Can some one tell me what I'm looking at? Are these all currently considered OU by smogon? If so why is it when I check the smogon dex under SM I find some from this list unde UU BL and what not? Where's the consistency? What am I missing?

That's viability rankings (and outdated ones at that)
Basically, this is a ranking of how good the Pokemon are in the tier, with S Rank being the best Pokemon in the tier
>shedinja in the same rank as azumarril
tapus really fucked it up, huh?
tiers are determined by usage, viability by objective features like stats, movepool, ability, typing...typically these are in step w one another (Lando-T and Lele are ubiquitous in the tier RN and also S rank) but sometimes not (ZardY is BL, Zydog is UU, and Torn-T is RU, but all are A-)

Basically this. Those pokemon aren't necessarily OU. Stuff that isn't OU by usage can still fulfil a viable niche.

why is salamence so high

Z-Fly+Moxie+GG Dance is one hell of a drug.

Sorry Interupting all of you in this fine time of day, but can someone tell me where is Kyurem-W? Either im blind or to stupid to find him in this pics.

KyuW has always been uber. If you mean KyuB it's in B+.

I see, thank you, and have a good time of day.

Its that good? Sure DD Plus moxie sounds nasty but it also looks kinda gimmicky since youre using fucking fly
>>31345629
Fly isn't that bad, but the point is you get a one-time use of a fucking nuke that doesn't even need to charge like Fly does. It can help you break through mons like Tapu Fini and Mega Sableye that would otherwise bring Salamence to a halt.

>Tyranitar is A-
I thought he was getting shit on by everything. What happened?
>>31345750
I don' t know. Mega Scizor is crapped on by everything in A rank and above except Mega Metagross and Tapu Bulu but it's hanging around.
>>31344295
Fuck the Tapus. I'm still using Clefable.
