Finally is here what many of you were waiting for LU. We have two new diferent tier (probably they will implemented soon), LU DW and LU Wifi. It was invented mainly to keep some notable pokemon like Cresselia, Celebi, Absol etc out of NU as well as to cut down the number of pokemon that will be in NU.
Both tier are similar but both still have some big diferences, like Cresselia being LU in Wifi but not in DW. I can't talk alot about this tier without playing it but one thing is sure, the power creep is huge. Personally i can't wait to try this tier.
And for those of you who don't know, tiers are obtained from the usage statistics, NOT FROM THE POKEMON'S COMPETITIVE STRENGTH. So if something falls to LU, it's because it's not used very frequently compared to other pokemon. Though, once the UU tier centralizes and stabilizes more, it's possible the cutoff will change.
Ok, finally got lists for the LU tiers themselves. Now, since there are a ton of pokemon in the tier(since no tier is below it right now), I just got the top 100 used pokemon from each tier's stats. To find a pokemon you may be looking for, use ctrl+f and type its name after opening the hide tags.
DW LU:
Wifi LU:
Ban list(might as well make a place for it now, just in case):

Reason: Updated the tier "list"
It'll certainly be interesting to see what will turn up as suspects, Porygon2 seems like a likely candidate. Anyways I am totally psyched for this, nice job everyone!

Thank goodness. Maybe now the Star-Dog Champion, aka Muurando, can get some usage.
Alright, a real non-weather metagame. No Abomasnow or Hippopotas, which is nice.
Well both sand and hail are going to be fully viable in DW LU, as both Snover and hippo are LU and most of their abusers are there as well. Anyway, I'm inclined to think that LU is going to turn into a stall metagame, especially after the first few bans come into place. Also, did anyone else smile maniacally when they saw this:
Stall? No. Aerodactyl and all his monstrous friends are back.
I seriously can't wait to play this. Except I gotta go now, and might be busy the whole rest of the week
I believe there's a pastebin floating around with all of the possible LU pokemon in it (excluding pre-evos not considered strong enough), but I don't have it.

The down turn brave little burncub bearcareless turnip snare rampages pitch color pages...down and out but not in Vegas. Disembarks and disengages. No loft. Sweet pink canary cages plummet pop dewskin fortitude for the sniffing black noses that snort and allude to the dangling trinkets that mimic the dirt cough go drink its.
I like the LU concept. I've been waiting for something like this for a while.
Though I'm not a fan of the LU name. "Little used" doesn't really make much sense as little is more of a description than a comparison word. I always though a tier like this should be called RU for Rarely Used.
ok i know LU is based on usage but i played a lot of LU battles today and Sand is really broken. Also Porygon2 is OU in DW and ppl have been using it in DW LU. So you really should fix that.
i know it's a little thing, but it'd be nice to have a combined list of everything that's not allowed here (Ubers+OU+UU) so it'll be easier to figure out what is. the way it is now, i have to open the DW OU and UU lists.

But anyways, this looks like it should be fun.
LU can also mean Lesser Used if it bugs you that much.

i reckon you should call it Less Used rather than Little Used. that is my 2 cents, deuces

±Porygon: Your rank in Monotype is 1/2687 [1453 points / 759 battles]!
Badges (10/12):
Because tiers are sorted by usage, not the "power level" of a pokemon or anything like that. Also, it's only OU in Dream world, not Wifi; that's probably the reason. And you meant LU, right?

I love the new LU tier but I have one small problem, when trying to go on Wifi LU it doesn't allow me to use it because it says I have a Scolipede. But Scolipede is allowed in in the Wifi LU because it is # 33. Can you fix this please. Here is the message that I got.
(10:22:22) The following pokemons of your team are invalid (ban, level, moveset, item...) in Wifi LU, hence you can't choose that tier: Scolipede.
