In case you're wondering, these are some of the most used pok?mon on the smogon shoddy battle server.  Which do you prefer?

Scizor is one of my most favorite Pok?mon ever.

No Breloom?

I say Gyarados because he evolves from one of the greatest Pokemon ever. Plus, he's one of the few Gen 1 Pokemon that are still really really good.

Infernape, not only is he awesome, but he can also take out just about every other Pokemon on that list.

T-tar and Gyarados are tied for first on this particular list.

Since I can only vote for one, I voted for T-tar, as he's the only one I actually use on my Diamond team (I could use Gyarados, but his best moveset is pretty much what T-tar already has, and I think in terms of Water types, my Vaporeon offers more variety to my team).

I love my Gengar (modest, max sp. atk and speed EVs) but i picked Infernape because i love using him <3

Lucario. He sucks on Shoddy, but he's cool overall.

Basically an OU poll. Best on there, as an overall, is Latias. Considering they dropped it from Uber, and it is one hell of a wall, I'd say it has the most potential. Metagross is a close second (and tied, if on the same team)...but Latias really walls well.

Wasn't Metagross Uber at one point? ????

I don't recall Metagross... maybe it's T-tar you're thinking of.

I thought i heard Metagross being mentioned as a counter for an uber pokemon, or something like that. something told me it was put into the uber tier.

Well, just because something can be made for a higher tier, doesn't necessarily mean it belongs in that tier.  For example, Meganium could be used as a decent UU wall, but it's still NU.

OK, i understand. Metagross is acceptable for Standard use, but you still have to watch out for it in the Uber Tier. 8)

Now, one more question...is Salamence Uber? ????

I think Salamence is considered standard. Isn't the only non-legendary Uber Garchomp? Either way, Parasect is great in Ubers.

Wobbuffet is uber too. and so is shedinja.

Parasect is nice there, but you have to wtch out. It has low speed and is incedibly vulnerable to flamethrower, as well as all the other comon uber moves (besides EQ)

What a surprise, this turns into a competitive battling thread.

For pokemon purposes. Tauros is what I go for, however when it comes to battling Vaporeon is a beast.

According to Smogon, Garchomp, Wobbuffet, and Wynaut are the only non-legendary Uber; no Shedninja.

I think that Shedinja is viable because of the lack of entry hazards and sandstorm (except that Tyranitar is also viable in Ubers).  Like Blissey is viable in Ubers, it's not Uber itself but it can still be used in Uber teams.

Im aware that Shedinja isn't really "Uber" but fits into that tier even better than NU.

and, waitwtf wynaut? ???? same reason as wobbuffet? i never have a problem killing a wynaut...its HP isnt high enough to pose a threat, but I guess its still Uber. Thats dumb, considering that its NFE. :|

Wynaut/Wobbafet, if played right, are guaranteed one kill a match. This was also the definition used for Garchomp when it was made Uber.

Togekiss is my fav. poke :U

salemence. But I don't use legendaries or psados when I play.
My Salemence is the poop though.

It was before you stepped in. All of those Pok?mon came off the OverUsed tier. Really, the discussion boils down to that part of it - not aesthetic, sentiment, whatever.

Correction then;  this turns out to be a competitive thread.
