A true villain!

As we all impatiently wait for Gen7 PU to finally arrive, why not pass the time by visiting the unexplored metagame that is Gen4 PU?
During the month of October 2016, the Ruins of Alph held a special ladder for Gen4 NU. From this ladder, it is possible to obtain usage stats and base a PU tier from that. The usage stats can be found by clicking here. After the usage is found, the list of mons that are left for PU are as follows (except for Roselia and Linoone, who are banned):

Battle Clauses:

This project was a huge undertaking, and the final result of our hard work would not be as great as it is without all of your help!

Tournament Rules:
- All matches will be best of three, played in Gen4 UU specifically.
- Single Elimination.
- All pairings will be assigned at random.
- Replays are REQUIRED. Any matches that are not recorded and posted will be treated as if they did not happen. This is required to help with the cultivation of the metagame and record-keeping.
- If your opponent uses an illegal mon, then your opponent forfeited that particular game by doing so. Since the mons list is available in 2 different formats, there is a list of Illegal NFEs in the resource post, and there are sample teams provided, there is no adequate excuse for using an illegal mon.
- Extensions will be provided, but only if there is a stated time in the request. These requests for extensions cannot extend past 1 week however. Activity wins will also be given upon request and investigation, however if both players showed equal effort in scheduling (or lack thereof) then the match will be decided via virtual coinflip.
- Remember to have fun!
- For more specific rules regarding ghosting, scheduling, etc., or if you simply need more detail, click here.
Battle Clauses:
- Baton Pass Clause. A team cannot have more than one Pokemon with the move Baton Pass. The Pokemon that does have Baton Pass cannot pass a combination of Speed + another stat.
- Sleep Clause. A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokémon.
- Evasion Clause. A player cannot increase their pokémon's evasion stat with a move that specifically increases evasion. Items or indirect boosts do not break this clause.
- OHKO Clause. Players cannot use moves that have a chance of instantly KO opposing Pokémon. For example, Horn Drill is an illegal move to have on a Pokémon's move set.
- Species Clause. You cannot use the same Pokemon twice on the same team. For example, you cannot use two Rhydon.
