Some may ask
Why SU?
With every generation, power creep has become more and more massive. This makes even the lowest tier supported by Smogon, ZU, flooded with more Pokemon that most would expect. This created the idea of a community with Pokemon that its usage are below the cut for ZU. Nevertheless, SU has metagame coverage on every generation from gen 1 to gen 9!

Tiering and Rules
As a community like any other Smogon subforum, SU has rules, if these aren't follow to some extent you are likely to get an infraction. General Smogon rules can be found here

SU tiering
As with every tier, tiering begins with the beta stage. During the beta stage, only the most overpowered elements of SU are quickbanned by the council. Anything that is voted ban with 50% + 1 support or more will be moved into SUBL. This process will repeat as often as needed and by the end of Beta we should have a playable metagame with the most glaring centralising forces removed. After some time, the council may begin to introduce banned Pokemon into the tier one at a time. The goal is to remove problematic Pokemon as quickly as possible, but give them the chance to return later on once we have a more settled and developed metagame.
