For competitive battles, for official rules I consider the ones set in Battle Subway/Battle Tower.
These are the most legit ones, definitely not the ones made up by Smogon.

That's why when I say "uber" I'm referring to one of overpowered legendaries.

You don't understand, I spent mornings, noons and night in my high school years playing that, it took a total of like 3 years to legitly get all those pokemon let alone IV/EV train. Too time consuming =/
yeah you'll probably never get back to where you were but you shouldn't let that stop you from enjoying the game

Yes, but often Pokemon like Wobbuffet are referred to as "uber" simply because Smogon decided so. This pisses me off.

Glad to get it right, though. :cool:
Actually the only non-legendary in smogon's uber tier is excadrill and this is their reasoning:

Excadrill serves two main roles in the Uber tier. Firstly, with a high base 135 Attack and an ability that doubles its decent base 88 Speed in sandstorm, Excadrill is a terrifying sweeper. Swords Dance is the icing on the cake, pumping Excadrill's already high Attack stat to insane levels. Excadrill has the perfect typing for a sweeper too, being immune to both Thunder Wave and Toxic, while resisting Stealth Rock. Its concise movepool contains all it needs to sweep, allowing it to act as a decent offensive Rapid Spin user. Secondly, Excadrill possesses the bulk and typing to run a bulky spinner set in the rain. Its ability, Mold Breaker, allows it to smash the commonly used spinblocker, Giratina-O, with a powerful STAB Earthquake.

Almost forgot Blaziken is in there too and only for his speed boost ability:

Forging new ground as the first starter Pokemon to ever become Uber, Blaziken appears to have a lot to live up to in the Uber metagame. However, it is perfectly capable of functioning well in Ubers, as thanks to Speed Boost, Blaziken will become nearly impossible to revenge kill as the boosts accumulate. Once enough boosts have been gathered, Blaziken can sweep rather easily with its sizable Attack stat and mighty dual STAB in Hi Jump Kick and Flare Blitz—the former hits a staggering 130 Base Power, and the latter is amped up in sunlight. These traits combine to make Blaziken nearly impossible to wall, enabling it to rip through most of the metagame with its powerful hits. Although it is frail and its STAB moves have unappealing side effects—Hi Jump Kick severely hurts Blaziken if it misses, and Flare Blitz causes huge amounts of recoil damage—Blaziken is still a massive threat that needs to be considered when making a team.

Blaziken? Lol Nah I'll admit Speed Boost with protect is a free stat increase + protection, but call it an Uber is taking it too far, thats putting it on the level of Garchomp, Salamence, Tyranitar, Dragonite, Hydregiddon and Metagross. The only one it stands a chance against is Metagross and even then, I'll doubt it will OHK it

I've indirectly beaten all of the Pokemon games. I grow up on generations 1-3 and I have a little brother who is now 10, that has had me help him beat all of them. I'm an OG Pokmeon Master and I liked Gold/Silver the best. <<< HATERS GON HATE

Well normally it wouldnt be on that level, not with blaze ability. But its a solid mixed sweeper and its hidden ability has the potential to boost its speed x5 for free and make it one of the fastest pokemon around and can tear you a new butthole if youre not prepared for it lol

but flying pokemon like salamance and dragonite definitely have an advantage against fighting type. however, in black and white 2 he can learn thunderpunch, not a OHKO but solid coverage
hydreigon has a weakness to fighting, so does tyranitar (x4 actually, thats a OHKO). I think blaziken could definitely do some damage if given time to boost its speed
