GAH! I can't seem to figure out a fast enough counter for the new Rotom formes! Would a Choice Band Adamant Scizor OHKO with Pursuit? Although the Rotom-H formes carry Overheat...so I really need some help. Any ideas?

Oh my goodness, nobody ever uses Suspect Ladder anymore. I feel that if I won 7 matches in a row against somebody, I would immediately be in the top 20. It is also impossible to get a match anymore, considering that people are tired of playing against the same person over and over again...=/

True, centralization is always going to happen in any metagame. It is uncontrollable because it is absurd to think that an over-centralized pokemon would be thrown up the ladder just because it's over-centralized, except for Garchomp of course, that was just terrible times for everyone. But that...

Yeah, I think it's safe to say that Latios v. Latios usually results in a switch =/. I try to get in my Metagross ASAP if a Latios switches in when I switch mine in. I think the worst part is Latios v. Scizor, though. Since Scizor tools around Latios like a baby. Most people go for the switch...

Oops, lol. I'm not scared of Quagsire, I just thought that it couldn't learn Thunder (my bad). But thanks anyway I would've never noticed that. I was thinking about both these pokemon last night before I went to bed. I realized how many other leads are faster than Darkrai (w/o Choice Scarf)...

It is extremely late at night, possibly 1 in the morning. I'm still awake after sleepless hours in bed and I have an epifany (I think I just butchered that word): UBERS!!!! They are very strong and the metagame is extremely fast paced, meaning I was in for a fun night. This team died a while ago...

I agree that Hypnosis was lost because of the percent drop. When Platinum came out, Sleep-inducers like Gengar, Yanmega, Milotic, and Bronzong found other options. I agree with Polis4rule. Sleep-inducers found toxic-stall and paralyze to be an even more valuable status than sleep because toxic...

If you have never been swept by Latios, then you have gotten lucky or have the prediction skills to switch into a counter. As to what you said earlier about 'opening a gap for your Mixape', this is particularly why Latios is so awesome. It has the defenses, movepool, and raw power to be a lot of...

Well, it would have to be a suicide lead meaning it would serve the purpose for killing and then dying. There are plenty of great sets, but since you want it to be a lead you should try Swords Dance. I won't give you the EVs since that's for you to decide, but I would go low speed high attack...

Dragonite can be anything honestly. Please, go out into the metagame and find me the pokemon with better defenses/attacks that can be a cleric, physical sweeper, special sweeper, wall breaker, revenge killer, and a status abuser. If you can I will eat my computer.

Yep your right; Latispecs is way broken. I think its this set that seperates Latias from Latios the most in that Latios has less special defense and defense, but makes up for it in a very respectable 130 base special attack. When given Specs, Latios is a monster but it becomes way more...

Yeah I guess this has become a pretty crucial topic. This is my opinion in what should (might) happen if this situation is to become reality. BTW, this is all hypothetical and is just what I think. 1. If Latios gets voted into OU, there might be some time before it gets there. But once it does...

I'm a little confused as to why you are attaching Brave Bird on Skarmory. It is a wall, yes? Depleting its HP purposely in an attack is like blasphamy when we're talking walls. Sure, you can Roost, but all I'm saying is that Drill Peck would be a better move there instead of Brave Bird because...

Yeah its a nice idea...but this sort of thing usually fails pretty quick. With a negative priority, Whirlwind and Roar usually get about 2 pokemon out until the opponent catches on and attacks the Phazer. Once the Phazer is down, a spinner can come in and rape away all of your spikes which you...

WOOT!!!! Clericnite owns RaikouLover!! Thanks for introducing me to it. It really helps me out when that damned Rotom burns my Metagross. I'm thinking of even putting it in for Latias (since Latias has no place in my team anyway). Really a nice thread. I'm happy that there are so many other...

Great ideas darkness I loved them all (especially the Metagross Rock Polish, you really explained how well it works and why).

Hmm I think I understand a bit clearer. Before Seven Deadly Things said this and you explained it Chris I knew we were just testing Latios to see how the metagame would fare against it and if it was clear that it can be stopped then it can be sent to OU. At least now I understand the process...

This has probably been asked before but when does Platinum come out?
