Surprised no one runs support Latias... it is so unbelievably good in this metagame. Takes all kinds of weather-boosted attacks, plus Ground and Fighting moves, paralyses everything in sight (Genesect gets utterly fucked on the switch-in), whilst providing support in Reflect or phazing. Obviously fills quite a specific niche for a team but give it a go - it won't disappoint. I run it on my Hail team and I couldn't have asked for a better defensive pivot.  |
Looks like fun! Although, if I could ask, why so much Speed on a Support mon? Why not more bulk? Roar has a negative priority anyhow if I remember correctly, and your speed won't matter there. It does seem like a good Genesect counter though, as you're pretty walled by it and it could blow you away pretty fast, but TWave it and it's crippled for the rest of the match, I like.

So I jumped in to see a match in OU, and found a fun little set the guy was running on his Rotom-W. Managed a 5-0 before the other guy Forfeit.
I asked the guy about his set, he said it was self made, and gave me the spread on it. I'll post it here for you all.

While the match wasn't some kind of ridiculous comeback or anything, or even something spectacular to watch, it was still a very interesting and powerful set.
