If you're aware that you have a bias, then what about working on it ? You state that a Jirachi player is not going to let Heatran get in the way of his sweep, but on the other hand a Heatran player...

You should try to use it. You may overblow Deoxys-S as you want and go "omgwtfbbq it's so frighteningly unpredictable with its two sets" when you see it against you, but that's a common bias ;...

You've got to be kidding. They had no impact on the battle whatsoever, apart from that time where Rosey cleverly guessed that Dennis would go for the finish with another Shadow Ball. And that's an...

Are you asking about its use beside nullifying screens ? Well, it's a good coverage move on Pokémon who seek a physical Fighting option, like Haxorus, Nite and Mence. You don't even take it with the...

True, I need to find a more reliable calculator. Still, it's handy to get past Quagsire, and HP Ice is too good an option not to consider.

I have a problem with that statement.
The most used Steel-types, that is to say Ferrothorn, Scizor and Forretress, are neutral to EQ, and hella tough to boot (yeah, you carry Fire Blast for those,...

Hazards are just too useful to pass up for offensive teams. I can really only speak from that point of view, but from my experience so far...

As an Ice-resisting mon that can make competitive use of a perfect accuracy (and STAB SE) move, Lucario comes to mind. Granted, it still has to rely on Bullet Punch/Crunch for Froslass.

I have mixed feelings about Life Orb.

On the other, it really negates any bulk the bearer could have...

Same here, Zam really is outstanding.
As for Latios, LO Zam can't OHKO unless Modest + SR, in which case it's still a 37.5% chance.

Still toying with that 4th move on a LO set, and I must say I...

On a general note, I think the debate gets unnecessarily messy at times. People just can't agree on what the criteria for banning something are : brokenness ? Centralization ? Hax-inducing nature ?...
