  1. The First Smogon Council - Salamence

    I've been seeing a lot of Breloom in Suspect lately, and I'm seeing quite a lot of Flygon as well. I've only ran into a couple Shaymin in my experience so far, but they're definitely more common than in Standard. I'll experiment a little more; with Salamence gone, I'm making new teams like mad...
  2. The First Smogon Council - Salamence

    Sleep Talk Cresselia is able to take anything DD Mence and MixMence throw at it, and OHKO with Ice Beam. I'm also hearing talk of a Choice Scarf Suicune with some bulk added to it. The Suicune sounds highly situational, however, and I'm not exactly sure what it would be capable of doing...
  3. The First Smogon Council - Salamence

    As for replacing Salamence, yeah, going off topic. But walling him and revenge-killing him are very important; how is one to stop Mence? I agree, he's not nearly as durable or cheap as Garchomp or Latias, but we must factor in Intimidate and his typing; Dragon/Flying has a grand total of only...
  4. The First Smogon Council - Salamence

    Mence is... Mence. Let's face it; he centralizes the metagame. The majority of the time, unless you're above average in the skill of prediction, you need to carry a counter to one of the sets, probably the DD version because the Mixed variant is very easily revenge-killed (as MANY before me have...
  5. The First Smogon Council - Salamence

    Now that I'm thinking a little more over it, perhaps we should make Salamence a temporary Limbo; we just moved Latias to Ubers, and as May 2010 statistics aren't out yet (props to Doug for making those amazing lists for us), we've no idea if Cresselia would be more viable in the current...
  6. The First Smogon Council - Salamence

    Your first two points are valid, and I completely agree with them. Since when did we care about an idiot's opinion? They just suck at battling. Yes, I am saying you will be facing all of that, just not in a single battle. You have to prepare for every plausible threat as best you can, but...
  7. The First Smogon Council - Salamence

    Sorry if my wording was a little off; pretty early in the morning here. I meant I agree with him being moved to Ubers. Again, sorry if I caused confusion. x.x
  8. The First Smogon Council - Salamence

    Say <insert random person here> had only one Salamence counter, as crazy as that sounds, that could come in and perfectly counter the DD set, but required correct prediction for the Mixed set. <random person> saw it appear late-game, making <random person> believe it's the DD set, and doesn't...
  9. The First Smogon Council - Salamence

    Agreed with Dura. OT: I agree with Salamence being uber on the grounds that it has only one true counter, Cresselia, and that is true-countered by the current #1 and #2 most used OU Pokemon in the current metagame, Scizor and Tyranitar. Even Regirock cannot call itself a true counter, needing...
