Well...there is Fighting Gem Deoxys-D. Easily OHKO's non-Chople Tar and does a heck of a lot of damage to things like Heatran and Genesect. I feel like Rock Gem Terrakion is inferior to SalacSD Terra in this metagame, because with Breloom and Keldeo everywhere nowhere near as many people are using Gliscor / Slowbro, but everyone is still using Scarf Gene / Thundurus, Tornadus, Latios, Starmie and what have you.

Also, what the heck is this about no one good using Feraligatr? The standard SD Torrent sweeper is scarily good in Rain. A lot of people, including myself, have used it successfully; Bri even got a Feraligatr based team to #1.
