SHUCKLE MAN
98th
Anyway, for those who don't already know, here is the new OU list!
Aerodactyl
Alakazam
Azelf
Blissey
Breloom
Bronzong
Celebi
Cresselia
Donphan
Dragonite
Dugtrio
Dusknoir
Electivire
Empoleon
Flygon
Forretress
Gengar
Gliscor
Gyarados
Heatran
Heracross
Hippowdon
Infernape
Jirachi
Jolteon
Kingdra
Latias
Lucario
Machamp
Magnezone
Mamoswine
Metagross
Ninjask
Porygon-Z
Rhyperior
Rotom-A
Salamence
Scizor
Skarmory
Smeargle
Snorlax
Starmie
Suicune
Swampert
Tentacruel
Togekiss
Tyranitar
Vaporeon
Weavile
Zapdos
As you may notice, Latias is now listed! I'd be surprised if anybody didn't know this by now, but Latias is no longer Uber. Latios is still Uber though.
Also, Smeargle has risen up to OU from UU. Congratulations to those Smeargle fans!
And, Yanmega is the only Pokemon to fall from OU to UU. It will undergo testing soon to see if it will become UU or BL. However, Yanmega was VERY close to being OU again. It only just missed out. Porygon 2 also only just missed OU. It's ashame. It would've been the first NFE OU! It's always just missing OU.
On that note, these are the 6 Pokemon that are being tested for BL:
Abomasnow
Crobat
Froslass
Gallade
Raikou
Staraptor
So, in a few days, people will be voting on whether the mentioned Pokemon are going to be BL or UU.
And, these are the Pokemon that are in the first proper DP UU tier!
Absol
Altaria
Ambipom
Arcanine
Azumarill
Blastoise
Blaziken
Chansey
Charizard
Claydol
Clefable
Drapion
Electrode
Espeon
Feraligatr
Gardevoir
Hariyama
Hitmonlee
Hitmontop
Honchkrow
Houndoom
Kabutops
Lanturn
Ludicolo
Magmortar
Mesprit
Milotic
Miltank
Mismagius
Moltres
Muk
Nidoking
Nidoqueen
Ninetales
Omastar
Poliwrath
Porygon2
Primeape
Regirock
Registeel
Roserade
Rotom
Sceptile
Scyther
Shaymin
Slowbro
Spiritomb
Steelix
Swellow
Torterra
Toxicroak
Typhlosion
Umbreon
Uxie
Venusaur
Yanmega
Weezing
That's 57 Pokemon, and if none of the 6 suspects get voted BL, that will be 63 UUs! That's quite a lot if you ask me!
There's a few surprises in the UU list. Especially Scyther for me. I don't think it's particularly weak, but it didn't perform very well in previous UU statistics. In the case of UU, the Pokemon that just missed the cut was Rhydon. Poor soul. It's gradually getting more and more popular though. If it keeps gaining popularity, it'll surely be UU in July, unless Rhyperior falls out of OU of course.
And, all the Pokemon that haven't been mentioned in the 3 lists above, and aren't Uber are all NU.
So, Rhydon, Driftblim, Tangrowth, Manectric, Jumpluff, Leafeon, Floatzel, Kangaskhan, Medicham, Shuckle, and everything else are now NU! Seems like a very interesting tier to me. Sneasel is the fastest Pokemon there.
And, what I consider the major shock of this month's statistics! Regice came 95th in UU. Good grief! That's VERY low. It just can't match up to Chansey. But Regice scoring lower than Articuno? Wow!
And, the 30 most used Pokemon in OU in March:
1. Scizor
2. Salamence
3. Heatran
4. Gyarados
5. Infernape
6. Metagross
7. Tyranitar
8. Blissey
9. Swampert

1. Shaymin
2. Mismagius
3. Roserade
4. Registeel
5. Honchkrow

27. Absol
28. Ludicolo
29. Chansey
30. Umbreon
Funny story, I misread Espeon as Flareon, and let's just say, I gasped out loud. XD
And nice to see Grass and Fire types getting some of the limelight in UU. I'm surprised at the progress that Altaria made. It was NU in usage a couple of months ago.
And, the top 30 used in Ubers in March:
1. Kyogre
2. Groudon
3. Rayquaza
4. Darkrai
5. Palkia
6. Dialga
7. Wobbuffet
8. Scizor
9. Mewtwo
10. Deoxys-E (who would've thought this would be the most popular Deoxys 6 months ago!?)
11. Lugia
12. Blissey
13. Garchomp
14. Forretress
15. Giratina
16. Deoxys-F

24. Tyranitar
25. Mew
26. Ho-oh
27. Manaphy
28. Heatran
29. Ninjask
30. Ludicolo
And, in OU, here is a list of what each Pokemon is most commonly paired with. And to save time, those who have Scizor as their most common teammate will not be listed. So if a Pokemon isn't listed, it either didn't get enough usage for useful data to be collected, or its most common teammate was Scizor. And these are listed in alphabetical order:
Abomasnow - Walrein
Absol - Lucario
Alakazam - Salamence
Blastoise - Venusaur
Blissey - Salamence
Breloom - Heatran
Bronzong - Heatran
Cacturne - Tyranitar
Celebi - Heatran
Charizard - Gengar
Claydol - Blissey
Clefable - Abomasnow
Cradily - Tyranitar
Cresselia - Salamence
Donphan - Gyarados
Dusknoir - Blissey
Electivire - Gyarados
Electrode - Kingdra
Feraligatr - Gengar
Floatzel - Kingdra
Forretress - Blissey
Froslass - Abomasnow
Gardevoir - Salamence
Gengar - Salamence
Gliscor - Tyranitar
Heracross - Salamence
Hippowdon - Blissey
Hitmontop - Infernape
Honchkrow - Metagross
Houndoom - Gengar
Kabutops - Kingdra
Lanturn - Gyarados
Lucario - Salamence
Ludicolo - Kingdra
Machamp - Heatran
Magnezone - Salamence
Marowak - Ninjask
Metagross - Salamence
Miltank - Togekiss
Moltres - Starmie
Roserade - Heatran
Sceptile - Starmie
Scizor - Salamence
Shaymin - Infernape
Shuckle - Tyranitar
Skarmory - Blissey
Slowbro - Snorlax
Snorlax - Salamence
Spiritomb - Blissey
Staraptor - Infernape
Suicune - Salamence
Tangrowth - Heatran
Tentacruel - Skarmory
Umbreon - Lucario
Ursaring - Gengar
Venusaur - Blastoise
Walrein - Abomasnow
Weavile - Infernape
Weezing - Blissey
Some interesting things here. Well, there's the obvious pairings such as Abomasnow and Walrein, and pretty much every Rain Dance Pokemon is paired with Kingdra. Others like Lanturn and Electivire being paired with Gyarados are because Lanturn and Electivire like being hit by the Electric-type attacks aimed at Gyarados. Then there's Skarmory, Weezing and Forretress paired with Blissey, which is just like the SkarmBliss, WeezBliss and ForryBliss combos of the Advance days. Blastoise and Venusaur both being paired with each other a lot is a result of gimmick starter teams. It's the only explanation!
And, something rather funny. 96% of Walrein are teamed with an Abomasnow.
