Something that disappeared with the fateful </epicdrama server incident some time ago, was precisely this thread and its useful discussion.
This space will solely serve the purpose of discussing each Pokemon's placement in their respective tier lists; beg to differ, rant about how stupid a certain position of X Pokemon is (keep it flame free though), *insert discussion with common sense*.
We're starting with Smogon's Standards which are undoubtly the most accurate at the moment. Some stuff is a little off though, age destroyed some sense here and there, but hopefully with some observations and help from you guys we can make it loyal to the current metagame. It's a good start kick nonetheless.
UBER
This list englobes the Pokemon with the highest base stats, usually way off the rest of the Pokes's League. They have huge base stats, very wide movepols and overall great type combinations.
Arceus
Darkrai
Deoxys (All but Speed form)
Dialga
Garchomp
Giratina
Groudon
Ho-oh
Kyogre
Latias (regardless of Soul Dew)
Latios (Same as Latias)
Lugia
Manaphy
Mew
Mewtwo
Palkia
Rayquaza
Wobbuffet
OU
This is the topmost tier for the standard metagame. It contains very strong Pokemon base stat wise, movepol wise and overall type combination too. They stand in the, sometimes, slim line between OverUsed and Uber.

BL
This is the most shaky and unstable Tier. It basically serves the purpose to include Pokemon which are underpowered for the OU tier, and at the same time, too strong for the UU. It stands as a middle-term category and is considered as 'fake' to many battlers.

UU
These Pokemon presented in this list are the most underpowered for the standard metagame. They have the lowest base stats, being Fully Evolved Pokemon, and a very tight movepol which makes them both predictable and underpowered. They require much more thought to them, but can be as useful when used in a team environment.
