2 days ago I asked /vp/ about getting into competitive and tried out some things and it has been a fantastic experience
Made a team based around Mega Loppuny and currently placed at 1487 OU (idk if that's good how much is the highest anyway?)
But what I noticed that after some matches I found that so many pokemons are moved to Uber from OU (like Mega Salamence or Greninja)
What is the prominent reason for those pokemons getting moved to higher tier? is it the usage? or any other reason?
I understand about big legendaries being in their tier, but how about the smaller ones? I've seen at least 3 out of 5 teams using legendaries such as Landorus or Thundurus (I've seen Celebi too but not sure what it does)
It feels weird battling against legendaries because I don't use any, are they that good in the meta?

A pokemon being legendary or not doesn't factor into where it goes in the tier. They base it on both usage and general power. If a pokemon is seen constantly and is a huge, major threat that can't be dealt with outside of specifc specialized counters it's usually considered for being bumped up a tier. Greninja for instance I think was moved to ubers because protean + his insane movepool made him unreadable and very hard to deal with since you never knew what he was packing. Aegislash has effectively 150 in both attack and defense stats along with priority and a god tier protect varient. Mega Salamence is just retard strong with aerialate double edge/hyper voice.

Alot of people bicker about whether or not certain things should be banned or not though, which is the main cause of the whole smogon bashing. Smogon is far from perfect in their decisions, although I think for the most part they're ok. Certainly better than the last VGC at least.

They get banned because they're fucking bullshit. The only ban I didn't completely agree on was Aegislash but trash like MegaMence and Grenigger can eat shit.
