Feraligator can be stopped by Leafeon, whom outspeeds the SD version and I'm fairly certain can take a +1 Ice Punch. Slowbro can also take everything except Crunches.
Milotic could probaly also be stopped by a Leafeon, although Leafeon probaly can't OHKO it and takes some pain from Ice Beam. Ludicolo pretty much stops Milotic cold and hits it hard.
Mismagius is a bit of trouble to counter, now that it has NP. Being that it resists Shadow Ball and takes nuetral HP Fight, Drapion can counter it with Dark attacks (and I think it has pursuit).
I'm not sure by your question if you want 1 universal counter to all of them, but in that case Scarf Rotom checks them all.
I can't stand Clefable... I know Wigglytuff gets Wish and Seismic Toss...
Could it function as a pseudo-Blissey with Flamethrower, Wish, Toxic, and Protect? Or would Seismic Toss over one of those moves be better?
I don't really know where to ask this, so it goes here!
I've decided my next breeding project will be a Gliscor- and as hard as it is to breed for perfect IVs AND the Ability I want, which two IVs should I pay most attention to while breeding?
I've decided I want to breed a Jolly one for the Dancing Tank set (Swords Dance / Earthquake / Roost / Baton Pass)- So I figure I should be aiming for perfect HP and Speed, right?

Not wanting to use Clefable would be OK if they were fairly equal, but Clefable outclasses Wigglytuff so much! Why do you hate Clefable?
with what? Metagross? Bronzong? Regirock? Registeel? Something else?
Because I went as Jigglypuff for Halloween as a child!
Does anyone here have any experience using Donphan outside of UU? He has no recovery besides Rest, but he does have access to SR and Rapid Spin.
Hi guys. Can anyone suggest a good nature for an Altaria using the Draco Meteor + Power Swap strategy? Thanks! :D
I want to make sure I fully understand the new procedure for stage 3:
If at anytime a suspect receives enough votes to equal 66% of the voting pool, it's instantly uber. If a suspect is voted 50%+1 uber twice in a row, it becomes uber.
If garchomp is voted uber in the next round while manaphy and latias are voted ou again, does this mean that a metagame with just manaphy and latias as suspects will be tested?
If all but one suspect are voted uber, will there be another round of stage 3 with just that suspect, or will we go by the stage 2 results?
Will stage 3 end if in a particular round all remaining suspects are voted ou? Is this the only way stage 3 can end?
My understanding is that stage 3 can theoretically go on forever if two suspects are alternately voted ou and uber. Is this true?
Thanks to anyone who answers!

Modest, Altaria generally needs all the power it can get when running offensive.
I believe this should be the last round. If Garchomp gets 50% or more Uber, its definitely staying uber. I'm pretty sure Mana and Latias will go OU if voted OU. I'm not sure about other circumstances, like if Chomp is vited OU it would get another round as Mana and Latias have now, and if Mana or Latias are voted uber they probaly will get a second chance if within the 66% mark. Yeah, its kinda confusing.
All depends on your team. All of them have pros and cons. Just check if your team has any holes to fill. If you already have some things that reliably take and outspeed the base 90s (or are in the base 90s speed running max speed EVs) I'd say go Quiet. If you have an SD Ray weak, or have some need to outspeed most base 90 speed pokemon, go with Hasty. Mild is like a compromise of speed and power/defence. Really though, anyone of those natures will do
no it doesn't, whether its UU or BL does not change its preformance in OU at all
I know that,
I meant is makes it seem less appealing.
(at least to me)
and I have another question,
how do you become a Moderator?
Thanks!
What makes Spider Web that much of a better choice than Mean Look? Whenever I see sets for Smeargle mentioned that involve trapping, Spider Web is always mentioned instead of Mean Look. Why? Don't they do the same thing?
T-tar needs to run a lot to OHKO Skarmory with Fire Blast. Using 252 EVs and nuetral nature, Skarmory is KOed 75% of the time after SR damage, (and only 33% of the time if it has a turn for Leftovers).
Positve Nature 252 EVs garentees the KO after SR, and has a 50% shot w/o it. Positive 184 EVs is the bare minimum to ensure a KO after SR damage.
Generally, due to the amount of investment into SpA it takes, you are better off going for 2HKOs on Skarmory.
