July is with us, and with it comes the second ever update to the UU list.
And a rather big update it is, too. This is expected, since UU is still in its infancy, and hence its metagame shifts quicker than, say, the Standard one.
Three new Pokemon enter the list, while a whopping six Pokemon exit it. Two of the three new entries are due to not being used in OU anymore, while one of the six Pokemon that exit the UU list is due to being used in OU quite often - see the 'New OU List (July 2009)' thread.
Say hello to the three new entries: Donphan, Dugtrio and Tangrowth:
(Note that Donphan and Dugtrio are UU because they are not OU anymore, while Tangrowth was always allowed in UU but is now in the UU list due to relatively high usage.)
And which are the six Pokemon who exit the UU list? Bid farewell to: Gardevoir, Muk, Ninetales, Poliwrath, Primeape and Umbreon:
(Note that Umbreon is out of the list because it is now OU, and hence banned from UU, while the other 5 are still allowed in UU, but don't make the list due to not being used enough.)
The required changes to the UU ladder will probably happen once the current UU testing is over, and not immediately.
Here is the full new UU list for the sake of completeness:
