More nostalgia fetish time!!!! Anyway, this thread is for DPP Ubers w/o the level 100 limited EV Arceus, I'll leave a post for Theorymon to put in his Farceus viability rankings or he might just set up a separate thread.
S Rank: Reserved for the top threats in the Ubers metagame. These Pokemon are usually able to perform a variety of roles effectively, or can just do one extremely well with little to no extra support. Their use has low risk involved and high reward exerted. Pokemon in this tier have very few flaws that are patched up by numerous positive traits.
Darkrai
Dialga
Giratina-O
Kyogre
Palkia
A Rank: Reserved for Pokemon that are outstanding in the Ubers metagame and can sweep, wall, or support the majority of the tier. These Pokemon require less support than other Pokemon to be used effectively, but still perform less consistently than the average S rank Pokemon. A rank Pokemon have few flaws that can be overlooked when compared to their positive traits.

B Rank: Reserved for Pokemon who are slightly above average in the Ubers metagame. These Pokemon have more notable flaws than of those above it that affects how they function in the tier. Their positive traits still outshine their negatives, but they require a bit more team support to bring out their full potential
(Not enough Pokemon for three divisions, IMO)
