Can anyone explain why Shaymin-S is in Uber, I know its kind of a noobie question but....
Moody, followed by sleep.what clause will we test?
By common weaknesses,I think it was indicated to the attacks of Darkrai, GhostCeus,and Normal Arceus's shadow claw. Arceus Normal and Darkrai are both very common.Arceus Ghost also has decent usage in the stats,and even more usage in higher level of play.Just out of curiosity, I want to ask that why does Ghostceus' on-site analysis say that it has 'weakness to common offensive types'?
Being an experienced Über player, I would like to point out that out of all Pokemon *commonly* seen in the tier, a grand total of only four Pokemon can hit it for SE damage with their STABs (GhostCeus, Darkrai, Giratina(-O), Tyranitar), and the usage stats for Feb 2013 confirm this. Even then, Tyranitar is surprisingly rare given that it's #26, and Giratina (especially A) doesn't even use it's Ghost STAB that often. In fact, LACK of common weaknesses is the reason I find GhostCeus to be the best mono-attacker in the meta, apart from maybe RestTalk Kyogre. Also, while it's true that Normal types completely halt a mono-attacking Ghost, just one Poke, according to my playtests, is an amazing partner for SubCM Ghostceus - Skarmory. It can come in on the pink blobs with impunity, and set up all over them with Taunt and Spikes. Also Skarmory is IMO the single best counter to ExtremeKiller in existence right now (no one runs Overheat). And again, from the usage stats, pink blobs and Normal Arceus are the only Normal types in the top 50.
So yeah, am I missing out on any Ghost/Dark types that threaten Ghostceus?
Moody is banned under a separate clause from evasion.Is moody banned under evasion clause on ubers or not?
Mewtwo doesn't really need hurricane coverage wise. Hurricane gives redundant coverage considering it would generally be hitting things like Skymin (which Mewtwo hits with Ice Beam) and fighting types (which Psystrike takes care of). The ability Unnerve (which this event is apparently getting) would be nice to prevent wobb from using custap on you though!So it's just been confirmed that Mewtwo's getting Hurricane as part of the event for the new Genesect movie in Japan...
Would that be viable on a Mewtwo set?
