We either choose BPass + Thunder Wave or another support move for the last slot, leaving exclusively on Heatran the job of countering Kyu-B, or go Perish Song + U-Turn. I don't really like Baton Passing the Song onto the switch-in, that forces us to switch more without a real reason, thus being crippled even more by eventual SR / Spikes / enemy VoltTurning.

Also, @dragontamer, I don't really see how Tornadus is an issue right now. If they want to use it they must dedicate 2 team slots (Politoed and Tornadus), and since they can't pick two things "last", we'll have plenty of times to pick a Tornadus counter. Politoed makes Keldeo work better, so it's a double-sided sword, and if they don't pick it as last pokemon there is also the threat of a Kingdra counterpick. Yeah, Tornadus can run Rain Dance itself, but I dont think it's something we should be afraid of, currently.

I'd like to use this post to wish a Merry Christmas for you all guys that are making this project awesome, for you random readers and OU subforum lurkers, and to everyone on Smogon that may read these lines.
