What happened to bl3?

Question

i remember when I was making my tourney idea and I was looking at tiers, bl3 was still a tier. when I looked at the tiers page on smogon just now, it wasnt there! it had disappeared! so, is bl3 not important anymore?

P.S. I am not making this up. believe me

I'm sorry, what it is BL3? I'm just curious. ;_; I don't do competitive battling. Sorry. xD

BL3 was one of the BorderLine tiers. It was the third one, the first being BL between OU and UU, BL2 is between UU and RU, and BL3 was between RU and NU but no longer exists as the answer below states.

um i'm not sure if the tier was brought back in 2017 but i noticed ribombee is in BL3 tier >-< there's probably others if the tier was brought back, but i just noticed ribombee.

It was never really discontinued, it just had no Pokemon in it at the time this was posted. If it says Rimbombee is the only one there, then that's the extent of the tier right now. All BL3 means is "this Pokemon got banned from NU but doesn't get usage to be RU" -- sometimes there may not be any Pokemon that fit that description.

Answer 1

Jynx, the only Pokemon that lurked in BL3, moved up to RU. So that Tier is nonexistent again.

And jynx moved down to NU after that.
