Cresselia on the other hand, used to be very very good before Scizor. CM versions were probably the deadliest to teams but the standard wall ones were also hard to deal with. It has moonlight, which in OU is not much of a recoery move since the sand makes it gain less HP, but in UU people will be forced to use snover or hipopotas to limit it's recovery.

Rhyperior was also a top contender in early DP, cresselia has paper weaknesses just like alakazam and rhyperior, its offenses are crap, it has exploitable ghost and dark weaknesses, it is vulnerable to taunt and without rest it is ruined by toxic

At one time the prevailing viewpoint was that the earth was flat, A popular idea is not always right
I'm not saying cresselia will be bad in UU or even that it will not be broken, all I'm saying is that we shouldn't make assumptions with too little knowledge.
