I think that's a cause of Exteme Killer fear. Giratina puts such a cold-stop to it, it's actually quite ridiculous. Burning the Extreme Killer completely makes it ineffective and comepletely shuts it down. From there, along with Entry Hazards support, Giratina can simply Dragon Tail the opponent to rack up damage. Giratina-O also puts a stop to Arceus by using Will-O-Wisp, but packs more power than bulk (and he is VERY bulky). But after doing so, Giratina-O actually becomes a dead-weight, as +2 Shadow Claw would leave it at about 30%. Giratina actually works pretty well on Balanced teams, as with the hazards support and Dragon Tail, you can easily frustrate your opponent, especially with such amazing bulk. The SubCM Giratina-O is rarely seen, but very annoying to deal with.
