I don't think anyone figured it would be gone so much as nerfed to oblivion.Before anyone starts, Stealth Rock will still exist in B/W and won't magically disappear from half the existing pokémon's movepools. If anything, you should hope they introduce more way to remove it of the field (Rock-types absorbing it, Safeguard giving full protection to indirect not-self-inflicted damage, Rapid Spin removing hazards regardless of hitting the opponent, Defog cleaning both sides of the field).
And the only pokémon that are truly hampered by Stealth Rock in OU nowadays are Moltres and Yanmega. Do not even think Articuno would have a chance.
Good ideas, and actually, this is my Articuno's set, and it does well een in ubers:Before anyone starts, Stealth Rock will still exist in B/W and won't magically disappear from half the existing pokémon's movepools.

Zapdos is of course better than Articuno^Subroost sets are generally pretty viable, though I think Zapdos would do it arguably better as Thunderbolt hits Steels harder and it is the fastest of the three (though Moltres is pretty good at it too, save for bulky waters).
Kewl, I said this one too, but it just came to my mind the typings of Zek&Reshif people are guessing types, I'd put forth a speculation that Victini could be fire/electric, corresponding with zek's and resh's secondary typings. There's no backup for this though,except for the fact that it's red and yellow. fire/electric isn't the greatest of typings but it would nom the hell out of Scizor at least, that could be cool
How about it being a kind of Rayquaza (in the sense of breaking apart the fight between Ky and Gro, NOT the typing or stats, lol)? It can be Zek&Resh's secondary types and it breaks up their fight.. after all, it is a phantomHmm, like I said, it's really hard to say. I had an inclining that the next "one" of these legendary's would be a fire type but :/
It almost has a pre-evo look about it, digimonish. I like it alot though :3 I can't wait to see it's trait, I hope it's good.
EDIT:
I think it's a good guess, basing it's typing off of the legendaries but... Manaphy really didn't have anything to do with it's, Neither did Jirachi(type-wise) Celebi, Mew's DNA was used for Mewtwo.
the phantom thing still hasnt anything to do with its origin or whatever, its just a classification for te 600 event pokes like jirachi or mew. and thats why i dont think it has anything to do with reshiram and zekrom and isnt fire (really, it doesnt look like a fire poke, and before you aks: yes reshiram does)/electric(electric is more possible than fire though).How about it being a kind of Rayquaza (in the sense of breaking apart the fight between Ky and Gro, NOT the typing or stats, lol)?

Lol, but you never know, I mean who expected Resh and Zek to turn out Fire and Electric?the phantom thing still hasnt anything to do with its origin or whatever, its just a classification for te 600 event pokes like jirachi or mew. and thats why i dont think it has anything to do with reshiram and zekrom and isnt fire (really, it doesnt look like a fire poke, and before you aks: yes reshiram does)/electric(electric is more possible than fire though).
of course thats just my opinion.
Since it's #000, maybe it's ???-Typed. That'd be something.
