I'm pretty sure rain teams have always been popular in UU.It seems more people than just me are using Rain teams in UU. That means people will start to prepare for it eventually. D:
Choice Band 2HKOes Gyarados or Salamence using either STAB with Stealth Rock and Scarf can Toxic or Stone Edge. Zapdos doesn't like Toxic or Stone Edge but it is a threat, and Heatran can only revenge kill.Hera's been on a steady decline for a long time now, about a bit before Platinum he started his fall. I'm not really sure why he's gone on the decline, as Platinum hasn't really changed the playing field much for him, except the popularity of Scarftran and Zapdos gaining Heatwave I guess. Oh and Gyarados and Mence are super popular and can take Hera easily, so people are gravitating more towards the other GSC bug.
Rotom forms utterly destroy him, as well as Gliscor being used more often due to the lack of Garchomp's presence. Gyarados takes on Scizor extremely easily, and Salamence can be EV'd to do so as well, it is more of the fact that Scizor can abuse U-Turn + Stealth Rock to wear down counters in a hurry, where Heracross might risk Megahorning a Heatran or Close Combating Gengar.Hera's been on a steady decline for a long time now, about a bit before Platinum he started his fall.

It was popular, especially with SubPerior and Colonel M made a thread about it...Code:48 | Rhyperior | 22512 | 3.32
Not necessarily true played in good hands azelf can double up as an exploder or a mixed sweeper for your team exploder meaning blowing up on key walls which your team may have troubles with. If you predict SR going up from your opponent and you set up SR azelf may well come back later. Generally the term suicide lead is used looking at pokemons base stats, its actually what you do with them that actually makes the difference.oh god it looks as if suicide leads are coming back in style... Where did the good times go? Well, at least meta is inb the top leading spot, grats for that, however azelf has a close second which is just meh.
I don't know why Rhyperior is being used less! Rotom formes are 13th in usage! And another thing! Rotom is really good! Cresselia isn't the best staller!To be honest the whole month i was playing on shoddy i didnt see one cresselia! I dont think it is the best staller in the game! Blissey is well and you see that it is used much! Personaly i have skarmbliss! The best stall ever! Furthermore with the usage of scizors of course rhyperior is used less and less! And another thing! Rotom formes are good and should be used more! I will have to wait one month to see if these forms go up in usage!
