Resource Ask a simple question, get a simple answer: NU Edition

If you're thinking of making a topic that can be answered with one post, please post it here instead. New threads should be for discussion!

When posting in this thread, follow the following guidelines:

1. Your answers should contain at least a brief explanation, even if it was the simplest of questions.

2. While answering Yes/No question, please quote the question you're referring to. It gets confusing otherwise.

3. At least do a simple google search before asking the question here.

4. This is already in the Smogon rules, but I will reiterate again do not discuss ROMs or other illegal things.

5. Do not ask for Action Replay or other external device codes. Use Google for that.

What are some good Pokemon in the current tier?
I mean archetypes or just single pokemon.
We have lots of good offensive Pokemon (stall is almost impossible js). Archeops, Feraligatr, Zangoose, Pyroar, Barbaracle, Sceptile, etc are just a few threats we have. Personally I find Spikes stacking with Accelgor/Qwilfish + pivot + wallbreaker + sweeper quite a good structure to have. I also like Sticky Web with Leavanny in our tier. Go read the np thread cos there are a number of threats explained there

is this the best tier ever
stupid question obviously yes

Also is there a list of the pokes in the tier? I know the Sigilyph suspect page has RU stats for May, but if there is a pastebin list or something to reference that would be helpful

^^^ yeah, but it doesn't have everything, like crustle or mightyena for instance. Still good pokes to use even if they didnt make ru cutoff
