Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I always thought Rain just gave Solarbeam a two-turn setup. Is that in addition to halving the base power or something?
I used Swords Dance/Sludge Bomb/Shadow Ball/HP Fighting Qwilfish just to see what it could do. Well, apparently, it 6-0's.
You're assuming perfect conditions. That's like saying that Fearow should be OU because it's HP Ground does ~40% to a Golem. Well, said Golem isn't going to be switching in to Hidden Power. The Sudowoodo in your example is going to be switching into Return or Shadow Ball. You said yourself that...
Aerodactyl deserves a place in a CB analysis simply because of his awesome ability to destroy your opponent in the late-game. Hell, he can sweep as soon as you deal with things like Swampert, Metagross, and the like.
Seriously, SBC most people don't worry that much about getting to 400 to outspeed Trode and Crobat. Crobats are Adamant 95% of the time in UU because they still outspeed most of the metagame.
227 is the speed most Salac Pokemon use because again, they're not trying to worry about the base...
