Hi ho. TMN here. I'm back again to talk about tiering, specifically the UnderUsed (or UU) tier.
Hopefully you all have a good grasp of how our tiering system at Smogon currently works. We create the standard environment rules by banning Pokémon to the Uber list when we feel that they overcentralize the metagame. Then we take a certain percentage of the most-used Pokémon in this standard metagame and label them OU (for OverUsed). We then create another play environment 'underneath' the standard one called UU by banning all Pokémon on the Uber and OU lists automatically, then banning any Pokémon that unbalance the resulting metagame to the BL (Borderline) list.
This is the way it's been done for a long time. My question for you is, "Why do you play UU?"
