How long has the PU tier been around?
Sep. 22, 2014I had never heard of the PU tier until a month or so ago, and now it seems like everyone is talking about it. Was it around in Gen V, and I just never heard about it, or is it a new tier created in Gen VI?

PUBorn out of Antar’s mild curiosity, PU is the least “other-y” of all of the Other Metagames. It’s simply a tier created beneath NU, determined by the typical tiering cutoff of about 3.41%. It’s a rather turbulent metagame, since many of the most dominant PU Pokémon are quite viable in NU, and the border between NU and PU is constantly shifting every tier shift. The fact that PU constantly changes with the rise and fall in usage of different Pokémon sets it apart from other obscure metagames.
