I don't know abut articuno, what with that special attack stat, but moltres will love this.
Unfortunately fire/flying is still crappy coverage but an extra stab move to hit things never hurt anybody. Hurricane only really helps moltres against things it couldn't really take care of by using air slash before.
Articuno isn't usable period.
More often than not, moltres will find himself in a position where the weather is not in his favor. It's not as if he had four move slot syndrome before, so dedicating one slot to hurricane will help him when the enemy team has rain up. That's what I was getting at here. You're not going to be using moltres on a rain team. You're going to be using hurricane when the opponent uses rain against you.
SO pumped they added move tutors. That was one reason ss and hg were sooo good.
Btw, when does b2 and w2 hit Canada/US?
Nice set Shrang!Actually, I like the look of Hurricane Moltres. Fire / Flying is excellent coverage (hi Ho-oh). I am actually considering using Offensive SubRoost Moltres in the rain. Have some Toxic Spikes up, get a Sub up, and then you can either destroy things with Hurricane or stall out anything you can't kill. Fire Blast destroys most Steel-types that resist Hurricane anyway, barring Heatran, who rain teams just eat for breakfast. If Heatran lacks Roar, Moltres is actually the one winning. The only problem is the fact that Rain Volc exists, I guess, but Moltres will be far from bad.
Moltres @ Life Orb / Sharp Beak / Leftovers

dont know if anyone noticed, but articuno/moltres now have the move hurricane
I wonder if this will give articuno some viability in rain teams?

Hey ive been wondering if anything can actually really counter the new thundurus, if I am doing my calculations right, even the most specially defensive Chansey gets a minimum of 48.6% from +2 focus blast (life orb). If only checks exist, what is the best check?
I have the answer you are looking for man. There is one counter, but it doesn't have reliable recovery... Here it is:Hey ive been wondering if anything can actually really counter the new thundurus, if I am doing my calculations right, even the most specially defensive Chansey gets a minimum of 48.6% from +2 focus blast (life orb).

Damn i didn't think of the most obvious counter lol :D LO + 3 attacks Latios is probably the best counter as he can take everything, has reliable recovery, is faster and ohkoes back! Thx god we found a counter to this thing...Might be something worth toying with (a big FU to volt-turn) however, scarf-Latios looks like it may have more utility on my team, Latios can take an HP ice probably.
Does anyone know of somewhere that we can actually play with all these move updates? If so, please post!!
