With the advent of Platinum's additions to move pools, walling combinations are sure to change. We need new ways to handle the addition of Bullet Punch to Scizor, Ice Punch and Thunder Punch to Lucario, and Salamence who can be a DD Outrage variation or remain the old DP Specsmence for a surprise factor. These are only a few of the new threats Platinum, but the new movesets redefine counters to certain pokemon. We need new innovative ways to keep certain threats from plowing down our teams.
So perhaps we can start a discussion here. What are new ways the experts at smogon have found to defend themselves? It would be most beneficial to this topic if you could post what you think the biggest threats of Platinum are and how you defend yourself against them, wether it be not letting them in or just walling them.
