Umm, owls are birds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owl Owls, birds of the order Strigiformes, include about 200 species of mostly solitary and nocturnal birds of prey. Sorry, but I must lol :)
who cares?
Fly is a terrible move because it can be predicted and punished by anyone who isn't comatose.
Don't forget to include idiots
I saw a numel...
Just numel... The funny thing is that it actually tried to set up and hit me with eruption(or lava plume) at +4 Special attack
It did like 25%

The guy who said "->implying owls are birds: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oumonotype-95190759". I see how that wouldn't make sense and not knowing what he said.
Bounce is a common move on gyrados, why is fly any different?
bounce has a paralysis rate, fly does not
Because gyrados needs the coverage to hit grass types and breloom after avoiding spore
I guess, except most breloom's wouldn't stay in anyways... Assuming its not sashed
Fly is more accurate, and has more power, which I think makes up for the paralysis. Gyrados doesn't use bounce for the paralysis rate.
Gyrados only uses bounce because it absolutely has to in order to get past grass types. This really only hinders Gyrados' effectiveness, and it would love to chose almost any other flying move if it had it. There is absolutely no other instance of a sweeper that needs flying stab as bad as gyrados that doesn't have brave bird.
yes he does, he's at base 81 speed, which isn't very high, hitting those pokes faster than him with paralysis helps him greatly, it also helps in stalling
it scares away certain counters because they don't want to be paralyzed
for the record, gyarados also learns ice fang, which will out damage two bounces, so covering grass types is not the reason why he's using bounce

You think that's bad? I can't even count how many times I've seen someone try to use Toxic on a Gengar.
Do people seriously not understand basic type immunities?
To be honest I really had no idea Gengar was part Poison.
Up until gen 6 where I got into competitive.
I've been playing since about gen 3 of sorts.
Would Dual Chop Infernape be considered silly? I saw one recently in Monotype.
Calm down, it's just a /vp/ injoke.

When you don't actually play much OU (like me) you see some unusual things when you do. Like this: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-95335543
It was a brilliant play for Kyurem black. Fusion Bolt and Ice beam are so out of style now, plus with faries its much more viable to use hidden power and flash cannon for coverage. And with roost and dragon tail, plus leech seed, it became a stalling machine like it was always meant to be. Because 170 AT is too low to sweep or anything. Better have it stall.
That Delphox set is absolutely brilliant.Back with the 1v1 reports.
