Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
OU by technicality is updated every 6 months with mons that have usage far below the usual OU cutoff (has to be less than 2.28% iirc). Azelf is not there likely because, despite being bad, it's still used enough in ladder to stay in the regular OU list.
I'd say the biggest W about this is that this thread won't be unbearable to read again but I wouldn't be surprised if it goes back to dropping ubers discussion
Won in 2, ggs
