Lucario and the Mystery of Mew! The Rise of Darkrai! Gotta Dance!! Pikachu's Summer Festival! Pikachu's Ghost Festival! Pikachu's Island Adventure! OU consists of the Pokemon used prevalently by our community. Since these Pokemon are used frequently, they can be assumed to have a strong combination of stats, typing, ability, and movepool, as competitive battlers use them with the intent of winning their battles.
All Pokemon present in the OU tier as well as those present in lower tiers may participate in what is the standard metagame. In tournaments, people use Pokemon that can compete at the highest level to allow them to win, so naturally they are an excellent means of determining the OU tier.
These statistics provide the number of times each Pokemon was used in the standard metagame league during each month, and those of the three months prior to the OU tier creation are utilized in particular. The Pokemon usages from Pokemon Showdown! Each Pokemon usage of each month is then divided by the total of the usages during that particular month, so that the probability of that particular Pokemon being used during that month is obtained.
These months are ordered in the following manner: if the list is being updated in July, then April, May, and June correspond to months 1, 2 and 3 respectively. From previous Shoddy Battle statistics, a small computer program was written to generate an equation that would fit best the predicted probability P with the actual probability for each Pokemon.

Other pokemon, such as Charizard mentioned, are still quite good, but they require actual thinking to use correctly.
You can however sling poop so I'd say it's a fair trade-off yes? Unlike the other banlists, Ubers functions as a format itself. They may also issue bans on certain combinations of these, such as a party having two particular moves at the same time, although this is considerably more rare.
Playing without any restrictions or only very specific rules such as the "Endless Battle Clause" is typically referred to as "Anything Goes". Battle simulators typically offer tier-based formats by default, automatically enforcing the restrictions associated with them.
To play with these formats in the games themselves, both players need to agree to the rules in advance, as in-game rule-creation options typically do not offer enough granular control over the rules to support these formats.
