The Official Little Cup Tier List
Use Control-F to find the Pokemon you are looking for.

Ubers/Banned (6)
These are too strong for normal play.

Meditite, Murkrow, Scyther, Sneasel, Yanma, Tangela.

Additionally the item DeepSeaTooth is banned. This only affects Clamperl.

Under Testing/Limbo (0)
These may be banned, but are not as of now.
If you want to suggest a Pokemon is tested please post a thread about it.

OU (44)
These are very common, but not strong enough to be banned.
Do not suggest a Pokemon is moved to OU, the usage stats chose what Pokemon get in.

Abra, Aipom, Bagon, Barboach, Bellsprout, Bronzor, Buizel, Carvanha, Chinchou, Cranidos, Croagunk, Cyndaquil, Diglett, Doduo, Dratini, Drifloon, Duskull, Elekid, Exeggcute, Gastly, Gible, Gligar, Hippopotas, Houndour, Kabuto, Machop, Magnemite, Mankey, Mantyke, Meowth, Misdreavus, Munchlax, Omanyte, Paras, Ponyta, Porygon, Slowpoke, Snover, Squirtle, Staryu, Taillow, Teddiursa, Voltorb, Wailmer.

When OU settles the lower Metagames will be fully organized, and there will be a BL/UU merger ala Obi's proposal.

OU is determined by usage stats so do not ask for something to be put in OU.

If you want to suggest that something is moved to or from "Under Testing" or "Banned" please post a thread about it with a good explanation of why.

Suggestions for Movements BL<--> UU/NU are welcome in this thread. Use the following format:

[Pokemon] [Tier its in] ---> [Tier you think it should be moved to]
[Reasoning]

BL <--> UU moves will normally not be approved until at least one more person expresses support for the move.
BL <--> UU moves will normally not be approved until at least one more person expresses support for the move.

EXTREMELY minor nit pick, but here it is:

OU (31 + Murkrow) These are very common, but strong enough to be banned. IT SHOULD SAY:
OU (31 + Murkrow) These are very common, but not strong enough to be banned.

NO nono.

It should say "they are very common but not too powerful, enough to get banned that is"

You said in your second post "ARE good enough to be banned" that makes them uber, and if they were broken then they'll be tested so...

Question: Why is Tangela, of all pokemon, banned?

[Phanpy] [UU/NU] ---> [BL]
[Reason: FEAR strategy. WIth Endeavor, Stealth Rock, and Ice Shard, Phanpy can pull the classic FEAR KO with an attack that no Pokemon is immune to (Ice Shard), as well as offer support with Stealth Rock.

Tangel is banned because if sunny day is set up, then a life orb set with hidden power fire and solar beam can not be stopped....with heat rock it will be bable to last 7 turns, ohkoing nearly everything in it's path meaning it will sweep your team 6-0, and if you think you can stop it with priority moves, then think again, because that **** is so bulky it can survive 2 ice shards from a cb swinub lol...

Also, i disagree about phanpy, phanpy is a wall and walls in little cup aren't that good considering how fast paced lc is, and you have to keep in mind that at lv5 even something that's 4x weak to stealth rocks will lose like 40% of his health due to the hp being so low at so low levels....so i kind of disagree about the phanpy deal...

Best to post that kind of suggestion in the original thread, here: http://s1.zetaboards.com/The_Little_Cup ... /538191/1/ (http://s1.zetaboards.com/The_Little_Cup_Forum/topic/538191/1/)

And it would be a good idea to remove the bit in the OP suggesting that UU <--> BL changes should be here..

If you played LC well enough, you'd understand why. It can be compared to the Garchomp of LC.
