I in general support all of the people that disagree with the ban of Keldeo-R. (For Tornadus, I'm kind of split. It was a monster a month ago, but now there are plenty of checks that have sprung up, so I can't decide whether it's ban quality or not.) Keldeo is not really broken at all; it does in fact cover many threats but I think that's why it should stay in OU. It's a pokemon that can fulfill a variety of useful niches that are NOT overpowered but are certainly useful on nearly every team. For one, it's the best (and probably only) commonly used special fighter in OU- and it helps keep pokemon like Landorus-I in check. Keldeo brings a lot of versatility to OU, and is a common pokemon on today's offense. It has also promoted the usage of other pokemon- which of course is 'healthy' for any pokemon that wants to make a solid stand in OU. It has given the ever so common Lati@s another pokemon to counter, to Celebi and Starmie too. Also, the fact that Keldeo's best sets are choice makes it fairly easy to counter.
