Long list
yeah, its over 600 mons
Not all Pokemon in first stages are LC. And the same for NFE! Chansey, for example, is in OU.
Ayan: I know that, chansey is BL, and if you didnt read my answer, i said "all pokemons i havent listed" and i listed chansey
but seriously: downvote is not necessary ಠ_ಠ, you are just annoying. NFE isn't an actual tier, and the reason chansey can't be used in LC is because happily comes before it. pokemons in other tiers than NFE, for example zwelious is still considered an NFE.
Rudeness much, Dr. Dude?
I agree with Kenzie here.
Just change NFE to "All other Pokemon not on the list"
blah blah ;P as you can see i might be a bit quick tempered some times :P the point is just that it took me a long time to copy that list manually, and i get voted down because of small details like that.. so, I'm sorry if i seemed mean there but, 2 down votes for saying "pokemons that isn't fully evolved" is just...
2? I upvoted. o3o
You didn't have to write a huge list, anyway. A link to Smogon would have actually been better, and it would have prevented those small quirks. Seriously, though.... Please be respectful.

Ubers, NU, and UU are tiers in competitive battling, designed to make the metagame more interesting and fair. Tiers are managed by Smogon. You can see all the Pokemon in each tier as of Generation 5 (they're still figuring out Generation 6) here: http://www.smogon.com/bw/tiers/
