Some reasoning behind all this: Some mons are outclassed generally by others, like Mewtwo vs Deoxys Speed. A restricted Pokemon takes up that limited slot so a nonrestricted that does about the same job is probably better. Some mons rey on something, like TR, to thrive like Ursaluna. Others simply are not great at anything but good overall like Volc. Unique abilities or moves or typing might set some mons apart, especially with decent stats. Generally slower Dragon mons than Miraidon and Koraidon aren't great since they lose the fight. Reg I is the same as J except no mythicals are allowed. Asterisk Pokemon won't be allowed in VGC 26. Kalos dex will be applied later in the VGC 26 season with the new version Z-A when the rules change (in 2026 and the game comes out on Oct 16th, 2025).  

Reg G Usage Stats - May 2024

Here are the usage stats from May of 2024. 

https://www.smogon.com/stats/2024-05/gen9vgc2024regg-1760.txt

https://www.smogon.com/stats/2024-05/gen9vgc2024reggbo3-1760.txt

https://www.smogon.com/stats/2024-05/gen9vgc2024reggbo3-1500.txt

As you can see, Incin, Rapid Strike, Rilla, and a few others are used the most as non-restricteds. 

The most common restricteds so far are: Calyrex Shadow, Miraidon, Calyrex Ice, Koraidon, Terapagos, Zamazenta-Crowned, then after that it cuts off sharply to include lesser used Pokemon like Kyogre or Zacian-Crowned. 

The game is so new it is hard to say which tiers these Pokemon are in but it roughly feels like people have it figured out already by the usage. Too early to say which mons are underrated or overrated for me. But Terapagos might be the most overrated while Groudon might be underrated as restricted. And Ting-Lu might be underrated and Mienshao overrated as non-restricteds. Wide Guard is better it seems now though and is becoming a lot more common to wall new spread moves like Astral Barrage.

VGC 24 Reg G Speed Tiers

 

Relevant Speed Tiers for VGC 24 - Reg G 

UPDATED  on 12-16-23 (some "bad mons" not included)

*This is partly a copy and paste from my VGC 20 Speed Tiers but I am adding the new mons to it, ignore the mons that aren't legal in it for now, I will delete the mons soon that are not in VGC Series 2.*

   "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 kind of focus 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. 

Bold means Important Speed Benchmarks. With that said, let's begin by listing the speeds:"
