Hi all,

With the newest set of Pokemon games having hit Western soil, it's only natural for competitive play to transition over to this most current generation, and the advances it brings. However I have seen very little said about these games from a competitive standpoint here on PE2K, so I thought I'd compile a guide to everything that's known about the competitive environment in the fifth generation!

Note: This guide is centred around standard play (Uber, OU and UU tiers) only. Unreleased Pokemon, unreleased Dream World Abilities, and multi-battles are not taken into account.
