    Tier changes:

    From OU to UU
    Dugtrio

    From UU to OU
    Reuniclus

    From UU to LU
    Qwilfish

    From LU to UU

    Nothing

    Unfortunately, we've lost a very unique Pokemon in Reuniclus, but we gain the trapper extraordinaire Dugtrio in exchange. The only other change was Qwilfish's fall into LU, where it will likely shine as a strong spiker and Entei check.

    As you can likely tell from the title, this will be the final tier change for BW UU. You may continue to discuss the tier and potential suspects in this thread until we permanently stop tiering for BW (which will hopefully be never I love you UU :c).

    Dugtrio should be interesting to use. Xatu, Blastoise, and Hitmontop, which are three of the most common hazard-removing/bouncing pokemon have no trouble dealing with it. Xatu can just U-turn out to a revenge killer, while Blastoise and Hitmontop can 2hko (focus sash) with Scald and priority moves.

    On an offensive note, Dugtrio can set up Stealth Rocks then use Memento to pave the way for an offensive sweep. It can also trap and revenge other threats like Chandelure, Victini, and Raikou easily with its STAB Earthquake.

    good to see Reuinclus move up. Although that makes my wiki analysis defunct. LU will enjoy having Qwilfish back.

    Dugtrio's quite interesting, will be a very effective check to victini, being able to trap and ko if vic ever decides to v create, cant think of many other things it'd be too useful for though, except maybe memento to allow whorebyss to smash pass next turn, just a thought.

    Well, at least it wasn't Jolteon -___-

    Dugtrio will be an interesting plot-twist in UU, probably forcing more bulk and priority in the tier. Also, it can trap some of the Pokemon that everyone's complaining about (Victini and Chandelure shall know pain).

    Hope the drop is for the best :)

    It at first surprised me that Reuniclus moved to OU. With low usage stats, I was expecting it to stay. But then I saw that Reuniclus did seem broken in the UU metagame, especially with the TR set.

    With Dugtrio, I'm going to like it. It can counter Raikou, Victini (at -1), Darmanitan, Chandelure; all these big names stand out and can make Dugtrio a very effective trapper and revenge-killer as long as the Focus Sash can be used (I mean this as in hazards don't break the sash) or even a Choice Band set to deal huge amounts of damage to anything else (Roserade in particular loses a good chunk of damage). Also, with Access to Memento, it can cripple or annoy wallbreakers as their attack stats will get halved, more or likely forcing a switch.

    Nah, people made a crusade(?) for Reuniclus to move up to OU.

    Dugtrio is...
    ...interesting.
