Tier Guide
This is the tier called Dun Deal Tier, or DDT for short. The basic idea behind it is that underloved Pokemon get new gimmicks and higher tier Pokemon get nerfed to see how they would perform in a lower tier environment. Further explanation down below.

Rules
- There are a few higher tier Pokémon to play around with;
- There are a few Pokemon with so-called ability/move upgrades in this tier;
- The DDT consists of the tiers DDT, DDT NFE and DDT LC. Pokémon from these tiers are legal unless they are mentioned in the banlist;
- DDT is a community tier. If you talk trash/play like a dick, know that people will know you are a dick and reject you from events.
Ability Changes
There are some Pokémon that are always overlooked, and I feel sad about that. Sableye sucked before it got access to Prankster. Ledian is often overlooked for competitive battling for the lesser stats in comparison to others who could fullfill his role much better. No longer will these be overlooked, for I have given them new abilities and moves to see how they will fair in the DDT! Take a look around in the Pokémon list and you'll see what I mean.
