The humor is so sharp, so witty, so subtle, in fact, that you'd almost swear there wasn't any at all.

The December stats are out and so the tiers will change for the new year.  Here are the new changes:

New to OU:
Dugtrio
Alakazam
Chansey
Jolteon
Donphan
Mamoswine
Tornadus

New to UU:
Swampert
Sableye
Bronzong
Krookodile

New to RU:
Poliwrath
Magneton
Rhydon
Aerodactyl
Lanturn
Slowking
Smeargle
Roselia
Spiritomb
Cresselia
Scolipede
Whimsicott
Sigilyph
Klinklang
Druddigon
Golurk

New to NU:
Victreebell


So as you can see, the big changes are that a lot of things from NU went up to RU while NU only got Victreebell in exchange.  Swampert goes to UU finally and things like Chansey and Tornadus finally get their deserved place in OU along with the return of Alakazam after so long.  Dugtrio makes a massive jump from NU to OU too!  UU takes a massive hit when it loses Donphan.

Alakazam deserves it, he is awesome.

Chansey and Blissey in the same tier now is funny, but Chansey has her rightful place now. with all the fighting types, she'll fit right in.

Donphan, I guess Sturdy makes up a lot for it, or perhaps people just use him a lot. OU and UU just exchanged one rocks user for the other, but Bronzong faced challenges in OU due to all the weather boosted special attacks, he does still serve the niche in countering several physical attackers in the tier, namely Landorus and Gliscor.

Tornadus, Jolteon, great for drizzle.

Big swine is powerful.

Wasn't Dugtrio in RU or NU previously? That's a huge jump.

Swampert going down, the grass type presence there balance him.

Most of the RU stuff that moved up were mons that I've used in NU (Slowking, Scollipede, etc) They're all pretty nice.
