? Even though Arceus has the highest stat sum, it doesn't mean it should be banned. It's easily counterable just like any other Pokemon. Plus there are a lot of legendaries that have a higher stat sum for a certain stat than Arceus. 120 is not that high for a legendary. It's actually pretty low considering it's the Pokemon's highest stat.

I think it would take the excitement out of getting Arceus. Besides, its ability makes it easier to predict its moveset.

Saying Arceus is outclassed is ridiculous. It is far from it. As a wall, it has the instant recovery many other walls that don't have it wish they have as well as great Attack, Special Attack and Speed letting it actually do something back to what it is walling instead of stalling out which can be foiled by critical hits and as a sweeper, it holds many advantages over others. Among Ubers its Attack and Special Attack may be lower than some of the more dedicated Physical ones like Rayquaza and Garchomp and Special ones like Kyogre and Mewtwo but it is faster than most of them and generally a lot bulkier making it easier to switch in and more difficult to revenge kill. It is as bulky as Cresselia on the Physical side and slightly less bulky than her on the Special side. Banning it even from Uber battles is ridiculous. Uber is already a ban tier and banning it even from the Uber Metagame is ridiculous. Ubers are banned from Standard for a good reason and that is enough. Another tier beyond that is stupid.

It's pretty much useless then.
Besides, Arceus can be easily defeated by a good number of Pokemon.

Final has put this as simply as you can. Arceus does not need it's own tier. Average stats all around. It's just a bulkier version of pokemon with 100 base stats in all stats, like Jirachi, Celebi, Shaymin, Manaphy, etc. It's easy enough to counter, although it can do well. But that is no reason to giv eit it's own tier when it would be a tier just to itself.
