I'm not really sure if Tyranitar OHKOs Venusaur with Fire Blast especially since Venusaur has a higher base SpD compared to Tyranitar's SpA. (I'm not really sure if Tyranitar should be mentioned as a counter especially since Venusaur is faster and can OHKO Tyranitar back with seed bomb)...

@trickroom: I'm quite surprised you approved this. I would have thought that Metagross would have been mostly outclassed by Groudon with his higher Attack and Speed (with access to both swords dance and rock polish), but guess not. Also should Zen Headbutt be mentioned in the AC section since...

Not enough power in most of his attacks. Metagross needs to be Adamant to do some form of damage in Ubers, but he fails to outspeed common revenge-killers after an agility if using an Adamant nature. Plus its outclassed by RPGroudon

On the checks and counters section, I was wondering about adding Scizor and Roobushin on the checks and counters list, since they seem to be significantly higher threats to ending Terrakion's sweep compared to the counters the analysis has listed below. (Slowbro and Gliscor take heavy damage...

For the choice band set, I'm not sure what Heracross outspeeds by dumping all its EVs into Speed, but can you just dump EVs so that it outspeeds min. Spe base 90s while dumping the rest in HP for extra bulk? Heracross's base speed is 85 so it's not outspeeding anything significant even if you...

Didn't someone already make an analysis for Ludicolo in ubers already (cornmatthew I think his name was)? Anyways, would timid be an acceptable option for Ludicolo as a rain dance sweeper as it allows you to outspeeed Choice Scarfed Garchomp/Palkia while still retaining the ability to OHKO both...

This is a late reply, but there is a good argument to whether replace Growth with Swords Dance on the SD set as Venusaur will generally be used in the sun. I would take Growth over SD for the unpredictability imo as a single "free" turn could potentially save you the match (aside from the...

ok I see. Thanks

Assuming that DW is released, I wonder why Serperior isnt given a mention? Serperior@Life Orb/Leftovers EVs: 6 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Ability: Contrary Timid Nature - Leaf Storm - Hidden Power Rock / Hidden Power Fire - Giga Drain - Substitute I wonder if this has been suggested...

Would Giga Drain be an acceptable option over Grass Knot for the Rain Dance sweeper? Life Orb + Entry Hazards wear down Ludicolo rather fast, and Giga Drain allows Ludicolo to heal some HP while still dealing major damage to things like the weather ubers.

To be honest, I never really needed Dark Pulse on Hydreigon as Dragon covers most things that Dark does. Heck, a Choice Specs DP already does tons of damage to Reuniclus. If you're talking about a choice scarf one, I would recommend that you keep Modest instead of using Timid because...

you can outspeed +1 Gyarados as well as +1 Dragonite with Modest + Scarf but honestly, Im liking Timid + Specs way more than Modest + Scarf. The power advantage that Specs gives cannot be ignored. Modest + Scarf allows you to get ahead of Scarfed base 90s but thats pretty much it. Maybe DD...

So basically, any general Uber such as Palkia and Darkrai are broken because they give a significant advantage to most teams. Assuming that a broken pokemon is considered an Uber, for a pokemon to be broken it has to cause a significant change to the metagame to the effect that it would be...

Extremspeed doesnt generate enough power even without a swords dance to justify its use though. Personally, I would replace Extremespeed with brick Break and make the recover the 4th move or something. or you know, use Dragon Claw as the 4th slot otherwise Ray and a bunch of other dragons...
