Relevant Speed Tiers for VGC 23

UPDATED  on 12/04/22 for Series 1

See https://victoryroadvgc.com/sv-speed-tiers-2023/ for a similar speed tier list

*This is a copy and paste from my VGC 20 Speed Tiers but I am adding the new mons to it, deleting the mons that aren't legal in it for now*

   "I am making this with no disrespect to Trainertower. I think they post a lot of good information and articles, but I believe their Speed Tier list is not very useful as it includes too many Pokemon, even if they are not used very much (https://www.trainertower.com/vgc20-speed-tiers/). I will be copying their info but weeding out the non-relevant stuff. And it includes the same Pokemon many times in different ways, such as its speed in certain settings or a certain nature when I don't believe that it is often relevant. 

   You should be assuming worst case scenario (Speed increasing nature) and most common scenarios and not too focus on every little tiny possibility. This makes you not laser-like focused on what you need to be focused on, which is on the relevant stuff, rather than making your team beat things that are very unlikely with losing track of what is likely to be used.

   This guide will be based on usage from the common and some uncommon mons I consider to be relevant based on usage stats or its potential, not necessarily how good the Pokemon are. If a mon is rarely used then I may consider it to be irrelevant, no matter how good it may be. Unfortunately the usage stats are kind of old and doesn't take into account guessing what people will use in the future, so for a tournament you need to think about this. Speed stats are also useful to know  for your own team at times even if it isn't speed-raising nature. 

   Slow enough for TR to me means too slow for tailwind, but also is slower than most random mons that are goodstuffs and don't typically raise their speed for tailwind. Uninvested is in general not useful information unless it is the most common EV spread. Bold means Important Speed Benchmarks.  With that said, let's begin by listing the speeds:"
