Kyurem sucks.
People use UNOWN in UBERS? The world is going to end.

It was an obvious troll team. It spelled out the word "PENIS", I'm suprised they didn't use "!" or "?" Unown as the last team member.
I thought I heard that Droughtpix was banned in LC, but I never play it (I only play its "cousin", NFE) so I'm not too sure about LC-related things banlist-wise.
DroughtPix is only banned on the PO server.
Remember Snover has the ever needed priority in Ice Shard for LC :)
It is quite interesting that the stats ended so close to the PO server ones. Also that rain is no where near what I thought it would be. Conkledurr at 11 surprises me because while he is powerful Gliscor is such an incredible check and I don't really even run into them very often. Also thought Gorebyss and Slowbro would be much highly considering how well they perform in this meta. Thanks so much RD, this is such an awesome resource.

I don't know why anyone would have ever thought Rain would be ahead of Sand. The majority of this metagame is based around sand and it's become very boring and stale already.
The majority of every metagame since Gen 3 has been based around Sand. What's any worse about it now?
Gen 3 wasn't really based around sand. There was just the Sand-stall archetype, among many others.
Gen 4 had pretty much perma-sand, and you planned around it.
Gen 5 has rain and sun that can keep up with sand.

In a way I do. The size of OU increased every generation so far, so in a way, it'd be nice to continue the trend. Also, there's like 600+ Pokemon now. If we have, say, 3 usage tiers, and an average of 50 Pokemon make each tier, that covers only 150 of the 600 Pokemon. A slightly higher average of something like 65 would allow us to get more of the total number of Pokemon usable in different metagames.
However, from a statistical point of view, the current cut-off matches our current definition of OU. The definition of OU would have to be changed to lower the cut-off point, if that makes sense.
I don't know really. There's pros and cons both ways. I can also see some of the higher up players complaining if OU is a bit larger, because they'll be like "Oh, but I never see the #63 Pokemon" or whatever.
Why is Swampert so high up? Last gen it was okay but seriously, this gen it's simply not worth it. There are better SRs and for bulky waters you have Gastrodon, Vaporeon and a whole bunch of new bulky mofos.
second that
but i think it might be its weakness to...most of the priorities and most of those priorities are abused a hella by many of the top threats like roobushin
WOAH WOAH, wait up. Blastoise is #50 in UBERS?? Sure, its got Rain Dish now, but geez...
We do have a UU tier, it's just huge and unbalanced. Hooray for unconformity.
@ Water
And you're not suprised at Charizard at #31? It's because of the "noobs" that use their favorites
Actually, somewhere in those stats, I'm suprised that Stantler's only been used once. Sure, it sucks, but in this case, I think it's just that people forgot about him rather than purposely not using him.
Therefore it would be pretty cool if you wanted to program them. They aren't in PO and IIRC there aren't any plans for it. :p
I credit Heist with the Unfezant uses...
