In battling with other players(wi-fi,PO, etc), some Pokemon like Legendary Pokemon were more powerful then other Pokemon, with many having over 100 Base Points in HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed; This caused many problems, until tiers were introduced.There are many tiers, like OU, and NU.
