I don't care about Dragonite because I run Scarf Haxorus : )

Hey guys. This is my first RMT, and I decided to use my Rain Team. It's been doing OK, but I think it needs a little work. It isn't really a Rain Team but is actually a team that uses Rain to stop other weather. Here's my team lineup: Thundurus@Timid 252 Sp.Atk Ev's;252 Speed...

Hail sucks, bro. That's why it won't be banned and what you ignored in your post. 100% Blizzard isn't a big deal and the Pokemon with SNow Cloak or Ice Body, frankly, suck. Except you're completely wrong. Stealth Rock isn't that over-centralizing, while Sandstorm requires you to either run...

Finally, Thank God... No more bitching about Sand Veil...I remember that argument taking up half a month's worth of pages.

Banning weather has been shot down two to three times already. I think it's time for you guys to give up and accept that weather is staying. For anti-weather guys, here are the options: 1. Continue advocating for the ban of weather (good luck) 2. Suck it up and deal with it. 3. Move to UU. 4...

People play a game for fun. If you guys enjoy winning, then by all means use a cookie-cutter team. Nobody will hold it avainst you. If you don't want to use a "cheap strategy" then use a non-weather team and play for fun. tl;dr Let people play the way they want to play.

Rain > Drought. The reason is because Politoed is just the better starter. If Drought was put on Heatran I would be singing a different tune.

So, basically we just renamed the BL tier Rarely used. How clever.

I hear Wobbuffet takes out weather starters REALLY GOOD. It tanks anything they can throw at it and just KO it right back.

Sand Veil is not really broken, IMO. Sure, I have about a 20% chance to miss him, but really, it's no bigger deal than missing a Stone Edge. Also, the most common moves agains Garchomp are at 100% acc. Just pretend that all your moves are at Stone Edge acc. I mean, come on, you guys act like...

They won't be banned. Movepool complications are too much of an issue.

Actually, Ice is pretty redundant with Dragon, while being Dark helps Hydreigon beat psychics and ghosts. So the part of offensive typing depends on your team. Also, bulkiness won't matter when you're Stealth Rock weak.

Hydreigon is better than Kyurem in almost everything. Better speed, movepool, and typing ensures that even if the Latis are banned, Kyurem will still be BL at best.

I really don't see why Reuniclus needs to go. Strong physical attackers can 2HKO it, and Trick is a major problem. It may not have too many counters, but it's so easy to check with physical attackers it almost doesn't matter. Against a competent team, Reuniclus really shouldn't KO than 1 Pokemon...

Deoxys-D is nothing compared to Deoxys-S. Taunt>Deoxys-D Taunt<Deoxys-S Magic Bounce isn't a good enough argument because you need some really good prediction.

I really don't like this metagame. Now before you go and pile up on me and say "NOOB!" I'll tell you I got to 1300 with a non-weather team. While that's not too good, it shows I have a decent, not amazing, but decent knowledge of this metagame. And I can safely say that the centralization of...

@TheAvenger I think a counter is something that switches into Blaziken, not the other way around.

@Quixum That instance is invalid. The chance of a Moddy user gaining a Speed Boost and then sweeping your entire team is a 1/7 chance, while your example is significantly lower than that. Also, a team can easily stack 2+ Moody users to get an even bigger chance of sweeping, boosting the chances...

The thing is, Magneton wasn't that bad in Gen. 3 as it could kill other steels beside Skarmory as well. Now tell me, are you seriously comparing using Magneton in Gen. 3 to using Eviolite Golbat in Ubers?

Is it just me, or does Blaziken remind me of Gen 4 Salamence? They're the same in that they have no counters since they can run physical or mixed sets that make it impossible to predict correctly. Think Slowbro's a counter? Blaziken 2HKOS with HP Grass/Electric. Also, Blaziken can arguably run a...
