===[[Appendix:List of tiers#Over-Used|OU]]===
Over-used. Refers to commonly used Pokémon in the metagame that are inherently powerful such as {{p|Tyranitar}} and {{p|Blissey}}.
Over-used. Refers to Pokémon that are most commonly seen in Standard play. It is a misconception that all OU Pokémon are the most powerful in the game. OU is a term for tiering based on usage. There is however a disticnt corrolation betwen usage and usefullness in the tiering system, where the Pokémon a user deems to be powerful becomes used quite often. However, there are exceptions to this such as {{p|Magneton}} in [[Generation III]] where it was considered an OU Pokémon merely because it was used as much as Skarmory for the purpose of defeating it. Examples of common OU Pokémon are {{p|Blissey}} and {{p|Tyranitar}}
