Actually it can learn it at level one using the move re-learner. Togekiss can also learn the combination although at a higher lever.

Virtually anything can sweep with a full set of hazards up, heck I've phazed teams to death with skarmory. Rapid spin exists for a reason.

My overall feeling about the suspects: Tornadus-T So torn-t only has 2 counters... that's still two more than some pokes in OU (hydreigon comes to mind). It can switch out of revenge kills? So can every other poke unless its a trapper (tell me what traps hydreigon). It can outlast...

I was asking about the statistics before and after tornadus-t's release, to be clear.

It may have made it spike to a point (like what happens EVERY time a new threat is introduced) but by how much? Jirachi has been top 10 for as long as I can remember (admittedly not very long). Rising by 2 or 3 places is a bad argument for over-centralization, especially when there are other...

I didn't claim that they all had jirachi, just that it was extremely common, with virtually all having either it or a blobs (or both). It can also be said that skarmory and gliscor are stall staples (as physical walls), that doesn't mean there aren't alternatives (hippowdon for example). Also...

SpD jirachi was a staple on stall teams long before torn-t was around, since it was one of the only pokes capable of taking repeated draco meteors. Torn-t is great and maybe even broken but are you seriously claiming the #21 poke in OU is overcentralizeing?! We're not talking about genesect...

Final gambit still KO's the user when the opponent uses protect (when it should fail). Not sure if ghost switching in does the same thing.

I don't think anyone can give proper advice on this without knowing the rest of the team, although if you go for tornadus use the new tornadus-T

I use hidden power ground in the last slot to hit heatran and jirachi trying to wall hurricane.

^That and tyranitar wishes it had 100 base speed...

I hope it's ok to bump this, it got buried with all the new BW2 team's. If I don't get any more responses then I guess that means there aren't any new suggestions to be made.

I consider surprise to be more of an added bonus to an already effective tactic. Expert belt landorus is an example, it is effective even after your bluff is discovered (although not as effective).

Trialed lum berry but found it was too situational, lefties was much more helpful overall.

Duel screen espeon is good although I need SR and bronzong needs EQ to handle magnezone and heatran (among others). Azelf does a good job of delaying hazards if not stoping them dead and any attempt after that the opponents risk letting something setup. I was thinking of changing mence to...
