>>46820020>Clearly defined top tiers in VGCOnly 40 or so Pokemon see any use, other than the occasional meme pick like Stonjourner or Pachirisu or Raichu
>Clearly defined tiers in Smogon7+ tiers, each with between 40 - 60 Pokemon, where lower tier Pokemon regularly see breakout success in higher tiers (Quagsire jumped from PU to UU, Scizor dominating OU before MagneBoom core, etc)
Smogon is way healthier than VGC because of the tiers. OU sees way more variety than even VGC does, and VGC allows just about every Pokemon, bar Jirachi, Mew, Celebi, and Magearna for some reason.
