This would limit the only move as "Spore", which is not true. Hypnosis / Dark Void / Lovely Kiss / whatever would break the sleep clause too. Relic Song WOULD break the sleep clause.
That is not what Kurona meant. The statement made indicated that the move, when hit, would cause sleep 100% of the time. When using Relic Song, the user has a 10% chance of putting the opponent to sleep. This is what Kurona meant when she said "it is if you use a move which had a 100% sleep chance" i.e. when you use a move whose sole purpose is to put the opponent to sleep. With Relic Song, putting the opponent to sleep is merely a byproduct of using the move. Hence, if she is correct, Sleep Clause is not broken.

What's a good counter to Alakazam in UU?
You should ask in UU's SQSA Thread.
Oops! I went to the wrong place on accident, my bad! Thank you!
The special attack will increase if the defense stat is the same.

I always go with Naive to reduce damage from relevant priority (who uses Vacuum Wave?), unless it's nature locked, an example being Extreme Speed Genesect which can only have a Hasty nature
I see a lot of mixed 'mon weak to Dark run Naive > Hasty due to Bisharp's Sucker Punch. Latios has so little physical bulk that Bisharp Sucker Punch OHKOs it whether hasty or naive; so in that case you might as well choose. It's all up to which priorities you fear the most but a lot of the time it'll make little difference.
Latios runs hasty usually because it is generally the zard-y and keldeo switch in on offense. Its a case by case thing.
Genuine question, I am not arguing or saying this pokemon should be OU or anything like that.. I'm just requesting a detailed reasoning behind the pokemon that deems it broken, overcentralizing, or too much for OU as I can't seem to find one anywhere nor does it appear so on paper to me.
What is the reasoning for Giratina-O being Ubers? Too me it just looks like a mega evolution holding it's mega stone with bad coverage, unreliable recovery (rest) and although amazing bulk like cresselia, taken down easily by power creep and bad typing while having subpar offenses without setup moves and unable to hold an item. Of course this is how I see it, but I just want to understand the true reasoning that I'm missing besides BST.

It's a bulky fucker that hits pretty hard for a tank. You could even run a -Def/SpD nature for a mixed set and I doubt it would matter when trying to kill it.

adding to what the nerd above said, it's typing+stats+ability+moves are very good, enough to handle threats in ubers, so i guess you can figure how lordly it'd be in ou. kaxrida learn to ou :p
What is Hydreigon's OU niche and is there a reason other than fairies as to why it dropped so far from gen V?
