sure he's strong, but in this metagame i'd hate to run a choiced electric move. That's just begging for dugtrio to come in. Although if you can somehow lure it out...
When Pokelab's ready, all our ratings will be reset and the test will officially begin. They'll make an announcement when that happens.Anyone know what's going on with the voting reqs? Is the round starting over now that Lab is out? Does lab actually have the ladder cre implemented yet?
Yeah but there's a UU tournament going on right now that I had the (guts / foolhardiness) to sign up for, and I need somewhere or someone to test my teams on >_<Dude, the test hasn't even started yet. Wait for it; everyone will play once the test starts.
Agreed. alot of people think differently though.Not broken. Sure, it's great, but it can easily be beaten.
I found this line surprising, because as I understand it Scyther's biggest non-SR counters are Steelix and Registeel, neither of which wall Heracross. Since those two survive +2 Brick Break, they'd survive CB U-turn even better. Furthermore, my understanding of Heysup's team is that it's meant to spam Pursuit, eliminating Ghosts, allowing Heracross to Close Combat without fear afterwards. Maybe that's why I don't get Heysup's team lol.Scyther, considered the best Bug-type in the UU metagame before Heracross showed up, has not suffered a drop in usage. In fact, UU players (coughHeysupcough) have discovered that Scyther makes a great teammate for Heracross, luring in Heracross's checks and using U-turn to both deal damage and switch out to an appropriate counter, ensuring that Heracross has an easier time later on.
Even better then, since this gives Heracross a free switch in and a chance to wreak havoc.I found this line surprising, because as I understand it Scyther's biggest non-SR counters are Steelix and Registeel, neither of which wall Heracross.

Yeah it's not like Rhyperior is weak to like... what... 6 types... I also don't quite get any of your other points, as none of those have ever come close of being arguments for ban, but I digress.Heracross is immune to nothing. It is weak to fire and flying two common types in UU. It is neutral to Water and weak to psychic. All those things mean that its defensive stats count for very little unlike Rhyperior and others who resist the more common attacking types. Add to that its unfortunate speed tier where everything that can take a hit from it is slower and everything that can ohko it is faster. In addition to this its best STAB option lowers both its defensive stats which doesn't help it deal with its speed stat.
Heracross is OK, pretty decent, above average, good, alright, and solid.
If you honestly have a team that has "too much" trouble with Heracross you're bad at team building.
The thing is, I could probably substitute any of the previous suspects bar possibly the first six or so for 'Heracross' in your last statement, and it would be quite as true. If you can't deal with Raikou, you're bad at teambuilding, etc.Heracross is OK, pretty decent, above average, good, alright, and solid.

Or you use stall. And we do have some precedent.Heracross is OK, pretty decent, above average, good, alright, and solid.
