So, is this where we discussion any change prior to out tier list?

You should update the descriptions of the tiers. UU are not UU because they "don't play well in Tier 1," it is just as the name says: they are underused. The Pokemon that make up about 75% of usuage are OU, while the rest are below. BL is formed by "banning" Pokemon from UU just as Ubers are banned from OU.

Aerodactyl is not used enough to be OU; it is at least BL (sometimes considered UU, but it's still being tested).

Donphan, Medicham, Ninjask, Porygon-Z, Raikou, Regice, Rhyperior, Tangrowth, and Weezing have dropped in usuage and are all BL. Weezing is actually UU now, but is being tested to see if it needs to be rebanned to BL.

Roserade should be up in OU, its usage has skyrocketed lately. A fast sleep lead that can set up Toxic Spikes is a huge asset. Mamoswine also, as CBSwine is a beast.

Where are Abomasnow, Slowbro and Crobat? They should be in BL

Absol, Armaldo, Articuno, Blastoise, Claydol, Cradily, Dodrio, Drapion, Electrode, the three Hitmons, Jumpluff, Jynx, Lopunny, Miltank, Ninetales, Sandslash, Scyther, Shuckle, Steelix, Swellow, Toxicroak, and Venusaur are not very broken and are all considered UU.

Azumarill is a monster with Huge Power + Priority and is BL. Pinsir also has enormous attack and a decent movepool. He is BL also.

It for now, I just skimmed and I'm sure I missed a few. Just trying to help

Also, new addition: Garchomp is now Uber.

I don't know.

With all the Platinum updates, Garchomp seems to be counter more easily.

Regardless, Garchomp was never much of a problem to me personally before Platinum. I know it usually take two Pokemon to kill, but the same can be said for many others.

Also, is this our own tier, or are we just following Smogon's tier? If so, I just contradicted myself.

I just don't think Garchomp is Uber.

Attentionally - if we are following Smogon - Deoxys-S is apparently Uber now, and a Skymin test is in the works.
