They're overused terms which people use as an excuse to say something is broken, purely because they can't think of a better argument. Most of the time they don't even know the meaning of the two words. I'm not even sure if overcentralization is a word at all. Chrome doesn't think it is. If...

I'm not even going to bother pointing out how much is wrong with your post. You're either using an incredibly sucky Reuniclus set or seriously underestimating its bulk and power.

The only things in OU I can think of that beat both are Dragonite, Hydreigon and Reuniclus. Dragonite can get phazed out or burned, Hydreigon requires multiple switch-ins and very good prediction to take out both, and Reuniclus... well, as long as it doesn't switch directly into Giratina, it'll...

If we brought down all the Ubers, then we'd just be playing what was essentially Ubers in the first place, but calling it OU instead. That wouldn't be achieving anything other than the loss of a tier.

Giratina is enough of a pain in Ubers. If you really want to bring it down, go ahead and test it. But don't start complaining again when you find you can't break through stall teams, and begin arguing that offense is no longer viable. This happens all the time, actually; no matter what gets...

Roserade 60 HP/70 Atk/55 Def/125 SpAtk/105 SpDef/90 Spe Roserade may have low usage in UU, but that certainly does not mean she is not a threat. Boasting a very high Special Attack score, decent speed and powerful offensive moves, she is a dangerous offensive threat. On top of that, she is...

Poor Roserade, just hanging in there at #50 of UU. If NU existed she'd be pretty close to it. Funny to think how she was around #40 in OU last Gen and now she's all the way down here. In fact, quite a lot has taken a severe fall... who would have ever thought Politoed would be used more than...

I also have to agree with this, Hydreigon has always impressed me more than Latios has. Sets that aren't choiced are impossible to switch into without Chansey or Blissey, while some Pokemon can work around the coverage Latios runs. Hydreigon's Speed doesn't hamper him much, in fact it helps him...

As long as you consider the threats in weather teams, you'll be capable of taking them on with non-weather teams. I personally find rain very easy because I use Ferrothorn, and Sand isn't much of a problem either because I have Gliscor. Sun was becoming a problem for me, however, so I replaced...

Weather certainly isn't mandatory to do well in the metagame, even though many people have stated this already. I managed to get up to #81 without a weather changer or move, but weather users that knew what they were doing did screw me over a bit. It did give me the advantage of not having to...

That's only ever happened with Garchomp, when the standard D/P team was Garchomp/Garchomp counter/Secondary Garchomp counter/Garchomp counter counter/filler/filler. I don't think that's happening with anything at the moment. If I may give my two cents, I'm finding Breloom to be pretty...

Mono-ghost isn't too bad either, having Chandelure and Jellicent to its name now. Psychic has also become quite good with the addition of Meloetta to stop Ghost-types from ruining your fun.

Let's quote this yet again... Everything you get outsped by when using Modest can do little to Hydreigon, with the exception of Haxorus who doesn't show up often enough to consider Timid.

My only shiny was an Impish Floatzel back in Pearl. Could be worse, I guess. No idea what the IVs are.

Fair enough. But I still don't see a good enough reason to ban a Pokemon that is only broken under rain. So I suppose Ban individual broken Swift Swim sweepers, but only with Drizzle would be a viable alternative, but that's pretty complex.
