Looks like this RMT is getting some nice attention! Thanks for all the rates!
So, to adress LucaroarkZ's rate....
Choice Scarf Garchomp is an interesting option. I actually had one on the team at an earlier beta point. Didn't quite make the cut. The main problem I have with Garchomp is that without Breloom, I lose a couple of things. One is Spore, which is a priceless utility. Another is that STAB Seed Bomb it provides, which is my main answer to Bulky Waters. I know from experience that without a solid answer to those things, you'll have a really bad time. And then there's Poison Heal, which gives me a pokemon to switch into status, which is incredibly helpful. I'm hesitant to replace it with Garchomp, but I'll give it a try.
Gastrodon is something I considered for the team but never really tried out. I'd miss Taunt and the immunity to Fighting, but it would be nice to have an answer to electric attacks. I'll need to test it out and see if Fighting types become too much of a problem without Jellicent.
Now, about the Choice Scarf issue in general, I'd like to hear more people's thoughts on that. At the moment I apparently have two opposing sides for and against Choice Scarf Latias, and I'd appreciate more feedback or new ideas to help clarify the situation.
For anyone who wants to know, I personally think that the most replaceable member of the team at the moment is Scizor. The main thing he provides the team is Priority, which might not be necessary if a Choice Scarfer took his place. I've tried this before, but Scarfers like Garchomp over Scizor opened me up to Mamoswine and the like. Bottom line, I'd like to hear more suggestions about possible Choice Scarfers and what team member they would replace. If anyone knows of a good Scarfer to replace Scizor, that would be much appreciated. Of course, if you think that Scizor is necessary for the team and that there's a better alternative, I'd like to hear that too.
Well, I hope to get some nice feedback from everyone! Thanks again for all the support!
