It can still be countered by Weezing and Nidoqueen, both of which deserve to be used more honestly.No one realizes the power of Heracross if he enters UU. Bug / Fighting is the best possible coverage to smash any physical walls who try to get in its way. Tangrowth, Slowbro one of the best physical walls are OHKOed by Megahorn and Milotic and others die to Close Combat (2hko-ohko). Of course this is speculation of whats to come IF Heracross does come to UU.
Regardless, good stats Doug, cool fact about its percentage and Garchomp.
Sounds like Scizor is quite UBER.The big stat story this month is Scizor usage. Take a look at the stats below, and you'll see that Scizor made a significant jump. You may not think 3.2% is very much -- but that is HUGE for the top pokemon on the ladder. ... That 30% usage number is rare air for a pokemon in today's competitive game. AFAIK, only Garchomp has broken the 30% usage mark in the 4th generation.
Well, Slaking and Regigigigigigigigigigigas...Cresselia would also be the only base 600 in UU if she were to fall.
Small portion still. But anyways its been said countless times that Weezing can really wall a number of physical walls yet you dont see it very often. Plus, what can it do to Heracross? Will-O-Wisp is useless while Fire Blast is a clean 2HKO on Heracross. While it probably has an SD under its belt, it can 2HKO you with Stone Edge. Nidoqueen can't do anything as well but its the best counter yes, because more Nidoqueen's would have to carry Roar. Although a Facade set could be used and I'm pretty sure it can stop stall steams quite easily.It can still be countered by Weezing and Nidoqueen, both of which deserve to be used more honestly.
Alakazam being brought down means Ambipom leads might drop, due to Inner Focus.

Looks like Lead Mew is catching on hehe. It's nice to see that even in a "dead" metagame like Ubers, there's always room for new ideas.Uber Lead said:| 6 | Mew | 1358 | 5.49 |
They come out this month IIRC.The tier lists come out this month, right? Or next month?
donphan just sucks period in OU. as a bulky ground its outclassed by swampert and hippowdon. rapid spin is really the only thing it has going for it, which has become even less useful with platinum's introduction of the rotom formes.Wtf Donphan is all the way down at #60? It was hovering around 50th for like the past millennium and now that it's officially UU his usage in OU drops 10 places? Who else thinks this has nothing to do with Donphan's ability as a Pokemon and everything to do with his tiering as a UU Pokemon? It's like all of a sudden just because he became UU a bunch of people no longer want to use him. That's not the way things should work...
Two words: Super FangRandom Pizzaman said:Also, where the hell did Crobat come from?!
Um yeah I know Donphan sucks, that wasn't my point. My point was, it seems people stopped using Donphan as much as before simply because of its new tiering. While I don't think it deserved even that much usage in first place, the fact that it fell so hard so fast should not have happened in an objective metagame. It's not like Donphan became worse all of a sudden over the past three months.donphan just sucks period in OU. as a bulky ground its outclassed by swampert and hippowdon. rapid spin is really the only thing it has going for it, which has become even less useful with platinum's introduction of the rotom formes.
