Default Pocket's List - Do these OU need Revamps?

QC peeps got lists of Pokes with OU analyses on-site, and we must figure out what needs a full revamp and what only requires minor revisions that can be done by site staffers (w/o going through QC). You guys are free to provide input here. Ultimately, other QC people and I will make the final call. Please only contribute on the Pokemon / sets that you have play experience in the new BW2 meta. I will update this OP with my thoughts. The decision will be made by Tuesday.

Aerodactyl
- Initial Impressions
  • Scrap Hone Claws
  • Stealth Rock goes first
  • Offensive goes second
  • OU-worthy: yes
  • OU Revamp?: yes

Final Verdict: Yes to Aerodactyl's Revamp

Bronzong
- Initial Impressions
  • Scrap Tank
  • Scrap Dual Screens
  • OU-worthy: hardly, but yes...
  • OU Revamp?: no

- AccidentalGreed's edit:
~ re-consider tank set?

- PillsburyDoughboy's edit:
~ Tornadus, Mamoswine, and non-Gravity Landorus counter / check
~ Trick & Macho Brace; Hypnosis
~ revamp worthy - yes

- jc104's edit:
~ tank set stays
~ scrap defensive Trick Room

Final Verdict: Yes to Bronzong's Revamp (largely fine-tuning Tank set; test Trick & Macho Brace)

Cradily
- Initial Impressions
  • eww, why
  • OU-worthy: no
  • OU Revamp?: no

- Cherub Agent's edit:
~ Cradily is usable in sand teams

~ No to Cradily's revamp

Final Verdict: Delete Cradily's OU Analysis

Durant
- Initial Impressions
  • Superpower :0
  • OU-worthy: yes
  • OU Revamp?: yes
