The general idea of the topic is to rank each OU pokemon under "rankings" that go in descending order by type. There will be a thread for each type (one for normal, one for dragon, one for ice etc)
S rank - the best of the best. These Pokemon can sweep or wall significant portions of the metagame with little support. They can also perform multiple roles sucessfully, increasing their versatility.
A rank - very good. Unlike S-ranked Pokemon, however, they do require a little bit of support in order to do their job effectively.
B rank - good. They cannot really sweep through the metagame but they do have a given offensive or defensive niche (such as Dusknoir's SubPunch set). Also, Pokemon who are partially outclassed by other Pokemon in S or A rank may fall in this category.
C rank - average. They can be effective with the right support, but they have crippling flaws that might prevent them from doing their job or are almost completely outclassed by Pokemon in the above ranks.
D rank - bad. They do have a small niche, but don't expect them to do much. They should almost never be considered for a serious team.
So this is the list:
S rank

Don't be afraid to nominate other Normal-types or say that a Pokemon should be moved in X tier! You must, however, provide reasons.
