LMAO yea no that would be a horrible thing to test. Unlike Kyu-B, Kyurem-W can demolish so much shit with two moves thanks to its ability and can take advantage of it's higher SpA stat unlike Kyu-B's higher Attack stat. OU and Ubers might as would have formed to make one tier if that occurred and leave AG as the new Ubers.Hi everybody!
My personal analysis is the following.
Giratina-O is a huge polyvalent Pokémon, which doesn't have a lot of answers: Clefable is probably its best, while you have Mega Audino and Wigglytuff (which can be at +2 after a Defog then), but I can't see another.
The reality is that even if it will give more interest to the OU metagame, it will raise the stall metagame, because 90 is outspeeded by probably any sweeper in OU (even with Shadow Sneak priority), and because of its HUGE defensive stats, which implies that it would be a GREAT alternative for Mega Sableye: it can burn anything, it can Defog, it has priority, it can set up Calm Minds (and be a great Restalker)...
It will so probably make longer the battle durations, which is... not the best thing for me. That's why I don't think it's the best idea for it to be suspect tested, but I would dream if the following one would be suspect.
I think that this thing would be, in my opinion, a better suspect test, because:
- It has more answers in OU than Kyurem Black: Sylveon and AV Azumarill blocks it, while they are KOd by Iron Head/Fusion Bolt from a physical Kyurem Black
- It's more easy to revenge kill it than KyuB, because of its lower Defense stat: most of its revenge killers are physical. I think to Breloom, Conkeldurr, Scizor, Talonflame, Secret Sword Keldeo, Superpower LandoScarf, which hardly revenge kills Kyurem Black, while Kyurem White is dead after that (Latios/tias are great RKs for it too, but do the same work for Kyurem Black)
- And especially, it would say a BETTER (and maybe the best) "F**k" to the stall metagame (especially at level 50), as you can see in the following calcs:
252 SpA Life Orb Turboblaze Kyurem-W Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 140-166 (39.2 - 46.4%) -- 24.6% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252 SpA Life Orb Turboblaze Kyurem-W Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Skarmory: 161-191 (93.6 - 111%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO

252 SpA Life Orb Turboblaze Kyurem-W Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 168+ SpD Ferrothorn: 153-182 (84.5 - 100.5%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
252 SpA Life Orb Turboblaze Kyurem-W Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Gliscor: 426-504 (234 - 276.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
And don't forget that this thing takes 25% on SR ;)
But anyway: I can be wrong in my opinion, that's game, and I think Gira will bring new colours in OU!
Anyway, does anyone know when the ladder will be up? I'm trying to get on now but it's laggy and can't even get into the teambuilder.
