Tier Changes to Expect
These are some tier changes to expect:
1. Blaziken has a high change of replacing Infernape as the OU fire/fighting starter because of the Speed Boost ability that it gained through the Dream World, as Infernape's biggest and only advantage when compared with Blaziken is its speed. Meanwhile Infernape itself only gain Iron Fist (powers up "Punch" moves) as the new ability.
2. Politoed and Ninetales going up in tier, most probably OU. The drought and drizzle is pretty good for a non-legendary pokemon. Expect combos such as drizzle Politoed + swift swim Kingdra to tear through the enemy team.
3. Poison Heal Gliscor to reign in OU for stall teams.

Pokemon Black and White: Turning the Metagame Upside Down
The release of Pokemon Black and White has brought Smogon to hard work once again. With these two games released they should rebalance the competitive metagame, as new pokemon and old ones with new abilities from the Dream World makes too much difference to the metagame. Although smogon, as of now, hasn't yet released the new tier system as they are still working on it, there are a lot of changes to be expected once it is released.

Blaziken-Speed Boost
Ninetales-Drought
Alakazam-Magic Guard
Ditto-Eccentric
Vaporeon-Hydration
