Tier of the day!

Never-Used (NU)

 

As the name implies, Never-Used, commonly referred to as "NU", is for Pokémon that have problems competing in UU due to poor stats and/or movepools, and thus are extremely rare to be used in battles. This is where most novelty Pokemon reside in tiers as well as Pokémon found early in a player's journey. They are generally only used in NU battles; however, Shedinja  which is often classed as NU, is often used in other tiers, most notably Ubers. Many NU Pokémon are common in Pokémon Contest and Pokémon Super Contests.

    That's pretty neat. Just having a battle with low tier pokemon would be interesting.

    I always use who I like. Right now my team has become: Tyranitar, Swampert, Grumpig, Toxicroak, Magmortar, but no sixth. I wanna use Magnezone but I don't have the version that lets you get one. I might go with Rhyperior but I dunno.
