What are the non-legendary Pokemon added to BW Ubers and why?

Question

Except Blaziken.

Comments

By "non-legendary", do you also mean non-mythical? Or should I explain why all mythical Ubers Pokemon are in Ubers?

Answer 1

This answer assumes you don't want an explanation for every mythical Pokemon in Ubers. If this assumption is wrong, please tell me and I'll convert or hide this answer.

Blaziken is currently the only Pokemon in the Gen 5 Ubers tier (i.e. banned in OU) that is neither legendary nor mythical. Kyogre and Groudon are the only banned weather setters, and all Pokemon that can have Sand Veil, Arena Trap, Shadow Tag, Snow Cloak, Sand Rush or Moody are allowed in OU as long as they don't have one of the banned abilities.

You didn't want an explanation for Blaziken, so this should completely answer your question.

Comments

The question asks for Pokémon *except* for Blaziken.

And the answer says such a Pokemon doesn't exist.

I did some digging and found out Excadrill was banned to Ubers before because of Sand Rush iirc. Also, even Garchomp was banned to BW Ubers before if non legendary included psuedo legendaries.

---

Should the answer include Pokemon that were banned and then unbanned later?

---

Can someone make this BA? By unbanned later you mean Garchomp sumwun? I think you should add it, but explain why it was unbanned.

You can flag answers deserving of BA yourself.

Answer 2

If you want the smogon Uber tier, then I believe that so far only Hydregion, Blaziken, Reniculus, Pokemon with the ability Inconsistent, and all instant weather setters besides Abomasnow. The reason for this: smogon sucks at battling. They can't seem to beat these guys for some reason. I for one can take these weaklings down with ease.

If you want to know which non-legendaries are banned in my tier, which is the one used on Pokemon Online by us when against each other, only Wobbuffet, Wynaut, and Shedinja are banned.

Hydreigon was never banned to ubers. Neither were any of the instants weather setters. This answer contains outright misinformation.

Tbh this was back in 2011, when PO was a lot more popular than PS!. Based on the answer, bans of PO Ubers were Wynaut, Wobuffet and Shedinja. Bans of Smogon Ubers seem to be assumptions as trachy didn't seem to care about Smogon at all, as can be seen in the answer. But yeah, the answer is hella outdated especially now that PO doesn't exist anymore.

The rules say to do basic research before answering.  It takes like 2 minutes of googling to show this answer is incorrect. You shouldn't write an answer purely based on assumptions.

---

This answer was written over a decade ago, competitive Gen 5 was way different from Gen 8

---

It was still incorrect in gen 5, back when it was written.  Hydreigon and the weather setters were legal in smogon ou in 2011.

@cdijk I'm not trying to normalise them but bad answers were pretty common before ~2013 here, since quality rules weren't implemented so firmly. If you find such bad answer questions then feel free to answer them (that's what most of my answers are at this point) or post them on the Outdated Mega Thread.

Alright, thanks. Will do.
