BW OU Viability Ranking Thread
Welcome to the BW OU Viability Ranking thread. This thread contains a ranking of every viable Pokemon, separated in tiers to indicate power gaps. You may notice that they are not ranked alphabetically within their own subtiers; that is because every Pokemon is ranked within their subranks too. For example, if Latios and Ferrothorn are both S rank, but Latios is ranked higher than Ferrothorn, then Latios is the better one of the two.
Keep in mind that rankings are subjective and that your opinion is not a fact, but rather, you should use facts to support your opinions.

The old VR desperately needed updating so I took the liberty to make a new thread. I didn't make these rankings myself, I used all the posts in the old thread and made an average out of them, so shoutouts Finchinator Mannat McMeghan ABR dice peng M Dragon elodin Raiza for the contributions. A lot of subpar Pokémon that were ranked in the old thread are gone.
Sleep vote and SPL 11 are right around the corner and we'll see how the metagame develops, so this should be updated again soon.
