Then why even make the tier if it isn't finished yet?

This is an awful NU list. The point of the format is to give a home to people who aren't viable in UU... ...but under the current definition of NU, it has excellent physical attackers like Tauros, Marowak and Kangaskhan...it has excellent special attackers like Glaceon, Tangrowth and...

A couple thoughts: 1. Anything with Ice attacks is going to crush you. Half your team is quad weak to it (Gliscor, Dragonite, Salamence), and none of your guys are neutral to it. Given that Ice is a very common attacking type in OU (to deal with all those dragons, naturally) I can see things...

Thanks for your input. I'm a little resistant to take out Luke and put in Steelix - after playing some more games with this team, Extremespeed is really damn useful, and the occasional Close Combat has been a real TSN turning point. I'll probably make an alt team with your suggestion on it...

So in my ongoing quest to have one semiviable all-one-type team for each type, here is my all-Steel team. Predictably, I made it for use in the OU environment. The team is still in the early stages of testing, I've played it only about 20 times. The lineup thus far: I'm...

4th Generation - the physical/special split, and all the new moves, really improved a lot of my favourite guys who were completely awful before. (read: Kabutops and Absol)

The one I'll miss most is...Abomasnow, oddly enough. I know Hail teams are big jerks, and I know he has to go - but without him, Rain Dance Ludicolo will see even more play. And I hate that guy.

I love fighting Taunters. It's easy to tell who they are and just use attacks. Besides that, spiking and taunting and destiny bonding all in one fight takes longer than Froslass's average life expectancy. It doesn't live through much, so it usually has to choose - and just one or two of those...

On a similar note, I'm fairly confident Froslass will retain its place in UU if Abomasnow gets booted. It doesn't seem to do anything particularly annoying without Snow Cloak, and frankly I can live with my opponent wasting a turn to set up 5-turn Hail, or wasting a turn and an item to set up...

I don't have a problem with it - I'm just surprised, since from my personal experience he really isn't that hot. Then again, I accept that my personal experience will differ from that of most people, since I'm both comparatively new to competitive play, and I play weird stuff. Speaking of being...

Wait, Raikou is a suspect? How? I don't think I've ever seen him kill more than one 'mon, and he sure as heck doesn't fit into the defensive or support categories for BL.
