Read that before you post, please dear God.I would like to thank these "quality" users that did a fine job at derailing this thread from its intended purpose (you know who you are), and turning it into, I believe the phrase is: " a clusterfuck". This thread is to discuss the users of Stealth Rock in Generation 6, especially the users now and those after December 27th (when PokeBank is released). Consider this a general warning, if I catch users going off topic, and complaining that Stealth Rock is broken / needs to be banned / damage caps or whatever, I will instantly infract. Please don't test my patience, and stick to the threads intended purpose please.
Have a nice day.

Love it or hate it, Stealth Rock has been one of the most important moves for a few generations now. It's essential to most teams because of just how good it is at punishing switching and ensuring KOs. When you think of OU Stealth Rock, there are more than just a couple Pokemon that should jump to mind from gen 5. You have everything from TTar and Lando to Heatran and Ninetails. One of the first thing you would analyze on team preview are what the reasonable Stealth Rock threats were.
Having arrived in gen 6, we have acquired more options and a time where people are going to experiment with more and more things. My challenge to you is to identify what we have as Stealth Rock threats in the new generation.
Currently I can see Mega Aerodactyl, Mega Aggron, and Tyrantrum. At the moment, I'm having trouble finding the Stealth Rock user I need for some teams (before we get Pokebank). This is what got me started thinking about what exactly there is to throw up rocks in this gen.
