The Current OU Metagame

Recommended Posts

So, as the 5th Generation Metagame progresses, we have seen some trends move in, and some leave. Because of Coyotte's implementation of statistics, the people at Pokemon Online were able to create the current OU metagame, as seen in this image:

This is a very recent gathering of statistics, taken from both Beta Server and /tr/. So, as people of Reborn, what are you surprised at this Generation, as the new metagame is shaped?

Ice beam ftw.

Toxic hits the lovely legendary Groudon he pulls out. Dragon pulse does measly 21%

Earthquake hits for 52%, ice beam kills groudon.
Wobbufet comes in. encores mirror coat.
mirror coat battle, toxic kills wobuffet, leftovers heals blastoise to full.

[quote]I think I should just point out that this list is hardly reliable, due to the extremely unstable state of the metagame.[/quote]

OU is based off of usage, not the power of a PKMN. Remember that. I honestly think the list has gotten a lot better since when they started at the beginning of October; there's very little on the list I'm questioning. I'm just wondering where the fuck some Pokes like [b]Latias, Mew, and Celebi[/b] are. The two former were Uber last generation and would fuck up UU beyond all repair.

Although it is based on usage, if a Pokemon is extremely powerful, or "good" in another way, people will probably use it, which gives the same result. However, when the Pokemon haven't been avaliable for very long, no one is really sure about this, and there's more random stuff, which decreases over time. I have no clue what happened to Celebi, but lack of Mew and Latias may be due to the fact that many people still consider them Uber, and just don't want to use them

Mence and Chomp, many people either think
A. Oh hey, the new gen is here. They're not broken enough to be Uber anymore! =D
or
B. They just didn't are that they were Uber in the first place
Latios leaves me somewhat stumped, although a possible explanation is that it's only low OU, so it may be the same thing as Latias, only to a lesser extent, since many people coonsider him "superior" for some unearthly, illogical reason
