I'll add more to the OP as people play the tier~
Banlist: Reshiram, Zekrom, unreleased Pokemon/abilities, and all non-5th gen Pokemon.
Clauses:
In BW Cup, the only Pokemon usable are the 156 new Pokemon. As most of the Pokemon sport 130+ (Special) Attack stats, the tier is very fast-paced. Most battles will end before 15 turns are over. It's a fun tier and quite easy to teambuild for. Some top threats include Volcarona, Terrakion, Conkeldurr, and Landorus. In fact, Volcarona is such a big threat that it makes Stealth Rock and 101+ Speed Choice Scarf users so prominent. Trick Room is also a very viable strategy because of the offensive nature of the tier and all of the good abusers. Still, BW Cup is a fairly new tier and hasn't been played much, so there is surely much more to explore.
