Pokemon Tiers
At the current state there are six tiers in the pokemon metagame. They are Over Used (OU), BorderLine (BL), Under Used (UU), Never Used (NU) and Not Fully Evolved (NFE).
Now these rankings are a little screwy as they rank them based on their usage in battle. With the exception of NFE. There are many OU and NU pokemon that are insanely strong. However due to the current strategies and usage patterns (and personal preferences), they generally don't get used. Here’s a link to each tier that explains the pokemon that are in them:
