The only water mons that is better that Samurott in-game are Swanna & Carracosta. Even the latter needs set up... Jellicent is OK but not that excellent imo.
No.

And exactly how many Ice types are OU again?
Dont forget Cloyster. Im not sure about Weavile though...
While water remains a fantastic typing, as does Dragon, fighting types have proven to be incredibly powerful and diverse attackers with the ability to find near-perfect coverage in just two moves
Technically there is no UU established currently, so every non-banned pokemon is to be considered OU.
Conversly, If you choose Snivy as your starter you will receive Panpour as gift early in the game
already been discussed, Infernape too powerful (perhaps) for UU, will probably stay OU or BL at the least
If there is such thing as a "worst type", it's probably Normal. It's not super-effective against anything and Ghost is immune, and it is only immune to Ghost, and is weak to Fighting. There are plenty of great Normal-types, but their greatness lies not within their type. All of the good Normal-types would be better off as another type, and so would Normal moves. In fact, if every Normal-type move were Dragon-type, they would all be better because Steel already resists Normal, anyway.
But because there are so many good Normal Pokémon and moves, it's hard to call the type bad. That is why I do not think there is such thing as the worst type. Worst type combinations, probably, but not worst type in general.

Infernape has advantages on a Nasty Plot or lead set, but until UU forms, I can't know if he will be too powerful there.
The only benefit of being Ice-type is Ice STAB (and I guess not taking Hail damage, but that's rarely going to matter very much). It's terrible defensively, resisting only itself and being weak to several common types, but offensively it gets good coverage and a 50% boost to damage is always useful.
Unburden isn't a straight stat boost like Intimidate and Swords Dance, though, and it's contingent on losing an item, so I'm not sure whether it's copied. Regardless of whether it is or not, Choice Scarf is still the only common way of not being outsped by Ditto.
Does anyone know if the Global Union wi-fi matches really check to see if you're using movesets from Gen IV? Serebii.net was kind of brief about it. I want to use Entei in a Double Battle team, but Extremespeed is imperative and it's only available in a Gen IV event. Would they prevent those moves even though that Entei was MADE for Gen V?
EDIT: Ah, that makes much more sense. Don't know why I didn't read it that way. Thanks.

I thought that check was only on Pokémon where Isshu was their native region (in other words, Pokéshifted mons wouldn't have to worry).
Does anyone know if the Celebi WonderCard will be downloadable to B/W?
I think it's only the 4th gen games. It says that in the commercial.
Since this game comes out tomorrow for the US, if I preorder it right now and do day of delivery, would it come Monday since Sunday is no mail?
No but when you see obvious leads and anti-leads (Swampert/Azelf for example), you change the order so that a counter comes out.
Still looking.
When somebody extracts the usage stats from the Smogon Server on PO. When that will be? Nobody really knows...
Assuming I'm not using any damage-dealing attacks, is Careful Mew just as good as Calm Mew, or should I go with Calm to reduce the rare confusion damage? I'm finally RNGing for Mew, and am wondering if I should reset if I get one that is fully-flawless but is Careful.
If you are reducing confusion damage you are better off with Calm and minimum Atk IVs.
Right, I'm just wondering if there's really much of a point in doing that. I have to RNG for Mew, and if you're not familiar with RNGing WonderCard Pokémon that have random natures, you have to hit your seed and simply get lucky with the nature. I'm trying to figure out if I should go ahead and take a Careful Mew if I get it, or if it would really be worth the trouble to reset and keep trying for a Calm one (which could take forever).
EDIT: Nevermind, I am now the proud owner of a flawless Calm Mew :)
Okay, I'm about to go get pokemon black (or white) but I'm still undecided about which version to get. Which version do you think I should get and why??
